Review Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (PS5) - Excellent Expansion Is Cyberpunk's Blood and Wine
Reed between the lines
CD Projekt Red has a bit of a knack for crafting DLC adventures. The Witcher 3 was blessed with two outstanding expansions, and the Polish developer can now add Phantom Liberty to its list of incredibly high quality excursions. Cyberpunk 2077's first (and last) expansion is an emotional rollercoaster, and features some of the...
Blood and shine
It's been over seven years since the original release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and as far as we're concerned, it's still unmatched in the modern role-playing space. If anything, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition is a poignant reminder that many of the bars CD Projekt Red set in 2015 have yet to be topped. Geralt's...
Review Cyberpunk 2077 (PS5) - Dark Future RPG Is Finally Ready to Rock
Play it again, Johnny
We called Cyberpunk 2077 "the single biggest disappointment of the generation" in our PlayStation 4 review. Harsh words, you might think, but it's easy to forget just how broken the long, long, long awaited role-playing game was at launch back in December 2020. Absolutely plagued with experience-breaking bugs and crippled by a...
Review Cyberpunk 2077 (PS4) - The Single Biggest Disappointment of the PS4 Generation
Night Sh*tty
Good God. Over seven years since that first CG trailer, and this is what we get? We always thought that writing this review was going to be difficult, but CD Projekt Red has made it a lot easier than we had ever imagined. Why? Because, as of v1.05, Cyberpunk 2077's a damn mess on PS4, PS4 Pro, and yes, even PS5 via backwards...
Review Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales - Some of the Best Writing You'll Find on PS4
Queen me
CD Projekt Red knows how to write a character-based story. For what is essentially a visual novel broken up by relatively brief card game battles, Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales spins a seriously impressive yarn, and it's this gripping narrative that keeps you glued to your controller. Thronebreaker tells the story of Queen Meve, a stern...
Review The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (PlayStation 4)
Life's a witch, then she dies

We've also included links to our reviews of the game's two expansions - which are included in the Game of the Year...
Review The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine (PS4)
Thank you and goodnight
Blood and Wine could be boxed, sold as a sort-of-sequel to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and no one would really question it. Once again, CD Projekt Red has gone above and beyond expectations; this final expansion not only serves as a fitting end to Geralt's gigantic tale, but it also manages to pack in so much quality content...
Review The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone (PS4)
A Witcher's work is thankfully never done
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Hearts of Stone is downloadable content done right. After being supported for weeks after its initial launch with free bits and pieces, the open world role-playing game's first of two expansions is here, and it's absolutely essential for anyone who enjoyed Geralt of Rivia's main...
