Review Metro Awakening (PSVR2) - One of the Most Immersive VR Games Ever
Make your bullets count
Metro Awakening is arguably the biggest PSVR2 release of 2024, but it’s also a big shift for Vertigo Games, the team behind the Arizona Sunshine series. While the wacky and bloody antics of zombie slaying are an easy fit for the VR format, the Metro series is all about stealth, bullet counting, and that dread-inducing...
Review Undisputed (PS5) - Spirited Boxing Sim Is on the Path to Greatness
A contender
Sports games are outrageously difficult to create, so you’ve got to give credit to Sheffield-based studio Steel City Interactive for having the guts to step into the ring. EA Sports defined generations with its Fight Night franchise, but lagging sales mean it’s moved on to the more lucrative UFC license. Undisputed swings for the...
Review Dead Island 2 (PS5) - A Surprisingly Refreshing Zombie Slasher
A Zom-pocalypse worth the wait
Nine years ago, Dead Island 2 entered the public zeitgeist with a vibrant and funny reveal trailer. It teased a new, colourful setting in L.A. whilst doubling down on that irreverent tone of the original game. However, as the years passed on, the rumour mill began to churn out tales of internal struggles, with the...
Review Saints Row (PS5) - Seriously Dumb Fun Outweighs Dated Open World
The old dusty trail
Believe it or not, it's been nine whole years since Saints Row IV, and to be honest, not much has changed (minus the superpowers and alien invaders, obviously). The simply titled Saints Row is a reboot of the series, sporting an entirely new setting, new characters, and a fresh story — but the gameplay structure that the...

Damned if you do

Mini Review Chorus (PS5) - Stunning Space Exploration with Slick Combat
Sing it with me
If there's one thing developer Fishlabs knows well, it's space combat and exploration. Despite little previous experience with PlayStation hardware, its PS5 debut Chorus shares many similarities with its long-running mobile series Galaxy on Fire. As a result, Chorus is a confident first stab at a high profile release for the team,...

