The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered review – An ultra-faithful remaster I wish had gone full remake
Oblivion’s a great game, but does it really need a remaster? It’s a question I joined plenty of other folks in asking as the rumours and leaks bubbled away, while Bethesda and Virtuos Games maintained radio silence to an almost hilarious extent. In many ways, it’s a useless question to ask – there are very…
Doctor Who ‘Lucky Day’ review: Pete, I owe you an apology
Spoilers for “Lucky Day.” When the writers for this season of Doctor Who were announced, one name in the roster put me instantly on edge. Pete McTighe may have a distinguished filmography but, in this house, he’s known as the person who wrote “Kerblam.” That’s the Chibnall-era episode summed up as “Space Amazon is great…
Alienware AW2725Q review: An exceptional OLED gaming display
In 2023, I tested my first OLED gaming monitor for Engadget, the LG 27GR95QE. Coming from an IPS LCD, the LG screen was transformational. Its WOLED (White OLED) panel produced inky blacks that made every game look incredible, and it allowed me to experience HDR gaming on a PC for the first time. But as…
South of Midnight Review
South of Midnight is like a bowl of Southern gumbo served at a chain restaurant. It looks incredible. Smells great. It’s clearly been plated with love—gorgeous presentation, loads of style. But the moment you dig in, something’s off. The flavour’s flat. It’s missing that soul, that secret ingredient passed down through generations in a dusty…
Google Pixel 9a review: This is the budget smartphone to beat in 2025
For years, Google’s Pixel A-series line has been one of the best deals in smartphone-land. As long as you can tolerate (or hell, even prefer) Android to iOS, these are generally the best phones that can be had for $500. That hasn’t changed with the new Pixel 9a, but the market landscape has…somewhat. Apple recently…
Home Sweet Home’ iOS Review – A Great Start, but Needs More Work – TouchArcade
Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home has been a very interesting game to follow pre-release. I say this not only because it is a premium mobile-first Harvest Moon game, but also because the reactions from my friends who are longtime fans of the series have gone from apathy to interest with every bit of gameplay shown….
Doctor Who ‘The Well’ review: Signing makes you feel heard
Spoilers for “The Well.” Sometimes, in fiction, you don’t need to say a Very Important Thing in a Very Important Way to make a good point, just ask how a thing would work if it played out in the world. This week’s episode of Doctor Who, “The Well,” does exactly that, and brilliantly. Picking up…

‘Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’ review: Final Fantasy vibes and emotional maturity
Lately, AAA games have left me feeling a little uninspired. There’s a sameness to it all — big budgets, bigger expectations, and not a lot of heart. So when an AA game comes out of nowhere, clearly made out of a love for the game, it’s a real breath of fresh air. That game is…
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 review: An original hit RPG
It’s rare for a turn-based RPG to excite the editorial team beyond Engadget’s usual core RPG fans. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has many excited, however. Maybe it’s the dreamy Belle Époque aesthetic and design. Maybe it’s the gloriously pulpy concept of an all-powerful Paintress dooming humankind to an ever shortening mortal clock. Maybe it’s the…
