Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course is not just more Cuphead, it’s some of the best Cuphead. The six new bosses, on top of a handful of minibosses, new weapons, and new charms are more than enough to recommend this DLC as nearly essential for any big Cuphead fan.

Check out our review for DNF Duel, the new fighter from Arc System Works based on Dungeon Fighter Online! For this DNF Duel review, we played the game mainly on PC, and a little bit on PlayStation. We go over how we feel about the characters (Dragon Knight, Ranger, Swift Master, Enchantress, Launcher, Vanguard, etc.),

Outriders Worldslayer reviewed by Travis Northup on PC, also available on PlayStation and Xbox. Outriders Worldslayer is an enjoyable but unambitious expansion that improves the endgame while falling short in many of the same areas as the base game before it. The story is still pretty lackluster, most boss fights are irritating slogs, and even

Reviewed by Cam Shea on iOS with iPad Gen 9 (2021). Also available on Android and PC. “There’s a lot to like about Diablo Immortal but it’s still not a game I can heartily recommend. As a casual, purely free-to-play experience it offers dozens of hours of empowering ARPG combat built around an interesting skill

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes reviewed on Nintendo Switch by Alex Santa Maria. You generally know what you’re getting into when you boot up any Omega Force games, but Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes includes pleasant surprises.

Check out our Capcom Fighting Collection Review to see if it’s a Sonic Boom of Sonic Bust! In this new fighting collection, ten games ranging from Street Fighter II all the way to versions of Vampire Savior (Darkstalkers 3) never before released outside of Japan come together with modern trappings such as rollback netcode and

Starship Troopers: Terran Command reviewed by Leana Hafer on PC. Starship Troopers: Terran Command has the exoskeleton of a strong RTS with some unique, asymmetrical, positioning-focused warfare. There are just a handful of hitches that keep it from being really great. A campaign that takes too long to become challenging, some frustratingly bad pathfinding and

The TMNT are back in this blast from the past arcade beat-em-up from Tribute Games and Dotemu. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is lovingly reverent to the arcade games that inspired it, and is a prime example of how to breathe new life into a age-old genre. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge Review

V Rising reviewed by Leana Hafer on PC. While its time-consuming crafting aspects can take the bite out of the vampire fantasy, V Rising really does rise to the occasion with its excellent boss design and respectable ARPG combat. #IGN #VRising

Battle League reviewed by Travis Northup on Nintendo Switch. Mario Strikers: Battle League is part skillful soccer game, part ruthless brawler, and almost always a complete blast to play. If you’ve played any games in the series before, there won’t be many surprises in store for you and the small roster of characters and game

The Quarry reviewed by Thomas Wilde on PC, also available on PlayStation and Xbox Series X|S. The Quarry is worth playing at least once, but when compared to Until Dawn, it’s one step forward and one step back. It features a solid script performed by a great cast, with a slow-burn story that you can

Diablo Immortal review in progress by Cam Shea, on iOS with iPad Gen 9 (2021). “I’ve only just started on my Diablo Immortal journey, but I like what I’ve played so far. The combat feels potent and weighty, with plenty of skill options for building out rounded and fun combat approaches. The story moves along

V Rising Early Access review in progress by Leana Hafer, on PC.

Kao the Kangaroo reviewed by Henry Stockdale on PC, also available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch. Kao the Kangaroo is a nostalgic 3D platformer that makes no secret of its inspirations. It doesn’t try too hard to be gimmicky, packing a colourful aesthetic and light-hearted humor to carry it through the parts where it feels

Arma Reforger Early Access reviewed by Luke Winkie on PC. Also available on Xbox. Narration by Mark Medina. Arma Reforger is a promising evolution of the Arma formula, and it and the eventual Arma 4 have a chance to be special. On a massive island map, powered by the gorgeous Enfusion Engine, you’ll have the

Reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on Xbox Series X. Also available on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. “Despite its numerous tweaks Sniper Elite 5 ultimately feels like more of an incremental upgrade than a major revolution, keeping it a half-pace ahead of Sniper Elite 4 rather than taking a big goose-step forward for the series.
