Play this tonight

Tekken 8

Tekken 8 at $24 is the deepest 3D fighter going, even with a player base that scores it far below critics.

007 First Light

IO Interactive nails Bond's origin with a stealth-combat blend that earns the 00 status — skip if you hate Hitman's patience.

  • Updated 20d ago

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

Shivering Isles and the Daedric questlines hold up 20 years on — but a stutter-riddled UE5 port and a year of dev silence make this one to wait for on sale.

  • Updated 20d ago

Split Fiction

A fresh mechanic every ten minutes and a sci-fi/fantasy split worth two playthroughs — the best co-op game Hazelight has made, but there's no solo mode at all.

  • Updated 20d ago

Monster Hunter Wilds

Seamless zone-to-zone hunting and the Seikret beat World's moment-to-moment — but a thin roster and AMD crashes mean you should wait for a sale.

  • Updated 20d ago

Mina the Hollower

Mina's burrow-and-whip combat dethrones its Game Boy inspirations — essential for retro action fans.

  • Updated 20d ago

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

The quest writing and side characters are why people replay it at 500 hours — it deserves the medieval-RPG crown, if you can live with save limits and slow travel.

  • Updated 20d ago

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Hornet's pogo-and-dash silk kit moves better than the original's, and 40 hours at $20 is absurd value — unless you bounce off punishing boss timing.

  • Updated 20d ago

Ghost of Yotei

A bigger, blunter sequel — combat nails the first game's feel, but the story fumbles momentum. Fans of Tsushima won't regret it.
