What do you call Batman after a scuffle? Bruised Wayne. And that’s pretty much what unfortunate Brucey is set to look like in Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight—except instead of ending up with a gory aftermath, you’ll be dealing with far more bricks and studs than you’d see in a typical street brawl. … Read more
“I’m looking for meals that won’t upset my stomach, and for walls that can actually stand up to the wind. I want a full, satisfying life.” Edward Kenway’s slide into piracy isn’t driven by daydreams of enormous wealth or a craving for fame.

Call of Duty is urgently chasing the kind of success it needs. Black Ops 7 was the high point of mounting frustration with the familiar formula. It didn’t deliver that satisfying punch, among other shortcomings. Many players felt let down, particularly when set beside earlier releases.

The makers of FTL and Into the Breach have cooked up yet another sharp, tightly tuned experience—and this time it leans hard into that classic arcade vibe. Until now, Subset Games has released two games, and both stand out in their own way. While “perfection” isn’t something art can really promise, these titles are undeniably … Read more
That’s the most thrilling kind of instant—the rollout of an entirely new wave of hardware. It’s gaming Christmas. For me as a reviewer, it marks the start of a long-loved ritual: getting to grips with brand-new tech, putting it through its paces, and then letting you—our great readers—know whether this fresh device is actually worth … Read more
Every so often, Welcome Tour feels like Nintendo’s Fantasia. Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour costs £7.99, and for a while it can seem like you’ve paid someone to parade their carefully curated collection of 5K achievement trinkets.
