Rescuing Teensies, dodging nightmares, and running through castles to the beat of the music. We revisit Rayman Legends to see whether this platforming masterpiece truly earns its place among gaming's greats...

Following Dear Esther, we stay in walking-sim territory with What Remains of Edith Finch, a game of memories, loss, and imagination. Is it the genre’s masterpiece, or just another melancholy stroll?
Minimal gameplay, maximum atmosphere. We step onto a desolate Hebridean island to see if Dear Esther is a haunting masterpiece - or an overrated stroll.
Welcome back to Racoon City, with Resident Evil 2. CapCom brought back one of survival horror’s crown jewels with a fresh coat of paint. But does Leon and Claire’s nightmare still terrify - or is this remake more nostalg
Ding Dong.... The 90s served us a wisecracking gecko in sunglasses—because of course they did. But is Enter the Gecko a hidden gem or just channel-surfing nonsense?
