So long story short, Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut takes an amazing game, and makes it even more impressive. Whether you're a new player or a returning fan (If you've played on PS4, you can transfer your save file over in a few swift actions), the upgraded experience on PS5...
Even though Road 96 isn't very long (you can probably get through the full game in around seven hours), this is a compelling and engaging narrative-driven tale that manages to convey emotion between its eccentric cast of characters incredibly well. The core underlying story is not always the easiest to...
As far as a package deal goes, Dreamscaper is a pretty competent roguelike. Despite the slow-paced combat, what Afterburner has delivered is an experience with plenty of options that won't fail to entertain, whether you're in the lucid or conscious world. I still firmly believe that Dreamscaper's biggest strength is...
In fact, this point can basically be traced back to the core positives and negatives of this game. What Neon Giant has delivered with The Ascent is a truly ambitious project that hits the right marks for the most part. It's absolutely stunning and the world feels as alive and...
Hell Let Loose has a defined place in this genre, a place where a select few individuals will thrive and enjoy what is offered beyond belief. But, beware. As if fast-paced games are your forte, and you prefer shooters that are more 'arcadey' in nature that feature less emphasis on...
Either way, if you are a fan of action-adventure, Zelda-like games, or indies as a whole, you won't go wrong with Death's Door. Despite it only being around ten hours long, and pretty simple in its design, this is one of the most refined indies out there today, and it's...
Cris Tales really is a game that, to me, has various hits and misses. There are parts that I adore, and parts I despise, and it makes for a conflicting experience. With some slight tweaks to make the combat feel less punishing and exhausting, Cris Tales can be something genuinely...
So, all there really is to know about Where the Heart Leads is that if you are looking for an incredibly relaxed game that asks very little of you as a player, then you'll feel right at home. If not, this won't be the game for you, despite the fact...
But, technology rant aside, Old World looks and plays great. The performance of the title is fluid and fast and the UI has been designed in a way that promotes ease of use for the most part - despite the fact that you have so many options it feels like...
Chivalry 2 is a really fun game to dive into, but I can see its medieval setting and limited options becoming a little dull as the weeks from launch pass. This game is quite frankly what it says on the tin, and if you are not a fan of running...
But, these issues don't change my opinion that this is once again a great instalment into the Ratchet & Clank universe. The new features, the utilisation of the PS5 and the DualSense, and the new cast, including Rivet make me even more excited for the future of this franchise. Platforming...
I don't inherently believe that King of Seas is a bad game. But, there are clear issues with what it offers. The pacing and grindy progression is abhorrent at times and makes it very challenging to stay engaged in what it offers. On the other hand, the world looks great,...
