  For almost two decades, I've played more creature-collecting games than I can count. With a love started by Pokemon, I can almost always find something to enjoy in an RPG that lets me loose on a world full of fun monsters to befriend, and I can confidently say that after an hour with Honkai: Nexus Anima, these are some of my favorite creature designs I've ever encountered – I only wish its battle style didn't leave me with so many reservations.I'll admit that I'm easily charmed when it com

  22-09-2026 13:39 via gamesradar.com

• Dammit, these new Warhammer Mordor Orc models are reeling me back into the Lord of the Rings wargame again

  22-09-2026 13:08 via gamesradar.com
  
  Warhammer has a bad habit of making me want to drop everything and grab its shiny new models, and the revamped Mordor Orcs make me want to dig out my old collection of minis for Lord of the Rings (or Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game, to give its full legal name).Even though they missed the Big Autumn Warhammer Preview last week, don't think these Mordor Orcs have been shoved under the rug because they're not up to snuff; they look phenomenal. As someone who only truly got into Warhammer thanks

• Final Fantasy 7 Revelation has more "on-screen guidance" to stop players feeling lost, but Square Enix is already "considering options" for those who hate hand-holding, lead says

  22-09-2026 12:56 via gamesradar.com
  
  You can expect Final Fantasy 7 Revelation to be a big game. It's the trilogy closer, and that means there'll be plenty of side quests and a lot of exploring to do. In lieu of this, there'll be some extra guidance for players who'd rather just get from A-to-B without much hassle – but Square Enix knows not everyone may be interested in these features if they're in it for the journey.Director Naoki Hamaguchi explains the balance of these ideals on Twitter.

• "It was a bit of a ‘nothing stops this train’ moment" - The Neo Geo AES+ almost didn't happen thanks to AI, but a chip workaround saved the day

  22-09-2026 12:08 via gamesradar.com
  
  The Neo Geo AES+, a remake of SNK's '90s home arcade console, is currently delayed until September 2027, but it almost didn't happen at all. While you'd be forgiven for thinking AI data centre demand exclusively ties to GPUs, RAM, and high-spec components, it's also hogging up the very flash chips the system will rely on, and creators Plaion say the project was "almost dead." In a conversation with VGC, Plaion's hardware & software director Ben Jones dives into the AI-driven predicament that

• Nighthawks is a vampire RPG that delivers what Bloodlines 2 failed to accomplish in its first 5 minutes

  Nighthawks is exactly what I wanted Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 to feel like. Not in terms of its format as a text-based RPG (the excellent VTM visual novels can hold their own), but in the depth, character, and intrigue of its vamp noir dystopia. I start off my journey as a fledgling vampire, hunting for my sire's vassal – a servant, bound in blood to their Master – on the grimy streets of Cradlebridge. Blood junkies, thralls, and the great lost masses haunt the glo

  To open the Silent Hill Townfall organ box you'll need to first get the electricity running, and then use the computer to read an email to find the information you need for the code. It's not a hard puzzle but it does involves a few varied steps that can be easy to forget are connected, and it takes little longer than you might expect as a result.Crucially, when I did this puzzle a second time in NG+ it wouldn't let me just use the combination, I had to go through the steps to get it.Silent Hill

  When it comes to how long Silent Hill Townfall is, it all depends on how brave you are, because the length of the game directly relates to how prepared you are to come out of hiding. Stealth plays a big part of the game and probably the biggest factor in how long it takes to complete will be how quickly you can sneak past the various monsters along the way. Having finished it and made a good start on an NG+, I can tell you how long it took me and how it looks generally for completion.Silent Hill
