    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    "Find the Fremen, wake the Sleeper". You probably don't remember that from either Frank Herbert's original Dune novels or Denis Villeneuve's films, but it's the starting impulse for this survival focused MMO, set in a timeline where Paul Atreides was never born. Wait – didn’t we do this before?

    Control Resonant is 'a brilliant slice of high concept sci-fi gaming' — Read Empire's review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The first Control game, released in 2019, was a work of unhinged genius, taking a set-up that was broadly “X-Files meets Twin Peaks meets unknowable cosmic horror” and mixing it with exquisite action and Metroidvania-style exploration. It also – subtly at first, then with an explicitly connected expansion – built a shared universe with developer Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake games, framing the horrific events there as merely one of countless bizarre cases investigated by the Federal Bureau of

    Onimusha: Way of the Sword offers 'delivers smooth, precise combat' — Read Empire's review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, PC It’s been a long, long time since we saw a new Onimusha game. Capcom’s samurai-themed action-horror series flared into life back on the PS2 a full quarter century ago, debuting with Onimusha: Warlords in 2001. It enjoyed enough popularity to fuel a half-dozen sequels and spinoffs by 2006, but then… nothing.

    Star Wars Zero Company is a 'solid if not quite spectacular' tactics game — Read Empire's review (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Set during Star Wars’ Clone Wars period, Zero Company sidesteps the era’s endless brawls between Troopers and Droids to reveal a new threat: the Infinite Coil, a dangerous cult spreading a terrifying plague across the galaxy. The only ones capable of stopping them? A rag-tag crew of plucky mercenaries, of course. Led by Hawks – a customisable avatar who can be male or female, and from one of six species, including Ahsoka's head-tentacled Togruta and Darth Maul’s Zabrak – the eponymous Zero Compa
