Pokémon Legends: Z-A
60
The city could do with work, but Pokémon Legends: Z-A is a much more tightly focused, delightfully goofy, return to better form. At least by modern standards.
Ghost of Yotei
Eurogamer
60
Sucker Punch's sequel offers more great combat, but would be better served as a linear action game, freed of its poor sidequests and dated open world.
Sword of the Sea
Eurogamer
100
Movement, meaning and mindfulness combine in Giant Squid's latest, a game of free-form expression and flow.
Despelote
Eurogamer
100
Despelote's creators tell a remarkable, pseudo-autobiographical tale about football and Ecuador - but also one about the act of remembering.
South of Midnight
Eurogamer
60
Poignant, symphonic and stupendously beautiful, South of Midnight is sorely let down by rote platforming and ill-thought-out combat.
Wanderstop
Eurogamer
60
Eurogamer's review of Wanderstop, a warm-hearted, funny, sincere, and deeply pleasant place to stay - but a less successful vehicle for mindfulness itself.
Marvel Rivals
Eurogamer
40
Eurogamer's review of Marvel Rivals, a perfectly functional but not hugely enjoyable team battler that stumbles when it comes to the finer details.
Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket: Space-Time Smackdown
80
While the invisible hand of compulsion and in-game spending lingers, Pokémon TCG Pocket benefits from smartly interwoven systems and a darn good card game.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
60
Reverting to typical Call of Duty, Black Ops 6's bombastic if predictable campaign is matched with snappy but one-speed multiplayer and over-engineered zombies.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
80
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's campaign is a return to form for the series, mixing the usual slightly unsavoury set dressing with cracking action and ironic charm.
EA Sports FC 25
Eurogamer
60
FC 25 is a new FC, with some genuine differences on- and off-pitch. It's also the exact same FC it's always been.
Neva: Prologue
Eurogamer
80
Nomada Studio follows up on the striking Gris with Neva, an effort that's poignant and precise, if maybe just a tad melodramatic.
Star Wars Outlaws: Deluxe Edition
40
Eurogamer's review of Star Wars Outlaws, a game which strips away a lot of Ubisoft open world clutter but in doing so, leaves too little left.
Harold Halibut
Eurogamer
60
Eurogamer's review of Harold Halibut, a visually arresting, warm-hearted tale of a gofer searching for his purpose that flounders amongst endless fet
Pacific Drive
Eurogamer
80
Eurogamer's review of Pacific Drive, a punishing, anxiety-inducing game with an oddly lovable loop.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
60
Eurogamer's review of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justic League, a game with brilliant elements but no real purpose.
A Highland Song
Eurogamer
80
Eurogamer's review of A Highland Song, a game in service of nature and experience.
Football Manager 2024
80
Eurogamer's review of FM24, where small changes make big impacts.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2
80
Eurogamer's review of Spider-Man 2, at once a simple but stylish and utterly charming sequel.
Starfield
Eurogamer
60
Eurogamer's review of Starfield, a game of typical Bethesda aptitude but without the magic that binds it all together.