Latest Deep Silver Articles
Guide Metro: Exodus - Everything We Know So Far
Open world, release date,
We've known about Metro: Exodus for some time, but we learned a ton of new information during Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference. We learned the official release date, how it will differ from the previous two entries, and some plot details. In this guide, we'll round up everything there is to know about Metro: Exodus...
E3 2018 New Metro: Exodus Trailer Brings Lots of Gameplay and a Release Date
Don't expect that date to stay though
4A Games gave the world its first glimpse of its newest game, Metro: Exodus, at Microsoft's E3 conference last year, so it was no surprise to see Artyom and his wonderfully bleak Russian wasteland grace the stage again. Rather than a more structured , guided demo, we instead got a variety of brief snippets of...
Hands On Kingdom Come: Deliverance Marries the Open World of Skyrim With... The Sims?
Say goodbye to your social life
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is the latest invader to land on our shores, readying its blade to take Skyrim's crown. Much like The Elder Scrolls before it, this is a first person RPG of epic proportions, with a massive game world to explore, side quests aplenty, and as many systems as you have hair follicles on your...
News Mighty No. 9 Shoots for a Confirmed Release Date on PS4, PS3
Vita version coming later
Well, looks like Keiji Inafune and his team are partnering with publisher Deep Silver in order to help market and distribute upcoming crowd funded sidescroller, Mighty No. 9. The Mega Man-like title will launch on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 on the 18th September in Europe, and the 15th September in North America, so...
News Metro Redux Shows a Thirst for the Apocalypse with Over 1.5 Million Copies Sold
Take that, mutants
A collection that contains remastered versions of both Metro: 2033 and Metro Last Light, Metro Redux is a pretty meaty package, and we'd argue one of the best shooters on the PlayStation 4. It's quite nice, then, that the post-apocalyptic romp has sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide. The news comes via Deep Silver, and,...
News Did Dying Light Scare Dead Island 2 Away?
It's a zombie eat zombie world
This is a strange one, isn't it? Techland, the developer behind the original Dead Island, went on to create the rather enjoyable Dying Light after departing from publisher Deep Silver. Meanwhile, the former's getting a sequel in the form of Dead Island 2, but as Videogamer.com cleverly points out, we haven't seen or...
News Oh Dear, The Uncensored Version of Saints Row IV: Re-Elected Is Being Recalled in Australia
Whoops
Who would ever deny the Saints of their fun, eh? Calling it a "serious manufacturing issue", an Australian agency has explained the recall of Saints Row IV: Re-Elected on the PlayStation 4, after it was discovered that the release was "incorrectly classified". As you may know, censorship policies in the land down under can be rather strict,...
News Saints Row Parodies Top Gear and the Result Is Just as Stupid as You'd Expect
Gun it
Just when you thought that Saints Row couldn't get any more unpredictable, it goes and parodies Top Gear, complete with Jeremy Clarkson-like commentary and a faceless racer known as the Stag. The four minute live action video ties into the recently released Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell expansion, as the, er, Stag takes the Armchair-A-Geddon...
News Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell's Launch Trailer Is Even More Ridiculous Than We Imagined
Fly Johnny, fly
Saints Row IV was an utterly ridiculous experience, and developer Volition seems keen to carry that tone through the series' upcoming expansion, Gat Out of Hell. Of course, we knew that already, but the standalone DLC's launch trailer still managed to surprise us. The video's full of dumb, crass humour and stupid selling points, but...
News Saints Row IV and All of Its DLC Gets Re-Elected on PS4 Next Year
We should have known
We were busy typing away about the rather surprising reveal of Saints Row: Gat out of Hell, when suddenly, developer Volition decided to throw a slightly less shocking announcement our way. That's right, the PlayStation 4 is getting another last-gen port, and this time, it's the wacky Saints Row IV, which now comes with the...
News Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell is Coming to PS4, and It's, Er, a Standalone Expansion Pack
Gone when the morning comes
Well, we didn't see that one coming. As you've no doubt heard, publisher Deep Silver released a Saints Row teaser image over Twitter earlier today, and with developer Volition hosting a panel at this year's PAX convention this evening, it seemed all but assured that the crazy sandbox franchise would be making an...
E3 2014 Dead Island 2 Will Lurch onto PS4 with Undead Exclusive Content in 2015
Dead scary
Dead Island 2 will be coming to PlayStation 4 in mid-2015, Sony announced at its E3 press conference. The gratuitously gory brawler will feature 8 player multiplayer, as well as multiple character classes, and a deep skill system. What's more, if you're playing on the Japanese giant's super system you'll receive as yet unannounced...
News Risen 3: Titan Lords Looks an Awful Lot Like Dark Souls
Releasing on PS3 in August
If you're looking for something to play on the PlayStation 3, and Murdered: Soul Suspect isn't doing anything for you, perhaps Risen 3: Titan Lords will fill that role. Developer Piranha Bytes has recently released a new trailer for the title, along with the news that it'll be launching on 12th August in North America and...
Rumour The Post-Apocalyptic Metro Series May Be Taking a Train to PS4
Takin' the slay train
You may recall that early last year rumours were floating around the Internet suggesting that post-apocalyptic shooters Metro: 2033 and Metro: Last Light would be making a bee-line for the PlayStation 4 in the form of upgraded ports. Considering the upgrades th
News This Rumoured EU February PS Plus Lineup Looks Scarily Good
Too good to be true?
European PlayStation Plus subscribers could be in for a real treat, if a leaked list of Instant Game Collection titles posted on GamePointsNow is to be believed. PlayStation 4 owners would be insane to miss out on Red Barrels Games' asylum-based survival horror title Outlast, while those among you who have held onto your dear...
News Winter Stars Aims to Test Your Move Skills
An enjoyable sports collection, or complete waggle fest?
It’s been a year now since the PlayStation Move launch title Sports Champions released, and we’re quite surprised that a multitude of sports compilation titles haven’t released this past year to try and capitalise on its success. Well, that’s about to change as Winter Stars is headed...
