Hands On The Expanse's PS5 RPG Has Serious Potential, But Its Protagonist Is a Big Problem
Ass Effect
I've played a small chunk of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn on PS5 thanks to the game's closed beta demo, and one thing's already clear: this sci-fi RPG has loads of potential. For those totally out of the loop, Osiris Reborn is based on The Expanse — a series of novels, and a subsequent TV show, both of which are widely lauded by genre...

News Warhammer RPG Rogue Trader Completes 1 Million Transactions
Profit factor
Having dumped several dozen additional hours since our initial review (which, on reflection, seems harsh now but was reflective of our opinion at launch), we're pretty confident in saying that Owlcat's depiction of the Warhammer 40,000 universe in Rogue Trader is just completely unrivalled. However, a wordy, turn-based CRPG was never...

Abelard's been working extra hard
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader has received a surprisingly large patch ahead of the Christmas break; we'd expect something like this to accompany an expansion, and at least one DLC offering is still on the way.

News Tyranid Genestealers Detected in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Expansion Void Shadows
Suffer not the xenos, the mutant, or the heretic to live
Released in any year other than 2023, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader would have been the CRPG to beat; content-rich and masterfully written, it was unfortunately let down by an abundance of bugs and technical issues at launch. We can confirm first-hand that the game is in a much better place...
