Schism fights monsters in Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era - with the GamesRadar+ Big Preview frame

Strategy Games I've been waiting 10 years for Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, so here's the five biggest updates I'm already loving, and the development choices behind them

Survival Horror Games Routine review: "This imperfect but wonderfully atmospheric moon-based horror leaves a strong impression"

Horror Games Nearly 10 years later, Doom 2 mod Total Chaos is reborn as a standalone horror FPS I'll be playing all winter, and it makes Silent Hill look like a rom-com

A knight on horseback leads the charge against another army in classic Heroes of Might and Magic 3 key art, with the GamesRadar+ Big Preview frame

Strategy Games Revisiting Heroes 3 after 20 years has made me realize that Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era may have already surpassed it

A green map with plenty of fog of war in Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, with the GR+ Big Preview frame

Strategy Games Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era's huge demo feels like Early-Early Access because its strategy champion devs are constantly working off your feedback: "The philosophy here is transparency"

Board Games Warhammer Quest: Darkwater feels leaner, meaner, and a lot of fun, so I hope fans can actually get their hands on it this time

Strategy Games I'm usually a Dungeon disciple in Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, but after 2 hours with the latest build, I'm feeling oddly fond of insects

The Big Preview art of Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era showing warring armies with a town and a dragon in the background - showing the Cover Story tag

Strategy Games Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era is a "great pleasure" and a "great responsibility" for its superfan CEO, and he's governed by one guiding principle: "Heroes is for everyone"

Strategy Games The Big Preview for Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era – Exclusive dev access and hands-on with the strategy RPG revival

Dying Light: The Beast screenshot of Kyle Crane with blood on his face, with a Dying Light The Beast overlay

Survival Games Dying Light: The Beast's dialogue choices are all about character building instead of story-shaping, and it fixes my biggest problem with Dying Light 2

A huge explosion hitting a skyscraper in the single-player campaign for Battlefield 6

Battlefield I got to play Battlefield 6's single player for 3 hours, and it's a clear return to the grounded shooter campaigns of the early 2010s

Godbreakers art of two white and black warriors fighting in a green field

Roguelike Games I found the co-op roguelike I've been looking for: picture Risk of Rain 2 with more melee and MMO raid bosses, and it's no wonder it's one of the biggest games in Steam Next Fest

Key art for Silent Hill f, cropped for a thumbnail, showing Hinako Shimizu standing in an alley of Ebisugaoka, a 1960s rural Japanese town, which has been taken over by red sprouting growths, including spider lilies
