About Reviews
Game and gaming hardware reviews, critics' roundups and first looks, each clearly labelled so you always know whose verdict you're reading.
Our reviews give a score out of 10, a one-line verdict, and what we liked and didn't. Critics' roundups gather what the major review outlets said about a big new release, with Metacritic and OpenCritic scores and the main praise and complaints in one place. First looks cover newly announced hardware before full reviews are out. Every card shows which kind of article it is, so you can find exactly what you need.
