Video What Are Your Favourite Video Game Worlds?
A digital frontier
Over the last month, I’ve been taking my time with a replay of Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s the first time I’ve revisited it since completing it for the first time around 2020. Not that you really needed any reminding that this is a video game on an entirely different level from many others, but I’ve really been struck by...
News Oh Great, Even Moonlighter 2 Has Settled on a September PS5 Release Date
At least there's a demo out now
Are Digital Sun and 11 Bit Studios having a laugh? As if next month's release schedule wasn't already stupid enough, they've decided to drop Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault on the 2nd September for PS5. This dungeon-crawling sequel's been in early access since November of last year. Version 1.0 will signal its full...

Review Beast of Reincarnation (PS5) - Pokémon Dev's Flower Power Action RPG Is Nearly in Full Bloom
Plantses with wolves
Beast of Reincarnation presents itself like a Souls-like action RPG, and it definitely shares some traits with games of that ilk, but I think labelling it that way isn't quite accurate. It is an action RPG, but it's not as intimidatingly difficult as FromSoftware's efforts, and it's doing enough stuff of its own that makes it...
Reminder The PS5 Release Schedule Is About to Become the Busiest It's Ever Been
GTA 6 is to blame
We're now a few days into August 2026, which means that the pre-GTA 6 games avalanche is underway. It only gets more and more insane from here, folks. I've written about this before, but now that it's actually here, I think it's worth reiterating just how mental the PS5 release schedule is over the next three months or so. It's...
News Mafia: The Old Country's PS5 DLC Will Expand on Sicily's Scope
Salieri's back
Mafia: The Old Country was a solid single player story game – but releasing as a cheaper game did clip its wings a little at launch. Hangar 13’s hugely improved on the endgame offering with its Free Ride content a little after launch, and it looks like upcoming expansion Man of Honor is going to seriously bolster the amount of...
News Announced for PS5 at State of Play, Gothic Action RPG Crimson Moon Finally Has a Release Date
And it's soon
Crimson Moon, a cool-looking, gothic-styled action RPG that was announced for PS5 during February's State of Play broadcast, has finally locked in its release date. Previously, the title was down for a vague 'September' launch, but now it's fully committed to the 1st September. It'll be here before you know it. Developer...
News Retro Beat-'Em-Up Bros, This PS5 Brawler Based on The Walking Dead Looks All Right
Streets of survival
I’ve always enjoyed retro beat-’em-ups, and the genre has enjoyed a bit of a renaissance in the last few years, with games like Marvel Cosmic Invasion and TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. I don’t expect The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival to be anywhere near as good as those two, but it does look like it’ll scratch an itch,...
News This Year's EA Sports FC Is Definitely Different, and I'm Eager to See How It's Received
Grounds-breaking
EA Sports invited me to watch its various preview presentations for FC 27, which is launching officially on 25th September. But among all the usual buzzwords about advanced defensive AI and improved off-the-ball runs, I was most compelled to learn about The Grounds, the game’s new social sandbox mode, which will only be available...

News This Famicom Era Shooter, Coming to PS5, Looks Like It Totally Slaps
Out this week
Changeable Guardian ESTIQUE released for the Famicom in 2024, so it’s an all-new game designed specifically for 8-bit hardware. But if you don’t want to deal with Nintendo’s 80s appliance and would rather just play this title on a contemporary console you own, it’s coming to the PS5 this week, with some bells-and-whistles like...
One kiss
The Trails series is no stranger to cliffhangers. In fact, you could argue that developer Falcom's a little too keen on them, given how many of its games end on a truly insane note. But there's always been one particular cliffhanger that's stayed with longtime fans of the franchise. Obviously I'm going to veer into spoiler territory here,...

News These New Xbox Prices Are Truly Terrifying for PS6
This is just getting silly now
Sony indicated in its most recent financial report that the PS5’s price should hold until at least April 2027, as it’s secured the memory inventory required to fulfil its hardware targets for the current fiscal year. If that’s the case, then despite prices soaring dramatically earlier this year, it’s going to...

News Attack on Titan 3 Avoids the GTA 6 Chaos on PS5, Locks in December Release Date
Beyond the walls
Attack on Titan 3 will indeed release this year — but it's not going to get into a fight with GTA 6, or any of the many PS5 games that are launching in September and October. Instead, it's opted for a 10th December date, which seems like a pretty wise decision to me. This upcoming adaptation from publisher Koei Tecmo and...

Marvel's Wolverine launches next month, which feels as though it's really crept up. In a few weeks' time, we'll be playing the next superhero adventure from Insomniac Games, which is quite exciting. While we've seen a bit of gameplay and a couple of decent trailers now, the action game is still wrapped in mystery. That being...
FITS and starts
Arguably the biggest surprise of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation's full reveal back in June was the confirmation of a job system, allowing players to customise Cloud and co. to better suit their needs on the battlefield. But we didn't learn all that much about said system. All we got was a brief explanation of 'FITS' — Function...
News Sony's Imminent Marvel Fighting Game Is Off to a Very Strong Start on the Competitive Scene
X-Factor
A healthy competitive scene can transform a good fighting game into something special. While not every fighter has to resonate with hardcore players in order to rack up sales — just look at the last couple of Mortal Kombat titles — games that manage to establish and cultivate a strong following of relatively serious players tend to be...
News Street Fighter 6's New Season Is Underway on PS5 Now, Even if It All Feels a Bit Low-Key
Balance changes also out now
Perhaps it’s because my focus has been on Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls of late, but I don’t feel like there’s much hype for Street Fighter 6’s new season at all. Yasmine is out today, kickstarting the uber-popular fighter’s Year 4 Character Pass, with more fighters to follow, including Final Fantasy’s Tifa...

News This Cutesy PS5 Cosy Game Really Stands Out in a Crowded Genre
Anime-esque slice-of-life
There is no shortage of cosy games on the PS5. You could probably exclusively play that genre, and still find enough content to keep you occupied until the end of the generation. But in a crowded market, I do think the Ghibli-inspired Starsand Island stands out. It’s launching on 18th August. This anime life sim has all...
