Combolands review: the citybuilder that wants you to break it
Combolands · Crux Games
Crux Games' A$13.95 roguelike has you place one building a week on a tiny island and chain the scoring until the population number runs away. Seven guilds played two at a time keep the runs fresh for a long while. It's too easy at the top ranks and it isn't much of a citybuilder, and it's still an 8.

Transport Fever 3 review: the year is 1900 and my depot was built in 2020
Transport Fever 3 · Paradox Interactive
Urban Games' third Transport Fever looks gorgeous, plays better than Transport Fever 2 and has an eight-mission campaign good enough to carry the score. It also drops the 1850 start, and its depots and industries look modern in every decade. As it stands in launch week, it's a 7.5.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered review: still a 10, clumsy sword and all
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered · CD Projekt
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered is CD Projekt Red's 2015 RPG with a free September 2026 update on top, which adds a new skill tree, better movement and both expansions. It's still the game I measure the genre against. Combat is still the weak part and the PC launch has been rough on AMD cards. It's a 10 for the writing.

Captain of Industry review: the factory game that can run out of diesel
Captain of Industry · MaFi Games
MaFi Games' island factory sim makes you dig your own mines, feed a town and keep every machine maintained, and it punishes a shortage harder than Factorio or Satisfactory do. The terrain and logistics are excellent. The opening hours and the late game are rough, and it's still in early access after four years.

Graveyard Keeper 2 review: I have bronze nails and no idea why
Graveyard Keeper 2 · tinyBuild
Lazy Bear Games answered the first Graveyard Keeper's biggest complaints with zombie automation in the base game and tech points that don't run dry. It is still a grind. It is also a game where you start a workbench, pick a mushroom, take a quest and find bronze nails in your backpack with no idea why, and it's a 9.

Lost Judgment review: a better game wrapped around a messier case
Lost Judgment · SEGA
RGG Studio's sequel moves Yagami to Yokohama and into a high school, on a case about bullying that asks harder questions than the first game. The combat and side content are a clear step up. The story takes too long to make its point, and the stealth sections barely count as play.

GTA 6's Gameplay Reveal Goes to Netflix First, and the Six Hour Wait Is the Product
Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look premieres on Netflix on 27 August, six hours before it reaches Rockstar's own channels for free. Nobody is being charged to watch a trailer, which is precisely what makes the arrangement worth arguing about.

Graveyard Keeper 2 Preview, What the Sequel Adds to the Cemetery Sim
Steam still says nothing more precise than 2026, but Graveyard Keeper 2 has screenshots now. Undead workers staff the benches, a defence layer guards the town, and the automation loop is doing the heavy lifting the original made you do on foot.
