Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, January 26, 2026 5:52 PM  Sega have gotten just a little bit too good at making Sonic games. Not good as in 10/10 masterpieces, good as in competent, as in mostly jank free, and where there is jank it's the annoying, not very funny kind. I like it when the blue hedgehog is impossible to control in Sonic Adventure 2 actually! But look, when I go on to tell you about a game that captures that same unruly spirit of Sega's early 3D games, please ignore that Christmas was a month ago because SantaCorps 4 is a 3D platformer that really does have the messy, gloopy sauce. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, January 26, 2026 4:32 PM  It is inevitable that when a game like Balatro rocks up, is really good, and makes a gazillion dollars, that there will be the odd imitator here and there. Sincerity, flattery, yada, yada, yada, point is, it's all fine as long as you at least put enough of a twist in there to make it more of an "influenced by" over a "wholesale ripoff" kind of thing. I think Gambonanza, a roguelike deckbuilding chess game, fits into the former quite nicely. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, January 26, 2026 1:42 PM  Good, bad, I don't bloody know yet the thing's only been about for five seconds, but we can certainly say one thing now: Highguard is out. Now we can sit and prepare ourselves for more inane and pointless discourse about yet another live service shooter that we've probably had several times before. Hooray! But before we get ahead of ourselves, a moment of reflection, courtesy of the devs behind Highguard itself, who have spoken out about all that silence following their Geoffies reveal. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, January 26, 2026 1:08 PM  Hear ye, hear ye! Embark have shared some more concrete details for Arc Raider's next main update, Headwinds, which is set to be downloaded onto your platform of choice tomorrow, January 7th. Namely, just what that new matchmaking option is, which is, as it seems, one that won't be for everyone. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, January 26, 2026 1:00 PM  Created by former developers of Apex Legends and Titanfall, Highguard was the final game announced during December 2025's Keighley Awards. It's a free-to-play, guns & sorcery, PvP raid shooter in which magic cowboys in capes vie for control of an uncharted continent. It's got temples, airships, rideable panthers, fireballs, frost giants, and enchanted siege engines on caterpillar tracks. It's also out now on Steam. That was quick. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, January 26, 2026 12:43 PM  When you were making plant pots in RuneScape and selling them to other players, you might not have thought you were laying the groundwork for a UK legal precedent that would define in-game gold as intangible property covered by the Theft Act 1968, but, well, here we are. Lord Justice Popplewell has ruled on appeal that RuneScape's gold pieces are legal property, which is important for the ex-Jagex developer accused of stealing 705 billion of them. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, January 26, 2026 12:22 PM  Today I became aware of Bolt Action, a historical strategy sim based on the World War II tabletop miniatures game from Warlord Games (founded by erstwhile Games Workshop staffers John Stallard and Paul Sawyer). It sees you fretting over questions of morale, line-of-sight and cover, while leading US, British or German armies across maps that range from beaches to churchyards. There's multiplayer, too. Trailer ho! |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, January 26, 2026 12:01 PM  Against the overbearing weight of modernity, Old School RuneScape continues to complete a Sisyphean task of simply existing two and a half decades after it originally launched.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Monday, January 26, 2026 11:30 AM  I like Hytale. I like how it plays smoother and weightier than Minecraft, while matching the explorative highs of creeping through an infested cave or stumbling upon some ancient, unplundered ruin. I like how it runs on the Steam Deck without trying to. And I like the pace at which it's being updated: one substantial patch per week, at the current rate. You could argue, fairly, that regular content injections are vital for an early access game that's accessible as early as Hytale is. Likeable or not, its sense of purpose is currently driven entirely by the primate-brain desire to ascend through rare mineral tiers and upgrade workbenches, with the promised RPG-style adventure mode a distant prospect at best. I don't mind waiting, or even playing, in the meantime – the most interesting thing about a game is rarely its state of completion. I just wish the unfinishedness wasn't proclaimed quite so loudly, by an arsenal of cheerily ironic Work In Progress signs, inside Hytale itself. |
