Solar Ash review
Save the world on your skates What would happen if you combined Mario and Sonic? No, we’re not talking about the Olympics tie-ins, but more something like Solar Ash. It sounds like a leap of logic but it’s also a leap in ambition for indie developer Heart Machine who made its debut with 2016’s critically […]
Microsoft Surface Go 3 review
Mastering the basics but in need of some serious power The Microsoft Surface Go 3 is what some wish the iPad was. It’s a reasonably affordable tablet that has the same software as a laptop, Windows 11 in this case. It can run, or at least try to run, any application you might use on […]

Anyone getting a sense of deja-vu, it’s well-founded. […]

Forza Horizon 5 Review
You just have to marvel at it. Playground Games’ fifth venture into the Horizon is the pinnacle of open-world racing. A gorgeous, absurdly generous and flawlessly playable gem of a game, and one that’s – almost unbelievably – available as part of your Game Pass subscription. Amazing. Viva Mexico After Forza Horizon 4’s jolly jaunt […]
Honor 50 review
First stop on the comeback tour? After two long years in the wilderness, courtesy of some controversial geopolitics, budget smartphone specialist Honor is back in Europe. Former parent company Huawei might still be on the blacklist, but now Honor is its own entity, and free to use whatever software it likes. So you’d better believe […]
