Paul Hunter's Reviews
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.
Anno 117: Pax Romana on PS5 is an exceptional Roman spin on the Anno formula, and it nails the governor fantasy perfectly.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is a 23-game archive of early MK across arcade, console, and handheld versions, built with real care on PS5.
With confident visuals, lively sound, and huge replay value, Ball x Pit is the kind of game I can see myself bouncing back to for a long, long time.
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.
PowerWash Simulator 2 nails the follow-up. If you already like washing locations spotless, this is an easy pick on PS5.
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.
This is the Legends idea working as intended: tight scope, strong combat, and a city you'll want to visit over and over again.
Chicken Run: Eggstraction turns this familiar world into a stealth game that is just plain fun to spend time with.
The colourful Christmas look and friendly music make it great for a family night of gaming. If you're looking for a great festive option this holiday, The Elf on the Shelf is sure to be a winner.
It’s a confident return, if you want pure, hard-hitting action, this delivers from start to finish.
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.
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.
KAKU: Ancient Seal is a genuine feel-good trek for anyone who loves exploration, puzzles, and steady progression.
Two Wii-era icons arrive on Nintendo Switch looking crisper and running smoother, and they still play beautifully. This anniversary package respects what made these adventures special while giving them modern polish and new content to enjoy.
Reunion brings the Sonic Wings spirit back with speed and purpose: snappy controls, punchy boss fights, and a nice roster of pilots and wingmen to choose from.
Dreams of Another flips the trigger into a paintbrush and never lets the magic fade.
If you like working a case at your own speed, this one is a bright, satisfying mystery to sink into.
Ghost of Yotei is a stunning sequel that elevates everything Ghost of Tsushima did so well. Ezo is alive and breathtaking, packed with rewarding exploration, hidden shrines, and dynamic villages. Combat is fluid and versatile, with Atsu’s weapons, skills, and stealth options offering thrills with every encounter.
