The Midnight Walk is a beautifully poignant kind of experience. It’s one filled with misery, heartbreak, and sorrow — all personified by the game’s impeccable claymation visual design. But it’s one you need to let wash over you before its true brilliance begins to show — and for us, it almost never managed it.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has finally landed on PS5, after a brief period of Xbox, PC exclusivity. We’ve been keen to get our hands on the latest from MachineGames, the team behind the Wolfenstein series, and now with DualSense haptics and even a PS5 Pro enhanced version, PS5 is the best place to experience this whip-cracking treasure hunt.
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 is the first in this intriguing two-parter, and an ambitious undertaking from the original creators of Life Is Strange. Establishing two timelines, both in the mid-90s and present day, Bloom & Rage is a return to Don’t Nod’s roots with a killer setting, lovable characters, and plenty of nerve-wracking decisions to make amidst a mystery narrative. However, Tape 1 is a slow burner, and while we’re onboard for the scene that it sets, it’ll be down to Tape 2 to dictate whether it’s all worth the ride.
Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is like a time machine back to the halcyon days of PS3, featuring over-the-top violence, ridiculous action, and a globe-trotting campaign. Black sparkles up those graphics for PS5, and while fun, it isn’t quite enough to counter how much this hack-and-slash experience has aged.
Cult co-op horror game Phasmophobia has finally made its way to PS5. This is one of those games we’ve watched from afar, somewhat jealous of all the hilarious clips that have spread since its initial launch on PC back in 2020. Now on PS5, along with PSVR2 support, have the spooks been worth the wait? While Phasmophobia can be technically frustrating, it’s a wonderfully unique co-op experience.
