Ed (RPS in peace) has, finally, posthumously, got his wish: another Screamer. This one’s gone all cyberpunk and/or anime-styled, with a heavy focus on story – it follows multiple, multinational merc-drivers entering a lightly murderous racing tournament – but can it still deliver on drifty driving thrills? After much practice, Mark and James both avoided clattering into the track barriers long enough to find out.

How do you get Valorant Twitch drops? It’s not often we get gifted Valorant Twitch drops by Riot, but a big event comes around once in a while that spurs the team into giving away a few in-game treats. With VCT 2026 here, it’s time to keep an eye out for more Valorant Twitch drops. We’re sure you’re tuning into the action anyway, so you may as well earn something while you’re at it when drop campaigns do crop up. You won’t find Valorant skins on offer here, but Riot does come up with the goods in the cosmetics department…

Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy. Looking back recently, I realised that I have now been strumming away on guitar controllers for the best part of two decades, which explains why the genre holds such a special place in my heart. Back in the summer of 2006, I received the recently released (in Europe) Guitar Hero for my birthday, complete with miniature Gibson SG controller, and gaming has never been the same since. In the years…

The Sunday Papers is our weekly roundup of great writing about (mostly) videogames from across the web. Sundays are for waking up in a Holiday Inn and finding that the breakfast buffet hash browns are glued to the bottom of the serving pan. Tarnation! I bellow like an enraged thunder god, like Vesuvius at full bloom, and stab the tray wildly with my knife and fork. I am dragged away by heavyset teenagers, who are about to heave me into the canal when I protest that I haven’t yet finished writing the weekly Sunday Papers article for prominent videogame website…

I’m a sucker for action roguelikes in general, but particularly those that have followed in the footsteps of Hades. Like Supergiant’s foundational Greek epic, which has sucked about 200 hours out of me, many of them are designed to be games you just keep coming back to. After all, isn’t that the roguelike mantra – the promise of near-endless replayability? Yet one of my favorites in recent memory, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die, was over remarkably quickly, especially given the veritable buffet of systems it brings to the party. Rather than being a complaint, however, it’s exactly why it…

A modder has done what Capcom hasn’t and created a VR mode for Resident Evil Requiem, and despite not being ready yet, it looks as good as any official version.Resident Evil Requiem continues the tradition of the latest trilogy in the series: it’s extremely scary. Resident Evil 7 is probably the most intense game in the series to date, while Village had the only part in the entire series to genuinely disturb me in a way that lingered with me instead of an ‘oh no something’s going to get me’ or ‘ahhh you got me’ way. Requiem goes into the…

Alan Wake makers (Wakers?) Remedy have delivered FBC: Firebreak’s final major update, having previously elected to wind down development of the struggling Control-themed shooter. This swansong for the game delivers some new maps inspired by the original Control, and a Friend’s Pass that lets you invite a mate to play with you via a free version of Firebreak. Handy for keeping sessions decently stocked, since Remedy have made sure the shooter’ll remain “playable for years to come”.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Runescape Dragonwilds when it first launched into early access last year. Yes, it was rough around the edges, but I could already feel the RS vibes coming through strongly in Ashenfall. Fast forward to now, developer-publisher Jagex has been hard at work pumping out regular content drops, including December’s chunky Fellhollow update. Today, the studio has revealed its next new region, Dowdun Reach, and if you haven’t gone toe-to-toe with Black Knights in a hot minute, you might want to dust off your scimitar. Runescape Dragonwilds Dowdun Reach is set to bring us to…

Crimson Desert’s Abyss Without Balance quest is one of the first times you’ll enter the titular Abyss, a heavenly region in the sky where Kliff has to make this way through. This all comes after the Crimson Desert Hernand Castle sequence where you access it through the Alchemist’s Chamber, and is a mix of puzzles and platforming wherein players have to navigate their way through, with one of the trickiest elements being the Polar Opposites puzzle. I’ll explain how it works in our guide below, and what you need to do to progress though the Skybridge.How to solve the Polar…

I was five minutes into the excavation of my very first, procedurally generated Lucid Blocks map when I struck Dogblock, Catblock and S’more, in that order. I didn’t excavate them, actually. I conjured them by feeding gobbets of occult, dreamlike material into the “Apotheosis” magic circle that is possibly this sort-of-survival game’s crafting screen, and possibly a gateway to some astral sphere.
