Game Reviews

Stellar Vanguard delivers on every front. The gunplay is tight and satisfying, the alien environments are jaw-dropping, and the campaign offers a compelling narrative that keeps you hooked for 30+ hours. Multiplayer modes are equally polished, with excellent matchmaking for Australian servers.

Dragon's Oath is a masterpiece. The world-building is unparalleled, with every region feeling distinct and alive. The character progression system rewards exploration, and the main quest is genuinely moving. Easily the RPG of the year.

Season 4 brings a revamped ranked system, two new maps, and a major balance overhaul. The result is the most competitive and enjoyable version of NexForce yet. Australian server performance is excellent with sub-20ms ping from most capital cities.

Iron Dominion is a sprawling strategy experience that rewards patience and planning. The AI is formidable, the tech tree is deep, and the multiplayer is surprisingly active in the Oceania region. A worthy addition to any strategy fan's library.

Hollow Drift is a gem from Melbourne-based studio Dusk Pixel. The hand-crafted levels are a joy to navigate, the soundtrack is mesmerising, and the narrative unfolds in unexpected ways. One of the best indie releases of 2026 so far.

Velocity Racers 2026 raises the bar for racing games. The physics engine is exceptional, the car roster is vast, and the track designs are inspired. The Australian online community is thriving, with weekly leagues and regular community events.
