Samson review – Highly concentrated yet disappointing criminality
The open-world criminal action game feels a bit like a thing of the past in 2026.

RPS Verdict: In its best moments, Samson is like a goon-battering GTA 4 roleplay mod, but in its worst it's horribly broken
While Rockstar continue to delay GTA 6, there's at least one developer out there with the guts to release their open-world crime 'em up. In Samson you slip into the well-worn getaway driver shoes of the eponymous hero as he takes illicit jobs to earn off a debt to the crime family holding his sister

Samson hands-on impressions: a boring, bland, and broken GTA clone
Samson is a much-smaller scale GTA clone but unfortunately, it's a terrible time on all fronts, from the broken combat to the boring story.

No Man's Sky's journey to becoming every game proceeds apace.

Pokemon battles with space cows, dinosaurs and gaseous blobs are the premise of No Man's Sky's latest update, dubbed Xeno Arena
Ooh, it hasn't got a Pokemon-style mode that lets you collect a bunch of alien critters and force them to fight to the death in a fashion that might be deemed barbaric if it wasn't so bloodless and cutesy.

I am in love with Forza Horizon 6's Nissan Silvia
Forza Horizon 6 has learned at least one neat trick from Ridge Racer. It's learned that for a certain kind of racing game, something that's dreamy yet exactingly arcadey by turn, it's quite nice to ghost around a corner every now and then and find something dramatic happening overhead. In Ridge Race

Xbox’s new era needs games like Forza Horizon 6
It's a weird time at Xbox. Microsoft's gaming division is under new management, with its current leadership intent on what it describes as "a renewed commitment to Xbox."

Why hasn't Warhammer 40k Armageddon revealed a must-have mini yet?
By most metrics, the four miniatures revealed so far for Armageddon, the Warhammer 40k 11th edition launch box set, are really very solid. Judged against the mainstay of Games Workshop's range, the two Orks and two Intercessors we've seen so far are perfectly solid. But they're not being judged agai
