FIFA 22
FIFA 22 has been in my PS5 library for a week now, giving me time with a good chunk of its single-player and multiplayer offerings including Ultimate Team, Pro Clubs, and its Career mode. However, after struggling to find players for its improved Volta street football mode, thus being unable to...
Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a throwback to a bygone era but with the technical prowess of a current-gen game. Taking its cues from older The Legend of Zelda games — it’s no surprise that its developer and digital animation studio Ember Lab previously produced a Majora’s Mask short film — puzzle-solving through...
Cruis’n Blast answers many of those age-old questions: what would happen if a fire truck raced a hammerhead shark? Could a 1959 Cadillac Eldorado outpace a unicorn? And can an arcade racer work on a console in the year 2021? The first two questions can be answered by cycling through the...
Whenever Raz enters someone’s mind in Psychonauts 2, he asks for their consent beforehand. In the one instance in which he doesn’t, he dives into the mind of the Psychonaut’s second-in-command Hollis Forsythe. He swiftly learns that this unsolicited meddling can cause terrible damage to the recipient; Hollis warns him...
Biomutant
How did this happen? Biomutant has been in development since 2015, originally set for release in 2018, before being delayed all the way into 2021. We’ve seen smatterings of footage here and there and the occasional playable build, with developer Experiment 101 being so quiet that they even had to confirm the...
New Pokemon Snap isn’t the calm, meditative sightseeing tour I was expecting. As one of few who never played the Nintendo 64 original, I’d always imagined Pokemon Snap to be pretty laid-back. You’d sit in your car, take a picture of a Pikachu eating an apple, then you’d call it a...
You know that existential crisis that sometimes accompanies playing a new game you’ve been looking forward to, where you feel like you should be enjoying yourself more than you actually are? When you remember what it was like to play games as a kid, when you could get lost in...
I died 189 times on the second level of Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection. I’m laying my cards on the table here, knowing that when this game launches there will be a YouTuber who completes the thing in under 3 minutes while blindfolded and baking a soufflé at the same time. However,...
I thought I knew what I was getting into with Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. Nintendo has now released remasters of basically all of the Wii U’s most acclaimed games, polishing them up with only a few additions sprinkled here and there. For people who haven’t played these...
Cyberpunk 2077 is not what CD Projekt Red wanted it to be. Never before has a game so clearly defined the over-ambitiousness of the gaming industry, with it so laboriously stuffed with content that it’s quite literally bursting at the seams. Everywhere you look in Night City there’s evidence of a...
Fuser
Do you remember The Outdoors? It was something that existed in the not-too-distant past, before we argued over whether we should wear masks or sentence our grandparents to death. Fuser reminds me of what The Outdoors was like — specifically, the variation of The Outdoors that I avoided. The giant crowds, the face...
The PS5 Future of Gaming Show in June was our first look at Sony’s next-gen hardware, yet despite finally seeing what the console would look like, we were left with only one burning question after the event: what on earth are Bugsnax? Now, nearly six months later, we finally have...
