Darn shootin'
With the success of Deathloop last year, the comeback of immersive sims from their late 90s/early 2000s heyday seems to be in full swing. Through dogged determination and fantastic game design, Arkane Studios has almost single-handedly revived the genre a decade after releasing the first Dishonored title.

News Great Action RPG Ys 8 Is Being Ported to PS5 This Autumn
Ys please
Originally a PS Vita title, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is, in our humble opinion, one of the best and most well rounded instalments in Falcom's long running action RPG series. It was ported to PlayStation 4 in 2017, and that version still runs great — but that isn't stopping NIS America from re-releasing the game again on PS5...

Mini Review Agent Intercept (PS5) - Modern Spy Hunter Is Shallow But Satisfying Fun
Mission absolutely possible
Agent Intercept is an extremely accessible game, but that's not to say it doesn't deliver some thrills and spills.
