Overall, Crash 4 is a cracking platform game and an excellent way to start saying goodbye to the current console generation before the inevitable switchover to PS5 and Xbox Series X. It’s great fun, feels classic and most importantly plays brilliantly.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is another success in the series.
Overall, a great start for the PS5 era and a perfect example of a game that doesn’t have to be in-your-face to still dazzle.
I have thoroughly enjoyed playing Returnal so far and its unique die-and-start-over mechanic, excellent graphics, gameplay and sound all work brilliantly to deliver yet another fantastic first-party exclusive for the PS5.
Overall a fantastic new title for the PS5.
Overall, this is the best version of Ghost of Tsushima out there.
Older players who may remember the original titles will get that nostalgic feel. And even non-gamers will find this easy to enjoy. Great family fun.
Overall, this is the best day one first-person shooter of the year and will only evolve and improve more as the developers tweak it. You’ve an awesome open world to explore for the first time in the franchise and a top-level multiplayer suite to battle endlessly through during the cold winter months. Well done Xbox.
It is well worth another play, and will give you the better part of 20 hours of fun again. But be prepared, the newness of it lies within little tweaks here and there, rather than major changes and new gameplay. You’re ultimately playing the same games from yesteryear but now at the very peak of their powers.
After a strong 2021, Sony is hoping to capitalise on its growing first-party exclusives catalogue on the PS5 with a follow-up to 2017 hit Horizon: Zero Dawn - and they've pulled it off.
It has been equal parts a pleasure and hell to play Elden Ring. Because this is an amazing game and the developers have built a mind-boggling but nightmarish world to live and fight in.
Either way, this is a wonderful addition to the Switch catalogue and well worth the £50 fee. It’ll last you all summer and beyond.
If you really want to see what the PS5 is capable of when pushed, this is your game. And if you’re new to this series, this must be your next purchase.
The game is great and well worth buying if you’re looking for some multiplayer online shooting fun without the overt violence.
It’s a huge gaming bundle and everything you want from a football game.
Get your gun soldier, CoD is well and truly back!
This is a must-buy for PS5 owners this winter.
It’s atmospheric, scary and adrenaline-inducing space fun. A top remake.
Minecraft Legends is gaming at its best - fun, welcoming, evolving, easy to play but endlessly difficult to master. And best played with friends. You’ll be continuously tested by this game and it takes its forebears’ core mechanics and adds them neatly into a new-but-familiar mix of action and strategy.
Electronic Arts should be proud of what Respawn has accomplished here. Let’s hope there’s another epic to come in future.
