PowerUp!'s Reviews
Halo Infinite is, without question, the absolute best shooter of 2021
Essentially, I'm going to spend a few more days in the trenches to get a better handle on what appears to be, at the time of writing, a promise-filled yet obviously imperfect sequel.
You may never stop playing Forza Horizon 5. And you won't want to.
At the end of the day, Far Cry 6 successfully conjures the alluring tropical beauty of FC3's sandbox, FC4's verticality and mountaineering, along with the weirdo weaponry of New Dawn.
Deathloop is never anything less than absolute edge-of-your-seat gaming
Life is Strange: True Colours is the rare example of a game with both style and substance where both are equally important and neither falters.
Psychonauts 2 is a masterpiece of game design, narrative and subtle, yet powerful storytelling. It is a must-play.
Ghost if Tsushima Director's Cut isn't as revolutionary as its invasion-thwarting subject matter, but it's still a damn nice slice of samurai escapism. If nothing else, Sucker Punch has secured a solid new-gen beachhead to (hopefully) launch a multi-sequel assault.
It’s a masterclass in storytelling and a great first release for Modern Storyteller.
Sniper Elite VR misfires almost as much as it bullseyes
Death’s Door is a game that prepares you for the end, relishing in the journey all the same.
For all it’s charm and mechanical depth, Wings of Ruin only just manages to fly.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a phenomenal, PS5 system seller, and you should invest all your bolts in it.
You can – and truly ought to – grab it right now on Switch, Steam of iPhone or iPad. It’s an utter delight.
Biomutant is a statement of intent, a deliberate step away from the excess of old and toward a genuinely exciting reinvigoration of the genre.
Resident Evil Village is a modern-day horror classic. While it doesn’t quite reach the heights set by Resident Evil 4 or, the best-in-the-series, Resident Evil 2, Village is a game worthy of the Resident Evil moniker
Returnal makes an important, evolutionary (house)marque on the arcade shooter landscape.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is a showcase of the game design mastery which has made Nintendo the best in the business.
Little Nightmares 2 is a superb puzzle-platformer that'll worm its way into your brain and stay there.
Persona 5 Strikers is my favourite Musou crossover and the first one to truly feel like the guest franchise first and Warriors second.
