FPS Games Killing Floor 3 isn't revolutionary, but the simple bliss of Zed blasting makes me feel like it's 2009 again – even if it's missing the original's heart

Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War 4 screenshot showing armored orcs surrounded by the Autumn preview GamesRadar+ banner

Real Time Strategy Games Help me, Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 4 is so good I've been replaying the same mission for 3 hours and pestering its devs who have "been studying the blade and bolter"

Real Time Strategy Games "RTS will not be the big genre again," Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 4 lead predicts, but it can still be a big niche: "RTS won't kick shooters from the top of the food chain anytime soon, but that's fine, right?"

Battlefield Bad Company screenshot with two soldiers, one of which is pointing out a target to the second

Battlefield Battlefield 6 multiplayer is taking inspiration from Bad Company 2, but I hope its single player campaign looks further back to the series' best story

Tabletop Gaming Warhammer: The Horus Heresy Saturnine review in progress - "A complex, multi-layered knot of strategy that feels like old-school Warhammer in the best way"

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is fighting franchise fatigue in the most unexpected of ways with an ambitious co-op adventure which Treyarch believes can "redefine what campaign can be in Call of Duty"

Hershel Wilk jumps from a boat to solid ground in Zero Parades, with the GamesRadar+ Autumn Preview frame.

RPGs Some of Disco Elysium's best ideas are still around in Zero Parades, but the CRPG thriller has an almost impossible task ahead of it

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam screenshot shows someone holding a gun, running behind two other soldiers.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 gameplay showing

FPS Games Warhammer 40K: Boltgun 2 devs reveal what to expect from the Imperium's answer to Doom, and here's a spoiler: "More explosions, more blood, and more gore"
