Review NHL 23 (PS5) – The Same as Last Year, with Small Changes
Stick it out
It’s the same thing every year, isn’t it? Annual sports titles get announced, highlight a few key features, and then hunker down for a few months, hoping any sort of pushback gets swept under the rug. It hits some series’ harder than others, Madden NFL being the most noteworthy franchise to endure a rough go of things. But some...

Poll Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
Smooth sailing
Two new PS5 games have caused a bit of an uproar this week. A Plague Tale: Requiem and Gotham Knights committed the ultimate sin of not reaching 60 frames-per-second on Sony's current-gen console. As far as we're concerned, both are good games — Requiem being a genuine treat, as per our review — but that hasn't stopped people from...

Review New Tales From The Borderlands (PS5) - No Tale, Too Much Borderlands
Fails from the Borderlands

The Last of Us' PS5 remake starts strong
PS5 stock is finally on the rise, and Sony is reaping the rewards big time.

News One Piece Odyssey Opens Up with 7 Minutes of Gameplay
Side quests, combat, and more

Hands On God of War Ragnarok on PS5, PS4 Is PlayStation At Its Pomp
Impressive, boy
After several hours with God of War Ragnarok there are some things we can tell you and much, much more we cannot, but we’ll begin with our overriding sentiment so far: this is why we love PlayStation. The reality is, biased as we may be, no one does it quite like PS Studios. Nintendo may be the kings of gameplay – and, to be...
News God of War Ragnarok on PS5 Runs at Up to 120fps, Four Graphics Modes
40fps mode included
Sony has today allowed media outlets (including ourselves) to share a sneak peek at the first five hours of God of War Ragnarok, but given how all anyone wants to talk about is frame rates at the moment, we figured it best to share what the game has to offer on PS5. There are two graphical modes to choose from, but two more are...
News Critics Are Divided Over More Than Just Gotham Knights PS5 Performance
Time for a vibe check
Gotham Knights has turned out to be a surprisingly divisive title, with sentiment seemingly shifting ever since we learned that, despite ditching a PS4 version, the game would only run at 30fps on PS5. This would, in turn, become a more prominent topic within the PlayStation community once we learned that A Plague Tale: Requiem
Hands On Resident Evil 4 PS5 Makes a Masterpiece Even Better
We played the remake's first 30 minutes
In 2023, there won't be a safer full-price purchase than the Resident Evil 4 remake. With the 2005 original still judged to be one of the best games of all time, it's extremely difficult to see how a PS5, PS4 modernisation could go pear-shaped. A recent Hands On session at Capcom's UK headquarters revealed to...

Poll Did You Buy Gotham Knights?
A caped crusade
It's been a long time coming, but we finally have a new Batman Arkham game on PlayStation. Well, kind of. Gotham Knights is very much its own thing — a co-op enabled adventure featuring Bruce Wayne's crime-fighting protégés. We quite liked this one, giving it a respectable 7/10 in our Gotham Knights PS5 review. Other reviews,...
Mini Review Dragon Ball: The Breakers (PS4) - Janky Casual Fun In Familiar Setting
Is it worth surviving?
Dragon Ball: The Breakers breaks into unfamiliar territory for the franchise — a realm that'll be more than recognisable to avid Dead by Daylight players.

That's because the cel-shaded art style has been dropped pretty much...
News UK Sales Charts: Horizon Forbidden West Soars Back into the Top Three
Thunderjaw-dropping
The UK's latest physical games charts are in, and it's pretty predictable stuff up at the top. FIFA 23 is number one for the third week running, and the indomitable Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is in second. Coming up in third, however, is Horizon Forbidden West, which makes a huge leap from 28th all the way to third. This can presumably...

Review Gotham Knights (PS5) - It's Actually Pretty Good
Return to Arkham
Sometimes, reviewing a game under embargo feels a lot like the famous Jose Mourinho phrase: "If I speak, I am in big trouble." Not just with the publisher, but also those fuelling the narrative that Gotham Knights is a bad game before it's even out. Warner Bros.

Persona 5 Royalties
Let's get right into it: Persona 5 would not be the success story that it is without the PS4.
