Round Up ANTHEM PS4 Reviews Falter
Middling reception to massive release
ANTHEM’s not off to a particularly impressive start, we’re afraid. We wrote in our pre-release preview that BioWare’s big budget loot shooter needs to be much, much better at launch – and despite the pledge of patches, critics aren’t exactly enamoured with what the

Guide Is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Like Dark Souls?
How it differs, and how it stays the same
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the next project by the excellent FromSoftware, a studio you'll know quite intimately from your time spent dying repeatedly in Dark Souls or Bloodborne.

Not dead yet
There was a rumour going around earlier in the week that Overkill's The Walking Dead had been cancelled on consoles.

But industry down 19 per cent year-over-year
The first NPD result of the year is in, and the industry slipped to a 19 per cent year-over-year decline in the United States – despite titles like Kingdom Hearts III and Resident Evil 2 putting in a decent performance.

News Japanese Sales Charts: A Big Week for PS4 Sees Jump Force, Catherine, and More Break Top 10
But PS4 hardware stays the same
It's been a busy week in Japan as far as new releases on PS4 are concerned. Jump Force (perhaps unsurprisingly) topped the software charts, moving a decent 77,000 copies.

Beat it
Small publisher 11 Bit Studios has announced it's bringing the well-received arrest-'em-up Beat Cop to PlayStation 4.

News One Piece: World Seeker Has a Karma System and Character Relationships
A pirate's life
We're not expecting One Piece: World Seeker to be a massively in-depth open world RPG, but it does sound like it's taking a few small steps towards building a more complex adventure. Through the game's latest trailer, it's confirmed that the title will have a "karma system", allowing Luffy to build a reputation as he goes about his...
News Massive ANTHEM Day One Patch Should Smooth Out the Game for Its PS4 Launch
Hooray
ANTHEM's in a bit of a rough state right now on PC and Xbox. Based on what we've heard and read, it's not outright broken or anything, but the early access build could certainly use some work in key areas. Fortunately, by the time it launches on PS4 later this week, things should be quite a bit smoother. The game's getting a rather huge day...

Review Steins;Gate Elite - The Greatest Visual Novel Just Got Even Better
El Psy Kongroo
What would you do if you had the ability to send text messages back in time? Maybe you’d send yourself the answers to a test at school, or maybe even the winning lottery numbers.

News Chinese RPG Sword & Fairy 6 Heads West on PS4 This April
The more the merrier
We don't often get a chance to sample Chinese-developed games here in the West, and so Sword & Fairy 6 has caught our eye. The latest instalment in what is apparently a very popular role-playing series in China, Sword & Fairy 6 promises a fantastical story based in Chinese mythology, and a battle system that blends a bit...
News Monster Hunter: World on PS4 Was Japan's Best Selling Game of 2018
Roarsome
And to think, we were told time and time again that Monster Hunter was doomed as soon as it 'betrayed' its handheld fans. Launching back in January last year, Monster Hunter: World went on to become Capcom's best selling game ever, which, even after writing that numerous times over the last 12 months, is a stat that still beggars belief...
Soapbox Can We Please Kill Cursors in Console Games?
Sammy's cursing up a storm
I tolerated the cursors in Theme Park and Theme Hospital on the PSone because even as a nipper I knew that these games had been ported from the PC and there was really no other way deliver them on Sony’s grey device. The Horde, too – one of my absolute all-time favourites on the ill-fated Panasonic 3DO – had...
Review Far Cry: New Dawn - Yeah, It's Okay
Jesus take the wheel
It's a cliche, but Far Cry: New Dawn is the video game equivalent of popcorn. Bits of it taste great, but most of it is just there to be consumed, free of expectation. You shovel it into your mouth and admittedly it can be difficult to stop until the bag is empty, but you'll barely remember eating it once you've sat down and had...
News Respawn Bans Over 16,000 Cheaters from Apex Legends, Plans to Add In-Game Report Feature
"Cheaters suck"
In an update to fans last week, the developer of the popular new battle royale title Apex Legends told fans its stance on cheaters.

It's unclear how many PlayStation 4 players are guilty of cheating, but...
News UK Sales Charts: Far Cry: New Dawn Takes the Lead Despite a Disappointing Debut
Beats out Metro: Exodus
Last week saw the arrival of a few new games, but it's Far Cry: New Dawn that takes the top spot at UK retail.

Evo Japan has a new champion
Arslan_Ash, a relatively unknown Kazumi player from Pakistan, just won the Tekken 7 tournament at Evo Japan 2019.

DLC Review Resident Evil 2's The Ghost Survivors Brings the Toughest Tests Yet to Raccoon City
Brutal difficulty and little story
It's hard to argue with free, but is this really the type of content we were hoping for from Resident Evil 2 post-launch? The Ghost Survivors was pitched as three non-canon 'what if' scenarios that focused on characters we've never had the chance to play as before, but in practice, they're really anything but. No...

Poll Do You Think Sony Is Telling the Truth About Cross-Play?
Open the gates
Ah, cross-play.

News ANTHEM Early Access Immediately Hit with Widespread Connection Issues
Bodes well for PS4 release next week
ANTHEM is available to play right now on PC and Xbox One, but only with EA's early access mumbo jumbo. Or at least, it would be, if it wasn't already plagued by connection issues. The web is currently rampant with complaints, forcing EA's official help accounts on social media to say that it's aware of the...
News Ubisoft Will Release Three or Four Major Games Before March 2020
Keep 'em coming
Ubisoft is obviously a massive player in the video game business, but we'd argue it's one of the publishers that's really improved over the course of this generation. Watch Dogs 2, Assassin's Creed Origins, and Far Cry 5 were all well received, pushing their respective franchises in different directions or to new heights. That looks...
Review Jump Force - What the Hell Did They Do to Goku?
Go ahead and jump
We've played some ugly anime games in our time, but there's a special place in art style hell for Jump Force. What should be a grand celebration of all things Jump, this crossover fighter is loathsome in its portrayal of the awesome manga and anime heroes that make up its character roster. Jump Force opts for a "realistic" visual...
Review Eden-Tomorrow - Lousy Gameplay Drags Down a Noteworthy Narrative
Just thinkin' about tomorrow
If it’s not an online focused multiplayer title, chances are the next PlayStation VR game you play is one that promises mystery, suspense, and intrigue as you explore a hostile alien world.

News Jump Force Load Time Improvements Promised in Upcoming Patch
Plus the option to skip cutscenes
The load times in Jump Force aren't good. You're booted to a rather lengthy load screen every time the game switches to a fight, or even a new cutscene. It all gets a bit tedious when you just want to blitz the title's story missions, but at least Bandai Namco is taking feedback on board. The publisher has hinted...

News Japanese Sales Charts: Kingdom Hearts 3 and Resident Evil 2 Drop Off the Top
A gradual decline
It's been another slow week for software sales in Japan, as Kingdom Hearts III and Resident Evil 2 have taken an inevitable tumble off the top after two weeks of reigning supreme.
