(12/15/2025, 3:28 PM) - Eurogamer.net Latest Articles Feed
Exodus looks a lot like Mass Effect - let's get that out of the way.

Brilliantly cinematic supernatural thrill ride Ghost Town is finally on PSVR 2 and it's easily one of my favourite games this year
(12/14/2025, 10:02 AM) - Eurogamer.net Latest Articles Feed
It took about five seconds to figure out Ghost Town might be something a bit special when I first played it earlier this year.

(12/13/2025, 6:04 PM) - Rock Paper Shotgun News Feed
It's funny to think that RuneScape: Dragonwilds, one of those cosy-ish, survival crafty type of games doesn't have farming just yet, but I suppose that's understandable given it is an early access game.
