On the Radar is a monthly GamesRadar+ series where we aim to dive deep into a game that's just been released. These are the new games that absolutely shouldn't be missed and these packages of articles explain exactly why.
After all, there's so much more to say about the games we're incredibly passionate about beyond the review - and that's where On the Radar comes in. We're talking about these big games as much as you are, and we want to talk about them with you.
