Still, how bad can any film be that includes stars like the still-very-cute Baby Yoda (though we worry that this little man has not grown an inch since we first met him), Sigourney Weaver as a stoic New Republic colonel, and Martin Scorsese ( he's billed in the opening credits!) as a panini-slinging local merchant with some valuable information? These will prove to be the best elements of the film, despite prolonged action scenes that seem readymade to be proclaimed as "bigger and better" than the show.

Star Wars Outlaws joined Xbox Game Pass in January, and it's now coming to PS Plus. The game puts players in the shoes of Kay Vess, a scoundrel in the Outer Rim of the galaxy. The action-adventure title follows her story as she navigates different factions, makes allies and enemies, and takes on bounty hunters and space pirates.

Stranger Than Heaven will feature a story spanning 50 years, across five eras and five cities. The game will follow the rags-to-riches story of Makoto Daito, born to an American father and a Japanese mother in San Francisco, who finds himself on a ship to Japan.

When the Tomb Raider reboot landed back in 2013, it did something risky. It took an icon who had spent decades as an untouchable, dual-pistol-wielding force of nature, and broke her. Gone were Lara Croft's guns akimbo and her wink-at-the-camera cockiness in favour of a makeshift bow and a desperate, mud-caked struggle to stay alive on the island of Yamatai.

Thirteen years after vanishing at the end of the original game, cursed horror author Alan Wake is trapped in an alternate dimension and determined to write his way out, while FBI agents close in on the mysterious town of Bright Falls. Why we love it: A thoroughly entertaining blend of detective procedural and surrealist survival horror. Read the full review.

When Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is good, it's good. The latest in Nintendo's sci-fi exploration franchise, and the first since Metroid Dread in 2021, Beyond captures the moody sense of isolation and discovery that has been so core to Metroid since it debuted in 1986. Those quiet moments truly make you feel all alone on a harsh alien planet, punctuated by intense action set pieces and some incredible boss fights.

The Uncharted series is one of the best all-around action-adventure experiences you can have in video games.

Shadow Labyrinth plays like a traditional Metroidvania, emphasizing exploration and combat with a hooded swordmaster navigating a maze-like alien world, guided by Puck.

In the first extended look at Ghost of Yotei's gameplay hosted by creative directors Jason Connell and Nate Fox, developer Sucker Punch shared more details about how players will go about exacting revenge on the Yotei Six, the infamous group of bandits who killed Atsu's family and left her for dead. Atsu, the new protagonist, is described as neither a samurai nor a ninja, but as a 'lone wolf mercenary' ready to pick up any weapon or trick to get the better of her enemies.

Stellar Blade, a former PlayStation 5-exclusive action game, is set to launch on Windows PC, allowing PC gamers to experience its dynamic gameplay and stunning visuals.

In At Fate's End, players guide Shan through intense family conflicts where combat intertwines with dialogue choices, affecting the narrative and character growth.

"The combination of handing the keys to a classic franchise to a proven indie studio like Lizardcube and the utterly stunning art style had me ready to don the Oboro Clan shōzoku..."

The film is a professional piece of work but ultimately feels soulless, like it was generated by AI using familiar action-adventure tropes and beats.
