Elden Ring is considered FromSoftware’s magnum opus for a reason. It’s one of the best open world RPGs ever made, complete with top-of-the-line soulslike combat, gripping lore, and terrifyingly gorgeous visuals. Here’s my full review and verdict.
Call of the Elder Gods is out from May 12 on all major platforms (I played it on PS5). Developed by Out of the Blue Games and published by Kwalee, it’s a Lovecraftian adventure light on horror and heavy on fantastic puzzles. I really enjoyed it…with a few caveats. Great (Old Ones) Expectations Is there …
Project: Mist enters Early Access on May 19, after already amassing over 180,000 wishlists on Steam. It’s developed and published by Chicken Launcher, a small Polish studio with a few well-received titles already under its belt (Pan’orama, No Place Like Home).

It’s developed by two-man studio Cyberwave, published by rokaplay, and it managed to make quite a splash in the lead-up to its release. It’s a cosy survival/crafting sandbox but one that’s hindered by counterintuitive game design. …
GRIDbeat! is the second original title from Ridiculous Games and part of the starting roster from resurrected publisher Acclaim. It’s a rhythm action game with a neon 90s aesthetic and pounding synthwave score, plus a decent variety of enemies and tricks up its digital sleeve. It’s also punishingly hard. It’s available now on Nintendo Switch …
Why I oughta…! MOUSE: P.I. for Hire is a cartoon noir FPS stuffed with so many cheese puns it’ll make you lactose intolerant. Developed by Fumi Games and published by PlaySide, it’s out now on all major platforms (I played it on PC). It’s got moxie, but is that enough to warrant hiring this rodent …
