Crimson Moon has been available since September 1 and it offers a sort of cooperative blend between Soulslike games and the Darksiders series, particularly in terms of its art style for the latter. The game also incorporates mechanics that are clearly reminiscent of roguelikes, with equipment that can only be used during the current mission, and equally temporary upgrades—three to choose from at each major milestone as you progress through a district. Mechanically, it all works well, but we had a really hard time getting the hang of the parry timing, which seems to be inspired by that of the first Dark Souls. Since some enemies can’t seem to be interrupted by our attacks, beating them can be tricky, unless you spend your time rolling and settling for just one hit at a time. So the difficulty level is pretty high when you first start out because the goal is to kill all the enemies that are present. That said, leveling up when you return to the HUB (where, among other things, the blacksmith is located) lets you come back a little stronger and make a bit more progress than last time. For €/$19.99, it does not seem to be a bad deal, but so far it’s received a very mixed reception on Steam.

State of Play returns Thursday, September 3 with two broadcasts airing back-to-back. First, tune in for a new State of Play featuring updates and announcements and a new episode of State of Play Japan.

A new review on Gamersyde, Marsupilami 2 - Salsa Palombia is meant to appeal to both young players and their nostalgic parents, and the result is pretty convincing overall, especially considering the very reasonable price of €/$29.99.

Just five days after our review of Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, we’re back in action to give you our full take on Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Originally scheduled for September 25, Capcom’s game has been moved up slightly and will be available as early as September 4 on Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PS5, and Xbox Series. Needless to say, the end of August was a hectic time as we worked to meet the deadline and bring you another review.

Available since yesterday on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC, the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 lets you experience Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear: Ghost Babel as bonus content. Here’s our extended gameplay video recorded on PlayStation 5 Pro.

Following its release on Netflix, a extended look of Grand Theft Auto VI is now available on YouTube. This preview of the game consists exclusively of footage from the PlayStation 5 version

With a slight delay, you can watch here a few trailers that were shown yesterday during the Gamescom 2026 Opening Night Live.

With the end of August already signaling a flurry of activity for our talented team of writers, expect some articles and a few videos in the coming days. Given the lineup announced for September, we promise to do our best to cover as many releases as possible—within our means and depending on what the various publishers send us, of course. We're kicking off our reviews for the start of the 2026 school year with Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, the new game from Asobo Studio published by Focus Entertainment. Enjoy the read and the videos!

After a first installment that was intended as a love letter to the 8-bit era and Wonder Boy, Aggelos 2 takes a look at the 16-bit consoles—SEGA’s Mega Drive and the Super Nintendo. Once again, it’s a French production, as François Perez is still behind this sequel. The result is very solid but remains challenging, with respawn points that are fairly far apart, enemies that reappear every time you return to a screen you’ve already cleared, and a map that’s still just as hard to read—even though you can mark the areas you’ve explored. Still, this new Metroidvania has heart and rewards (non-linear) exploration by providing new tools to help you progress, such as weapons, wings, or a grappling hook, for example. While the game remains challenging in some respects, it wisely avoids punishing the player by choosing not to strip away items collected since the last save point upon death, and the map you’ve uncovered remains so when you die as well. The inclusion of two distinct maps—the Kingdom of Lumen and the World of Darkness—is also a great touch for the genre, as it forces you to switch between the two realms. In the same vein, the hero has two forms (angelic and demonic), which grant access to distinct attacks and enable a switch system for absorbing enemy projectiles, as in Housemarque’s Outland or, of course, Treasure’s Ikaruga. Enough chatter—we'll let you experience the first twenty-one minutes of the adventure on PC for yourself.

Developed by Adglobe and published by NIS America, Brigandine Abyss is a turn-based tactical RPG that will face stiff competition from the upcoming release of Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. Here are the first 50 minutes of the game on Nintendo Switch 2.
