Honest, in-depth reviews from Australia's most dedicated gaming journalists. No hype — just the truth.
Ironclad Protocol: Zero Hour is the tactical FPS that fans of the genre have been waiting for. With its meticulously designed maps set across war-torn urban environments, the game delivers an experience that rewards patience, coordination, and split-second decision-making. The destructible environment system is nothing short of revolutionary — every wall, window, and floor can be breached, fundamentally changing how engagements unfold.
The squad-based mechanics shine brightest in the game's ranked competitive mode, where communication becomes as vital as aim. The audio design is exceptional, with directional sound cues that provide genuine tactical information. Minor gripes include a somewhat thin single-player campaign and occasional server instability at launch.
Echoes of the Forsaken Realm is a monumental achievement in open-world RPG design. The world of Valdris is breathtakingly realised — from the sun-dappled canopies of the Whispering Woods to the crumbling spires of the Forsaken Citadel. Every corner of the map tells a story, and the environmental storytelling rivals the quality of the written narrative.
The combat system strikes a perfect balance between accessibility and depth. New players can rely on auto-combat assists while veterans can dive into a nuanced skill-chaining system that rewards mastery. The companion AI is among the best in the genre, with party members who react dynamically to the world and your choices. A landmark title for 2026.
A deep real-time strategy title that brings back the golden era of the genre with modern quality-of-life improvements and a robust multiplayer scene.
