Deadzone: Rogue review (Xbox)

Deadzone: Rogue begins with a familiar sci-fi premise – you awaken alone aboard the derelict ISS-X with no memory of how you arrived, immediately thrown into an escalating battle for survival against swarms of mechanical foes. This opening sets the stage for a narrative that, while intriguing at first, ultimately takes a back seat to the game’s relentless action. The sparse environmental storytelling and data logs peppered through the ship provide context, but the story never evolves into a deeply engaging arc; it is functional, atmospheric, and suitable for a roguelite, but not the emotional anchor some players may hope for.

DLC roundup: Jurassic World Evolution 3, Planet Coaster 2, Firefighting Simulator Ignite & Wartales

This roundup gathers four recent DLC releases that each extend their respective base games in markedly different directions, from atmospheric world-building and creative sandbox expansion to focused narrative tension and mechanical experimentation. Across park builders, simulations, and tactical RPGs, these add-ons aim to refine established systems rather than reinvent them, offering targeted injections of theme, challenge, or storytelling for existing players. Whether it is wetlands bringing new behavioural nuance to dinosaur exhibits, toy-themed creativity reshaping a theme park sandbox, character-driven pressure testing a firefighting sim, or a cursed forest pushing an RPG into darker territory, these DLCs highlight how incremental content can meaningfully reshape familiar experiences.

Aaero2 – Black Razor Edition review (PS5)

Aaero2: Black Razor Edition arrives on PlayStation 5 as a version that amplifies everything fans appreciated in Aaero2 while framing it with fresh music and content tailored around wired energy and rhythmic intensity.

Deadly Delivery review (Quest)

From its opening moments in a brightly lit goblin delivery office to the pitch-black corridors of its haunted mine networks, Deadly Delivery aims to fuse cooperative chaos with genuine VR interactivity. Flat Head Studio has designed a game that places you squarely in the role of an underpaid goblin courier, tasked with hauling parcels through procedurally generated tunnels teeming with peril – and with friends at your side, this simple premise sprouts into something far richer and more memorable. This is a title that wears its mixture of horror and slapstick comedy on its sleeve, not shying away from absurdity even as it delivers palpable tension.
