Add online co-op and suddenly you’re designing dream towns with friends and Pokémon flair. It’s cosy, creative and full of clever transformation tricks that make every session feel different.…

Every now and then a game comes out of nowhere and steals the spotlight, and Arc Raiders is that game.

Expect to hear its name everywhere this year. GAME NINJA PRO TIP In Arc Raiders, stick with your squad and communicate constantly as it punishes solo players.
