At its best, Resident Evil Village is an intense, action-packed thrill-ride that also provides plenty of satisfying survival horror exploration and puzzling.
Returnal is definitely one of the best PlayStation 5 games you can buy right now, and will undoubtedly impress anybody who picks it up with the speed of its gameplay, quality of its detailed presentation and the fun haptics.
NieR Replicant is a sticky one, alright.
It’ll give you the willies in ways you might not expect, and ways that are hard to forget.
Even ignoring performance issues and bugs, Cyberpunk 2077 is still a deeply flawed game, but there is a lot to like – from its rendition of Night City, to the breadth of its side content and the deep level of character customisation with perks and upgrades.
If there’s one game to own on Day One for PS5, and you don’t mind dying a lot, Demon’s Souls is a must-have.
Whether you choose ray-traced glory or the buttery smooth turbo-mode gameplay, Devil May Cry 5 remains an eminently enjoyable action game, and the adding Vergil into the mix only makes it even sweeter.
For Kingdom Hearts fans, Melody of Memory is a nice dose of nostalgia for your own memories of the series’ score.
So, the takeaway is this – Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a successful experiment. So successful that I think it should be the template for much of the series going forward.
There are better Final Fantasy remasters and remakes on all the platforms this is out on, and your time would be better spent with any of them.
It’s definitely a disappointment compared to the new powers and trippy areas we received in the first part of Control’s season pass – The Foundation – and the new meat it throws to Alan Wake fans does little to resolve the character’s lingering narrative threads, but to set up new ones.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is truly impressive. You literally have the entire world at your fingertips, and the freedom to customise your flight in incredible detail. But, it feels like the base – the proof of concept simulation that will be built upon – for a game that can become truly remarkable.
In Death Unchained is a tough son of a bitch, but it’s also a pretty engaging experience, if you’re up for the challenge.
Command & Conquer Remastered Collection really breathes new life into the series, even if it’s just wrapping up its two oldest games in modern clothing. It reminds players of exactly what they fell in love with about Command & Conquer, with fun, challenging missions, goofy FMV’s and awesome music.
Burnout Paradise Remastered on Switch runs really well, and if the price doesn’t bother you it’s easy to recommend on the system if you have a love for the game.
Without any unique selling points or cool trappings and additional content, I can’t recommend buying this collection.
As a swan-song for the PS4, The Last of Us Part II is a belter
While the effort is admirable, it makes quite a few sacrifices to get it all functional and working on Switch’s hardware
While it doesn’t quite have enough tricks up its sleeve to remain engaging throughout its 40-hour main story, it’s still a creative, interesting new take on the franchise that’s worth a look for any fan after something a bit different.
The Foundation is a worthy continuation of the Control’s storyline, that plays just as well as the main game, with some additions that while not game-changing, are nice to have.
