For what it's worth, this has always been their style (I started reading them in 2010), even before the Eurogamer acquisition in 2017 or so.
I agree that it does feel more forced now, they a bit more subtle and tasteful back in the day.

Yeah, I didn’t have any issues with them until recently when every other outlet started copying it and they seemingly cranked it to 11 in response. They’d work great as taglines but I prefer descriptive titles so I don’t have to “figure out” the topic. Feels antithetical to the purpose of a headline
