Blood on the sand
The third and final instalment in Assassin's Creed Odyssey's Legacy of the First Blade series, Episode 3: Bloodline ties everything together quite well.

Game of the Month Best PS4 Games of February 2019
Crazy inventors, mutants, dirt, and legends
February was something of a mixed month on PlayStation 4. It saw quite a few new releases, but not all of them were especially well received.

Review Left Alive - An Embarrassing Imitation of Bygone Classics
Barely breathing
If it’s not immediately obvious, Left Alive is trying its absolute best to be the next Metal Gear Solid.

News Yes, Devolver Digital Will Hold a Press Conference at E3 2019
Oh boy
The last couple of years have seen one of the industry's smaller publishers crash the E3 party with unorthodox and worryingly violent press conferences, and it's been great. Devolver Digital's pressers mainly poke fun at the rest of the video game world, and provide some levity to an event that can take itself a little too seriously a
News The Sinking City Delayed to June, Citing a Crowded Month
More time to improve the game
Originally scheduled for launch in just a few weeks on 21st March, The Sinking City has been pushed back a couple of months to the Summer.

Review Devil May Cry 5 - Devil May Cry Back to Its Absolute Best
Underworld shattering
Devil May Cry 5 is like a swift kick up the arse. Over the last few weeks, games like Far Cry: New Dawn and ANTHEM have left us numb. Somewhat enjoyable, but ultimately, totally disposable experiences. Devil May Cry 5 is an intense reminder of what games can achieve when they have crystal clear focus. It's a linear, highly...

News It Looks Like The Messenger Is Coming to PS4
Slice and dice
The Messenger released on PC and Nintendo Switch in August of last year to critical acclaim, and it looks like the PlayStation 4 is going to get a taste of the action soon if a new PEGI rating for the title is anything to go by.

The wasteland superhero
If people thought Far Cry: New Dawn ate RAGE 2's lunch last month, the latest trailer is sure to set the record straight once again.

News Yakuza Studio Has Gone the Extra Mile for Judgment's Localisation
Extra credit
Judgment is the next game from SEGA's talented Yakuza Studio. The title seems to essentially be a Yakuza spin-off in which you play a private investigator named Takayuki Yagami.

Download it now
A little while back, you may remember hearing that beta invites were being sent out for PlayStation 4 firmware update 6.50.

Microsoft is believed to be in the advanced stages of releasing a disc-less Xbox One S console, imaginatively named – wait for this one – the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition.

News Japanese Sales Charts: Dead or Alive 6 Barely Makes It to the Top on PS4
It didn't do great
Dead or Alive 6 has topped the latest Japanese software charts, but not by much. Only just beating out the evergreen Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Koei Tecmo's fighter managed a meagre 26,000 copies. We're hoping that Dead or Alive 6 did a bit better digitally, because that total is pretty darn low, and it's only going to get lower...

Hands On Can Days Gone Keep Sony's First-Party Streak Alive?
Three hours with Bend's biker horror

For the past 15...

Poll Do You Feel Ripped Off by PS Plus' Recent Changes?
Value proposition
PlayStation Plus has been around for almost a decade now, but it blossomed into life on the PlayStation 3.

Stephen reflects on his original 9/10 review
There comes a point in any reviewer's writing career where they'll wish they'd scored something differently.

Review The Occupation - A Bold Political Thriller That's Strong But Not Always Stable
Fake news

Fresh tunes incoming
One of PlayStation VR's best games, and one that sparked a short-lived but highly entertaining rivalry at Push Square Towers, Beat Saber is cracking good fun no matter how you slice it.

News Dead or Alive 6 Patch Promises Costume Parts Fix for Easier Unlocking
Wardrobe malfunction
Grinding for additional costumes in Dead or Alive 6 is an absolute slog -- so much so that we dinged the game for its unlocking system in our review.

Review The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame - A Factory Built Sequel That Plays It Safe
Everything is alright
As with the film, you're likely to go into The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame knowing almost exactly what to expect.

New releases haven't done too badly, though. The LEGO...

Review Dead or Alive 6 - A Soft Sequel That Somehow Feels Rushed
In limbo
Dead or Alive 6 isn't the full-blown sequel to Dead or Alive 5 that we were hoping for. It's been over six whole years since the previous game first launched back on the PS3, and three years since the enhanced remaster, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, hit PS4. Given the wait, we expected a lot more from this sixth main instalment, even if it...
Poll One Week Later, Were the Reviews Right About ANTHEM?
How are you finding it?
ANTHEM currently sits at around a score of 60 on Metacritic across PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It's safe to say that the game's struggled, and for what was supposed to be a AAA Destiny-killer, you could argue that ANTHEM has been nothing short of a disaster for EA and BioWare. The game could well improve over time -- the developer...
