The sun is shining
The sun is absolutely blasting right now, so there's never been a better time to pull the curtains shut and play some video games. Here's what's keeping us busy.

Boast of Yotei
Thanks to its dedicated State of Play showing, we now have a much better understanding of what Ghost of Yotei's trying to achieve, from both a sequel perspective and as a modern open world adventure.

The big gameplay reveal
PlayStation is finally ready to give us an in-depth look at Ghost of Yotei via a dedicated State of Play broadcast.

Developer Sucker Punch has lined up around 20 minutes of gameplay for us to...
Preview Way of the Sword Reforges Onimusha for a New PS5 Era
Lookin' sharp
Would it be lazy to compare Onimusha: Way of the Sword to Dark Souls? Probably, but after seeing Capcom’s latest character action adventure in motion for approximately 20 minutes, we can’t help but sink into FromSoftware shorthand. The reality is that the likes of Elden Ring have had such an overwhelming influence on the genre,...
Round Up Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 PS5 Reviews Say Shove-It to the Sceptics
A worthy grind
If you grew up with a PlayStation in the late 90s and early 00s, then chances are you had a Tony Hawk game. For this author, it was the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, but many of you may have jumped in with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 on the PS2. Wherever you did your first virtual kickflip, there’s a good chance this franchise...
Game of the Month Death Stranding 2 (June 2025)
As voted by you
June marked what was probably the quietest month of the year so far in terms of new releases. Outside of the obvious event that was Death Stranding 2, big budget titles were basically nonexistent. But to say that June lacked quality would be doing it a disservice. Rematch, for example — the addictive arcade-y soccer sim from Sifu...

War does change after all
Sony is bringing Helldivers 2 to Xbox consoles roughly 18 months after its release, in a move that signals another unexpected strategy shift in an industry that never stands still. It’s not the first PlayStation game to launch on Microsoft’s machines, as MLB The Show ripped that band aid off earlier in the generation...

Poll 15 Years of PS Plus - What Do You Think of Sony's Subscription Service?
Plus size
Here's a factoid that makes us feel incredibly old: PS Plus has just celebrated 15 years since its inception. We know, it's almost hard to believe, but Sony's PlayStation-based subscription service has been around since 2010. Originally launching on the PS3, PS Plus was a much different beast back then. For starters, a subscription...
Opinion Diablo 4's Story Campaign Is Well Worth Playing on PS Plus
Who needs an endgame?
A lot of people will tell you that Diablo 4 is crap. But when people take a dump on Blizzard's latest, they're usually referring to the title's endgame grind — something that the developer's really struggled to balance and refine ever since the game's launch roughly two years back. Diablo 4's reputation is in tatters these...

Talking Point Is It Officially Game Over for PSVR2?
Facing reality
This week, Beat Saber developer Beat Games announced it was cutting support for the PSVR2 and PSVR versions of its popular rhythm action game.

It's been a busy six months
We're basically halfway into 2025, and that can only mean one thing... it's time to start thinking about Game of the Year (kind of)!

Preview Borderlands 4 Leans into All Its Best, Familiar Strengths on PS5
Our thoughts after three hours of play
Video game developers love a trilogy, so when one keeps going and adds a number four to the title, it can also work like a statement: we're not done yet.

Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for June 2025?
Plus or minus?
Oh boy. We're going to be real with you for a minute: we can't see these polls being particularly positive.
