Random You Wooden Believe This Custom Build Is a PS5 Console
But it is
We can probably all agree that the PlayStation 5's visual design is not to everyone's tastes. While we rather like the bold choice Sony made for the console's look, not everybody agrees. The curvy surfaces and white-and-black colour scheme are striking, but understandably, fans disagree whether it looks good. For those that don't like the...

It's to the right
Returnal is a game that concerns itself with cycles, trapping protagonist Selene in an endless loop in which she can't die.

News Final Fantasy VII's CG Cutscenes Look Better than Ever in This Impressive Fan Remaster
Final fantastic
The original Final Fantasy VII was a grand adventure, punctuated by a number of high quality CG cutscenes.
