A Million in Three Days: The Blood of Dawnwalker's Launch Is a Win for Our Region Too
Rebel Wolves' vampire RPG debut sold over a million copies in roughly three days. A huge start for a brand-new studio from Central Europe - though the game's divisive time-limit mechanic is worth knowing about before you pay full price.

Grail Review: The Stacklands Devs Built the Autobattler I Can't Quit
Sokpop's Grail is a deckbuilding autobattler where your cards fight for you - and it's the most dangerous ten-euro time sink of the month. Score: 8/10.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword Review - Capcom's Blade Is Sharp Again
After two decades on the shelf, Onimusha returns with the best sword combat Capcom has shipped in years - dragged down slightly by dated arena filler. Score: 8/10.

No, Sony Isn't Killing the PlayStation Disc - Production Drops 10 Percent, Not to 10 Percent
A wave of headlines declared the end of physical PlayStation games after a Sony DADC executive's comments were misread. The reality: disc production is expected to dip by 10 percent in 2028, not to 10 percent. For players in our region who still resell and lend discs, that difference is everything.

Two Nintendo Directs in Two Days - and One of Them Is All About Zelda's 40th
Nintendo is stacking two showcases back-to-back this week: a Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct on Tuesday, followed by a general Nintendo Direct and a Treehouse: Live stream on Wednesday. Here's why this one has me genuinely giddy.

Vávra Defends DLSS 5 in KCD2 - and the 'AI Slop' Fight Gets Loud
Daniel Vávra posted a KCD2 before-and-after and told DLSS 5 critics they've gone crazy, calling the processed image Warhorse's original artistic vision. I think both sides are arguing with the wrong evidence.

Polyphony Digital is bringing the classic Autumn Ring circuit back to Gran Turismo for the first time in 13 years. The Spec IV update also adds a dozen new cars and the real-life Sportsland Sugo track, rolling out in two parts in October and December.

The Blood of Dawnwalker Review: A Vampire RPG With Real Teeth
Rebel Wolves' debut is a dark, ambitious RPG where a 30-day clock and a day/night split make every choice sting. Rough combat holds it back, but this is the real deal. Score: 8/10.

DLSS 5 Can Eat 73% of Your Frames - and Frame Gen Is the Cover Story
PC Gamer's testing shows DLSS 5's new 3D-Guided Neural Rendering can cut frame rates by up to 73% on an RTX 5080 in NBA 2K27. Here's why frame generation numbers can't paper over a render-rate collapse - and why your mouse will notice.

FF7 Revelation Gets a Disc - but the Disc Alone Won't Run the Game
Square Enix confirmed a physical edition of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, but with a catch: the disc requires an internet download before you can play, on every platform. For anyone who buys physical for real ownership, resale and offline play, that changes what the box is actually worth.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault Review - Capitalism With a Sword
Digital Sun's shopkeeping roguelike hits 1.0 and the loop is stickier than ever: raid dungeons by night, fleece customers by day. The shop half is thinner than the dungeon half, but I can't stop playing. Score: 8/10

Consoles Got Pricier Over Tariffs. The Refunds Stay With Sony and Microsoft
US courts ruled the tariffs that pushed console prices up illegal, so Sony and Microsoft are getting their money back. Their lawyers argue the customers who actually paid those higher prices are owed nothing - and Nintendo set the template.
