Review Dishonored: Death of the Outsider (PS4)
Lurking around
The immersive sim is one of the most rewarding genres in gaming. The more you put into them, the more you get in return, and the Dishonored series is one of the best examples of this in recent years. Death of the Outsider is a smaller scale adventure at around half the length of 2016’s Dishonored 2, but it retains the same brilliant...
News The Masterpiece That Is Final Fantasy IX Is Coming to PS4
Vivi voom
The Tokyo Game Show 2017 hype has started almost nine hours early. According to a European rating spotted by Gematsu, Final Fantasy IX -- a game considered by many to be the best entry in the series -- is being ported to PlayStation 4. In our opinion, the PSone title is nothing less than a masterpiece. Final Fantasy IX was...
News Cross-Console Play Between PS4 and Xbox One Was Reality for a Few Hours
Error enables platforms to play together
The whole cross-console conversation has become increasingly tedious since E3 2017, with Microsoft eager to repeat that it’s open to the idea, and Sony casually shutting discussions down – often with silly justifications. But in an interesting twist, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players were actually united...
News Code Vein Looks a Little Bit Naff in New Boss Gameplay
Something something Dark Souls
We like the idea behind Code Vein, but we're yet to see any footage that really makes us excited to play it. Unfortunately, this latest boss fight gameplay does nothing for us either. When the project was first revealed, it was described as anime Dark Souls, and as much as we hate to compare anything to From Software's...
News It Looks Like Gearbox Has Finally Given Up on Battleborn
The battle's lost
In a statement that surely no one saw coming, Gearbox has said that it won't be providing any more support for Battleborn going forward. In an official forum post, creative director Randy Varnell wrote "as of this week, there will be no more Battleplans and there is currently no planned content after the Fall Update. Details of any...
Hands On Dragon Ball FighterZ Could End Up Being One of the Best Anime Fighters Ever
Just Saiyan
There have been a lot of Dragon Ball titles over the years, but only a handful of them can be considered truly good games. Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3 immediately springs to mind, and the much more recent Dragon Ball XenoVerse series is no slouch, either. Again, good games, but then that opens the case on another question...
News UK Sales Charts: NBA 2K18 Leapfrogs PES 2018 at Launch
Hoopin' mad
This is crazy: basketball simulation NBA 2K18 has charted higher than footie follow-up PES 2018: Pro Evolution Soccer on the UK sales charts. While there’s unlikely to be much difference between the two titles, and Konami’s soccer sequel did much better on the PlayStation 4 than it did on the Xbox One, it’s still an unexpected...
Review PES 2018: Pro Evolution Soccer (PS4)
YES
The fact that the box of PES 2018 has a Barcelona shirt-touting Neymar emblazoned on the front may seem like a bad omen for a series that, in the past few years, has often had trouble staying up-to-date. Pretty much every PES game on PS4 has had a troubled launch, taking months to update lineups to reflect the summer transfer window - but this...
News Divinity: Original Sin 2 Dev Isn't Talking About PS4 Version Just Yet
Focusing on PC launch
Divinity: Original Sin 2 has just hit PC, but according to a quick interview with Eurogamer, developer Larian Studios isn't quite ready to talk about the PlayStation 4 version just yet.

News Two Norse Dwarfs Will Upgrade Your Arsenal in God of War
Blacksmith buddies
God of War’s progression system has been more or less the same across six or seven games: you collect red orbs, feed them to your weapon of choice, and reap the rewards. However, the series’ forthcoming PlayStation 4 soft-reboot will handle things a little differently. According to an article in Official PlayStation Magazine...
News Grand Theft Auto V Is The Best-Selling Game of All Time
In the US, anyway
Grand Theft Auto V is the best-selling game of all time, according to American sales tracking organisation NPD. Now there are some caveats here: this only applies to the United States, so there may be titles that have historically performed better – though it’s perhaps worth noting that Rockstar’s opus finished second in...
Shocking
Sparc is a virtual reality version of Pong with Tron-like visuals. In a way, it's very similar to PlayStation VR Worlds' Danger Ball. You face off against an opponent, each standing at opposite ends of a long empty corridor, and you must throw a ball at your opponent in order to score points. That's the basic...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 186
Winter blues
Anyone else feel like winter’s embrace has arrived all of a sudden? It’s been absolutely freezing here in the UK this week, and a torrential downpour is battering Push Square Towers as we type this.

Feature Taking a Look at Destiny 2's Best Story Mission
Get in, get out
Naturally, this article contains some slight spoilers with regards to Destiny 2's main campaign. Destiny 2 has a much, much better campaign than its predecessor.

News PS4 Games Half Price in European Weekend Sale
Prey is just £19.99
A handful of big PlayStation 4 games are half-price this weekend, including Persona 5 (£39.99) and FIFA 17 (£11.99). The latter’s a really good price – but it is marred by the fact that FIFA 18 is like a fortnight away. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare can be yours for £19.99, but it’s cheaper from retailers like Amazon...
News Destiny 2 Is the PlayStation Store's Biggest Ever Day One Launch
Destined to go digital
Destiny 2 has clearly been a hit for Activision, but the extent of the game's success has been hard to read thus far. Physical sales are down on the first game in both the UK and Japan, and we assume that the same has happened in North America, although we don't have those numbers just yet

News A Wild PS4 Firmware Update 4.74 Appears
Stable as a table
Sony has released a new PlayStation 4 firmware update – and no, it’s not the underwhelming 5.00 just yet.
