Gallipoli turns one of the First World War's most brutal campaigns into a tense, atmospheric multiplayer shooter in which every ridge, trench and beach can become a killing ground.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun remains a masterclass in tactical stealth, and its Switch 2 edition delivers the most refined and accessible version of this timeless classic yet.
