Culdcept the First (also attributed as Culdcept the First Saturn Tribute) is a very fun game, that does show its age. This is basically a re-issue of the 1997 Sega Saturn game that mashes together deckbuilding (think Magic: The Gathering) and boardgames (such as Monopoly).
With these annual seasonal renewals of the sports season comes the related video games as well, and the question reviewers such as myself always face is this: Is this year’s game worth purchasing one year after the last one? My answer? Yes, absolutely. NBA fans are going to almost certainly enjoy NBA 2K27.
Midnight Moments is a cozy cyberpunk diorama-building game that is stunning. Unlike games that require you to complete quests or take out assailants or even solve challenging puzzles, this one only requires one thing: imagination.
Isle of Reveries is a top down 2D action adventure game that made my nostalgia for old school Zelda games flare up really hard. A good blending of puzzle, exploration, and combat, Isle of Reveries is a wonderful title to experience inside and out.
Let me tell you about this cozy game my daughter and I are playing together called Outbound. Now, I've been following this game from the initial Kickstarter back in April 2025 to its full release in May 2026. The best Mother's Day gift for myself and my first ever collector's edition in a physical copy!
In OVER REQUIEMZ Yuhiru is thrown into the castle of Oz and is immediately accused of trying to assassinate the King and shoved into the dungeon. Not only is she treated like a criminal...
Today we’re looking at what has rapidly become an absolute favorite in the open-world RPG genre for me. An interesting story, memorable NPCs, stunning visuals, and a setting absolutely dripping with flavor, Dread Delusion sets its tone immediately and sticks with it.
...and I have been playing NHL games since. It didn't matter whether it was EA or another game like 2K in the 2000s; I loved hockey games and still do, but is NHL 27 a step in the right direction?

OXFORD
(Jan. 25, 2022) – Rebellion, one of the world’s most
successful independent studios, has today released a new CGI trailer for Sniper
Elite 5, the latest installment of the award-winning franchise, hinting at the
new Invasion Mode which allows players to drop into each other’s campaigns and
take on the role of an Axis Sniper with high rewards on the line. Created by
Rebellion’s dedicated production company Rebellion VFX, the new trailer
utilizes both in-game and bespoke VFX assets with a tailored audio mix to
create a stunning cinematic which can be watched here:
Rebellion has also today revealed the
pack and key art for Sniper Elite 5.
Invasion Mode will bring a whole new
dimension to the game’s intense drama and add increased diversity to the
tactics that players will have to employ in order to complete their mission.
The invading Axis Sniper will have the sole aim to eliminate the player while
the Allied Sniper will gain an extra objective: take out the invader. Invasion
Mode will also be available in cooperative play - increasing the challenge for
the Axis invader as they now have two Allies to track down but offering greater
rewards.
Chris Kingsley, CTO at Rebellion,
commented: “Invasion Mode is a fantastic addition to the gameplay experience of
Sniper Elite 5. A human-controlled invader can act in ways that are so diverse
and unpredictable, which adds to the challenge and ramps up the tension even
further. The player will be informed that an invading Axis Sniper has joined
their game and from that point on it becomes an extremely intense, high stakes
game of cat and mouse.”
Chris continued: “For those players who
just want a solo gameplay experience there will be the option to switch
Invasion Mode off, but we recommend that everyone gives it a try at some point.
We have been having a lot of fun with it in the studio, jumping into each
other’s games and finding innovative, stealthy ways to take each other out.”
Invasion Mode will enable some unique
skills for both players. The Axis invader can make use of the AI Axis forces to
help locate the Allied player. Tagging an Axis soldier will enable ‘Eagle
Eyes,’ which means that if that soldier spots the Allied Sniper then their last
known location will be displayed on the map. The Axis Sniper can also instruct
nearby soldiers to ‘Stay Sharp,’ increasing their awareness. For the Allied
Sniper, each level has invasion phones scattered around the map which the
player can use to discover the last known location of their opponent. But
beware, as not only can these phones be booby-trapped, but overuse will raise
suspicions and reveal the player’s location.
Successful Axis Snipers will be rewarded
with weapons, items, and skin unlocks while Allied Snipers can earn weapon and
character skins by killing their opponent. You will also be awarded with
additional XP for having Invasion Mode enabled.
Recognized for its unparalleled tactical
sniping experience, Sniper Elite 5 will release simultaneously on Xbox Game
Pass, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 & 5, Epic, Steam, and the
Windows Store in 2022. Players will reprise the role of elite marksman Karl
Fairburne as they travel to France in 1944 tasked with the mission to uncover
and destroy the Nazi’s latest plan: Operation Kraken.
The new CGI trailer was created by
Rebellion VFX. Based at Rebellion Film Studios in Didcot, Rebellion VFX has
been formed from industry-leading visual effects supervisors, artists and
developers. The team specializes in full CG environment builds, FX, Compositing,
Environment Set Extension and Virtual Production set builds with projects
utilizing both offline rendered and real-time rendered game engine methodology.
The on-site capability is further enhanced by Rebellion’s award-winning motion
capture and full performance capture facilities, Audiomotion.
He Sun, Head of Rebellion VFX, said: “It
has been a real pleasure for Rebellion VFX to be collaborating with the Sniper
Elite brand, to be involved in working on such a title was a real privilege. We
wanted to create a trailer that evoked a gritty and down-to-earth feeling in
its cinematography, as if it was shot with a film crew on a real location.
Technically, we relished the challenge of implementing USD (Universal Scene
Description) pipeline in our offline rendering workflow. It was an enjoyable
creative process which will hopefully be enjoyed by our passionate community of
Sniper Elite fans too.”
Founded in 1992, Rebellion is one of
world’s most successful independent studios. Its flagship Sniper Elite series
is renowned for its authentic stealth and sniping gameplay with more than 20
million players worldwide. 2000 AD is synonymous with the absolute finest in
British comic book art. With the acquisition of a $100m film studio and the
world’s largest archive of English language comics, Rebellion continues to grow
from strength to strength.
Rebellion now operates across books,
comics, TV, and film, but at its core it’s still a leading developer and
publisher of games. Whether it’s the breathtaking intensity of Sniper Elite 4,
the face-hugging terror of Aliens vs. Predator or the grindhouse frenzy of the
Zombie Army series, the Oxford-based studio is revered for creating stand-out
games designed to thrill.
