News UK Sales Charts: NieR Replicant Has Fantastic Debut in First Place
Cyberpunk 2077 still features in 10th
Blimey, not only is NieR Replicant a great game, but it's also done pretty well for itself in the latest UK sales chart.

News Next-Gen Showcase Godfall Seems Poised for PS4
Generational divides
Love it or loathe it, Godfall was definitely billed as a PlayStation 5 showcase. As a result, the title attracted some unfortunate expectations: it was clearly developed by a smaller team on a restricted budget, but was meant to demonstrate the capabilities of Sony’s next-gen console. Unfortunately, it never quite lived up to...

Deluxe treatment
Koei Tecmo has re-released yet another Atelier Trilogy, this time giving the Mysterious series the ‘Deluxe’ treatment. Unlike the Arland and Dusk trilogy, this threesome is already on PlayStation 4, so it does seem a little strange that they’re being released again on the same console. However, this is now the most complete...
News Pensioner Playground Just Die Already Plans a Funeral on PS4
Die hard
Fans of cult PlayStation 3 bone-breaker PAIN will probably find pensioner sandbox Just Die Already appealing. This unique OAP adventure sees you competing with other care home residents for free care – it’s probably all a bit insensitive, but it’s far too slapstick to be taken seriously. You’ll be swimming in shark ponds, strapping...

News Fly Your Fanboy Colours with FIFA 21's PlayStation FC Kit
Play has no limits
You can now swear your allegiance to PlayStation FC with an exclusive kit available in FIFA 21.

News Sony Sponsors Asobu, a Community Hub for Japanese Indies
Well, that changes the narrative
Depending on which Twitter accounts you follow, Sony is stepping away from indie developers and has turned its back on the Japanese development scene.

Mini Review Buildings Have Feelings Too (PS4) - A Management Game Lacking Solid Foundations
Bricking it
Buildings Have Feelings Too is essentially a city-building management game without the people.

Eyes from Olympus
Immortals Fenyx Rising gets its third (and maybe final) expansion on the 22nd April. Titled The Lost Gods, it's actually a bit of a departure from the main game and its previous DLCs.
