Latest review spotted on {feed_title} The stealth strategy genre lost one of its great studios two years ago when Mimimi Games, developers of Shadow Tactics, Desperados 3, and Shadow Gambit decided, after that string of absolute bangers, to call it a day. In lieu of a new Shadow game from the...

Latest review spotted on {feed_title} To properly encapsulate how I feel about Donkey Kong Bananza, you almost have to start at the finish. No spoilers here, obviously, but I have to say that I think this game has one of the finest finales of any Nintendo game ever. There's a delightful...

Latest review spotted on {feed_title} Comfort meals. Everyone has a go-to dish they eat when they just need a shot of nostalgia or the proverbial warm hug - a bowl of soup, say, or a nice big packet of crisps. Or a tough-as-nails action-RPG that'll have you lobbing threatening obscenities at...

Latest review spotted on {feed_title} Amongst its many riches, Wheel World is a reminder that a game can appear to be constructed from familiar pieces while still feeling entirely unfamiliar to play. Read more Read more: https://www.eurogamer.net/wheel-world-review

Latest review spotted on {feed_title} When I was small, my Dad would read to me before bed. One night I asked if he would re-read The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe only to be told he'd had enough of 'Jesus Lion.' Instead, he brought out a book with a dragon raging above a burning town on...

Latest review spotted on {feed_title} The Alters achieves something tense and new by merging strategy base-building with third-person exploration and a sci-fi story about cloning yourself. But repetition and complicated busywork mar the overall effect. Read more Read more...

Latest review spotted on {feed_title} More and more companies are making premium wireless headphones as of late, from established players such as Bowers & Wilkins and Focal (creators of the marvellous Bathys) to newer disruptors such as Noble Audio, the folks behind the Fokus Apollo set I...

Latest review spotted on {feed_title} At first blush, the Nacon Revolution X Unlimited might look like 'just' another pro-grade Xbox controller to rival Microsoft's oft-recommended Elite Series 2, but the inclusion of Hall Effect sticks, a screen and some unique PC features could help it...

Latest review spotted on {feed_title} A zany, knockabout co-op action adventure that's kaleidoscopically colourful but wears you out before you get to the good stuff. Read more Read more: https://www.eurogamer.net/revenge-of-the-savage-planet-review

Latest review spotted on {feed_title} A wondrous dreamlike world to explore in or out of VR, but a story that doesn't always hit as hard as you might want. Read more Read more: https://www.eurogamer.net/the-midnight-walk-review

Latest review spotted on {feed_title} Heard about the changes to Doom? They've gone medieval with it, sort of. Also, they've added bowling. Sort of. Read more Read more: https://www.eurogamer.net/doom-the-dark-ages-review

Latest review spotted on {feed_title} In Iceland, when the mists descend, perspective is scrambled. Robbed of context and references, the very small can be mistaken for the very large. A boulder becomes a mountain. A stream becomes a river. With a camera in hand, it's a pleasant task to...

Latest review spotted on {feed_title} Acclaimed point-and-click studio Wadjet Eye's gently paced, time-travelling genre-hopper blends elegant puzzling and intricate, affecting storytelling to beautiful effect. Read more Read more: https://www.eurogamer.net/old-skies-review

Latest review spotted on {feed_title} There's a conversation at the start of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 that stuck with me throughout. A pair of ex-lovers discuss why they split up: one wanted children, the other did not. It's the sort of human question that makes a fantasy story - no matter...

Latest review spotted on {feed_title} One of the loveliest books I've read in the last few years is J. L. Carr's short novel A Month in the Country. The book's about a lot of things - and I may have written about it before on Eurogamer - but, broadly, the novel concerns a veteran of the first...
