Seven years after it was announced, Team Cherry's sequel arrives faster, meaner and bigger than the original, and mostly earns every one of those seven years.
9 / 10
Obsidian's satirical space RPG grows a genuinely excellent build system and a slow-motion gunfight worth building around, then hands the writing and the companions less attention than either deserved.
8.5 / 10
A mobile gacha game with the gacha surgically removed, rebuilt around a custom protagonist, a town you raise from ash, and a battle system that still rewards knowing exactly when to break something.
8 / 10
A survival MMO that actually earns its licence — stillsuits, spice addiction and sandworms all function as real systems — held back by an endgame that still leans too hard on forced PvP for players who came for the desert, not the fight.
7.5 / 10
A solo developer's take on RuneScape-style skilling, rebuilt as a multiplayer idle game with a real player-driven economy — and a cow theme it commits to with a straight face.
7.5 / 10
A genuinely promising return for a cult-favourite action RPG series, currently sold at full future price for a slice of content that doesn't yet match the ambition of its class system.
7 / 10
A nostalgic mobile spin on Ragnarok Online's class fantasy, undercut by the one thing an idle game can least afford to paywall — the automation itself.
