Oh boy
It took some time, but God of War Ragnarok is here, and we think it's glorious. Sony's latest blockbuster was awarded an exceedingly rare Push Square 10/10 in our full God of War Ragnarok PS5 review, and the title commands one of the highest overall Metacritic scores of the last few years. It's fair to say that it's been a critical hit. And...

But would find no shame in more God of War
Santa Monica Studio has just wrapped up God of War Ragnarok, which is attracting rave reviews, so it would be naïve to expect something new from the studio soon.

Vaseline filter removed
There was much excitement for The Crew 2’s long-in-development 60fps update for PS5, but the results fell significantly short of expectations. While the game was stable in Performance Mode on Sony’s new-gen system, the resolution dipped to PS3 era numbers, resulting in some disappointingly washed-out visuals. That’s...

"I would not speak of this"
There are tons and tons of little Easter eggs in God of War Ragnarok – pay close attention to the poems you find, for example – but this nod to PS3 mascot mash-up PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is fairly easy to overlook.

News Sonic Frontiers Director Acknowledges Feedback, 'We Still Have a Long Way to Go'
Slow your roll
Sonic Frontiers is out now and in the wild, and our own thoughts on the matter are that the game itself is great but has a few rough edges, primarily technical.
