Why you won't want to turn off the Mortal Shell 2 beta: first impressions
Apparently, the developers of Mortal Shell 2 carefully read all the criticism of the original game. The sequel has become much more dynamic and brutal. And although there are still some rough edges, you want to return to it again and again.
Nioh 3 - the main soulslike of the year? Honest impressions of the demo
The demo version of Nioh 3 turned out to be generous with content. A full playthrough with exploration of locations and secret-hunting can easily take four to five hours. In that time, the game manages not only to introduce its core systems, but also to provide a clear idea of what the full release will be like.
Great Development That Everyone Suddenly Stopped Caring About. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Multiplayer Review
Although everyone and their mother is kicking Call of Duty these days, I don't want to pour dirt on Black Ops 7 at all. And not because we are lazy, but because it is an improved version of Black Ops 6 - which is what the fans demanded from the developers.
I Molded You from What Was There. A Review of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Campaign
The only thing the campaign in Black Ops 7 can be praised for is that it's slightly better than in Battlefield 6. But honestly, that's like praising an adult for knowing how to breathe.
The Real Little Nightmares Sequel. Reanimal Preview
As part of the Steam festival, Tarsier Studios released a short demo of their new project, Reanimal. We don't think they did it specifically against the backdrop of the Little Nightmares 3 release. It just happened that way. We're telling you for sure.
A Job According to Specifications That Might Appeal. A Review of Little Nightmares 3
It's evident that Supermassive Games attempted to create a game as close as possible to the first and second Little Nightmares, which were developed by Tarsier-the original creators of the series. It's a shame that it turned out to be just "close," rather than "better" or at least "on the same level." But at least they tried!
The best multiplayer experience in years. Battlefield 6 Review
Vince Zampella decided that Battlefield 6 was too good and could potentially humiliate Black Ops 7 - both in terms of sales and online presence. Therefore, he made sure that players would criticize the new shooter from the renowned maestro, even if it was just for the progression system... And for the bloom... And for the armored vehicles. But let's take it one step at a time, because despite the problems, it's still one of the best gaming experiences in 2025. And it seems like it has been for many years.
This is some kind of disgrace. Review of the terrible Battlefield 6 campaign
The multiplayer in Battlefield 6 is great, but the story campaign in the new shooter is just as bad. It can even be called disgusting - we don't intend to gloss over the rough edges.
Possibly the Freshest Take on the Genre in Years. What Makes the Valor Mortis Playtest Captivating
Presented at gamescom 2025 in Cologne in August, Valor Mortis immediately attracted the attention of fans of soulslikes and hardcore games. The project looks unusual, but still raises some questions. We will try to answer them in this material!
Sometimes It's Better to Shut Up, Randy! Borderlands 4 Scandalous Shooter Review
As funny as it may seem, Borderlands 4 is simultaneously one of the best and worst games of the year - at least until Gearbox gets a handle on optimization and forbids Randy Pitchford from sitting on Twitter.
The Art of Sand Surfing. A Review of the Meditative Adventure Sword of the Sea
Today, not everyone will remember, but back in 2012, the game Journey was released on the PlayStation 3 console. The game was quite short, but even in a couple of hours of acquaintance, it managed to show an incredibly beautiful world and tell a touching story (most of which the player had to come up with himself) about what happened to this world. So, Sword of the Sea does practically the same thing - only much better.
Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Can Already Be Buried. How Battlefield 6 Brought Back Our Favorite Series
Not so long ago, news spread that Activision was not at all afraid of Battlefield 6 and was confident in the success of Black Ops 7. The greedy company explained its position by saying that the Call of Duty series is "too big to fail." Those who have not played the Battlefield 6 beta gnashed their teeth at such arrogance, but those who did get to evaluate the new shooter from EA simply laughed.
To Correct and Overfulfill the "Five-Year Plan" in 4 Years. Review of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 - the Best Since Cold War
Against the backdrop of last year's hack job, which Activision called Modern Warfare 3 and tried to pass off as a full-fledged AAA game, Black Ops 6 looks advantageous! After all, there's a decent campaign, a dynamic multiplayer with fresh ideas, and an engaging zombie mode with its own storyline that continues the events of Cold War - it was there that we were hinted at the connection between the main campaign and "Zombies."
Not Worth Even Ten Dollars. Review of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered
The remaster of the second part of "The Last of Us" is a perfect proof that the gaming industry has already crossed the Rubicon - it will only get worse from here. Gamers, in many ways, are themselves to blame for what is happening - by voting with their wallets for remasters of games that are only 4 years old, they strengthen companies' confidence that users don't really need new games.
Almost Dark Souls. Lords of the Fallen Review
You want to love and praise Lords of the Fallen. But for every plus of the new project from Hexworks studio, you inevitably find a significant minus. Completely unexpected difficulty spikes, a modest set of opponents, terrible optimization and technical condition - all these problems prevent you from enjoying the game.
Deadly Boredom. Mortal Kombat 1 Review
NetherRealm decided to reboot the Mortal Kombat series, remaking the character arcs, inventing new characters for them, and revising their motivations. Rather, that was definitely in the plans, when in reality it turned out to be some kind of multiverse in the spirit of Marvel, where there are no stakes, it is impossible to empathize with the characters, and you can safely skip the storyline without losing absolutely anything.
Microsoft Quality. Redfall Review
Redfall is a clear indication that the gaming industry has hit rock bottom. The quality of the final product no longer depends on the studio behind it, and developers are more concerned with not offending minorities and adhering to the political agenda than with their reputation.
Masochists will be pleased. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Review
The main thing you need to know before visiting Wo Long. The game will sincerely hate you as much as you hate it for unjustified and unpredictable difficulty spikes. But this is a pleasant hatred, reminiscent of unhealthy relationships in a sadist-masochist couple - the harder he hits, the more he loves
Monster Hunter at home. Impression of Wild Hearts
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Since the announcement, players have been closely watching Wild Hearts. The authors did not hide the fact that the ideas were borrowed from Monster Hunter, but promised not a cheap copy, but a unique project inspired by the series of games from Capcom and with interesting ideas. They didn't lie, but only partially.
Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. One Year Later
For many, trying to acquire a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X in the past year has turned into a real high-level quest. The global semiconductor shortage prevents Sony and Microsoft from increasing production and meeting high demand. The situation is exacerbated by resellers who buy up consoles as soon as they appear on sale, only to immediately put them up for sale on marketplaces at exorbitant markups.
Better to go back to Cold War. Call of Duty: Vanguard Multiplayer Review
Vanguard's multiplayer mode is no different in quality from the single-player campaign - it's bad. The more time you spend in battles with other players, the stronger this opinion becomes.
Beautiful, expensive, familiar. Forza Horizon 5 Review
No matter how beautiful, bright, and fun Forza Horizon 5 is, the series can no longer hide the fact that it continues to spin its wheels. The fifth installment cannot and does not want to offer anything fundamentally new. And it doesn't need to.
We've been through this before. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Review
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart skillfully plays on the notes of a warm, pleasant feeling of nostalgia, making experienced players shed a tear and remember the time when AAA projects were made with soul, and not under the close supervision of the marketing department
Second Attempt. Necromunda: Hired Gun Review
The unimaginably rich in various details and features Warhammer 40,000 universe is not very lucky with game adaptations, and Necromunda: Hired Gun is a prime example. Even ardent fans of the "Fortieth Millennium" universe will not be able to turn a blind eye to its many shortcomings.
