Our journey with Rise of the Ronin was far from enjoyable. Despite the excellent implementation of the combat system and the thrill of its boss battles, the poor graphics and reliance on tired, repetitive level design within a lifeless open world drained any hope we had for the game. Ultimately, it stands out as one of the most disappointing PlayStation exclusives of the past decade.

It’s an experience no PS5 owner should miss.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth proves that true masterpieces stand the test of time. Not only has it effortlessly positioned itself as a top contender for Game of the Year, but it may very well have earned a place as the greatest Final Fantasy game ever made.

Skull and Bones isn’t a bad game, but it’s far from exceptional—it’s average at best. While it offers enjoyable gameplay and a uniquely realized pirate world with stunning visual design, it falls short on innovation and lacks the key elements that turn games into truly memorable experiences.

However, as you dive deeper into its world and story, you’ll realise it’s a complete game with unique content, an enjoyable gameplay experience, and a deep, shocking narrative that leaves you both amazed and eager for what lies ahead.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash draws heavily from the anime, which is evident in most of the story’s cinematic scenes. While the music and overall design added a distinctive charm that made parts of the adventure enjoyable, the short story length and the game’s overall ease made its price feel unjustified.

The Valhalla DLC in God of War Ragnarök is far from a filler packed with random challenges — it delivers a remarkable story and epic battles, all within a rich and expansive experience. Kratos’ journey through Valhalla stands as the perfect gift for longtime fans of the classic titles and a powerful introduction to his past for those who only experienced the newer entries.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora feels more like a simulation of Na’vi life than a true exploratory adventure. It had the potential to be exceptional, thanks to its stunning realisation of the world of Pandora. However, the shallow story, repetitive mission design, and poorly implemented navigation system turned it into a missed opportunity.

Quantum Error managed to present an intriguing story, but its impact would have been far greater had it been adapted into a cinematic work rather than a video game. Despite featuring some exciting ideas, it falls into several pitfalls. It’s a clearly ambitious project, but one that ultimately suffers from limited resources — had those been available, the game could have delivered a much stronger and more refined experience.
