9 / 10.0 - Lumines Arise
Nov 11, 2025

As a whole, Lumines Arise absolutely delivers what a modern Lumines should be. A nice spread of solo modes and multiplayer extends the replayability, and it all comes together as one of the best puzzle experiences on PS5.

As a complete package, Syberia Remastered lands in a very good spot. It respects the 2002 adventure while giving it sharper graphics, better camera work and modern quality of life tweaks on PS5.

Wreckreation delivers the arcade racing rush I wanted. It gets you into the action quickly, lets you shape the island with simple tools, and pairs strong audio with visuals that pop in all weather.

6 / 10.0 - Painkiller
Oct 26, 2025

Painkiller on PS5 delivers classic arena shooting, built around quick missions and constant action. The hellish settings sets the mood, and the audio keeps the combat feeling loud and satisfying. I do wish Painkiller offered more content though, after one night I felt like I experience much of what the game has to offer.

8.5 / 10.0 - Battlefield 6
Oct 18, 2025

Battlefield 6 brought back what I want from this series: huge multiplayer matches where teamwork pays off and every role can contribute to the win. The online multiplayer is the main draw, but the campaign is a solid bonus when you want to play solo.

9 / 10.0 - Keeper
Oct 17, 2025

Keeper delivers a focused six-hour journey built on movement, light, and confident pacing. Puzzles are fun to complete, and curiosity is rewarded with nice secrets. Presentation stands out with a hand-painted look, lively wildlife, thoughtful camera work, and a score that swells at the right moments. For narrative-first adventures, it’s an easy recommendation.
