Review New Gundam Breaker (PS4)
Gundamned
"More like New Gundam Broken" started out as a dumb joke that we slung around the Push Square office after spending just 20 minutes or so with this latest mech-'em-up from Bandai Namco, but here we are 20 hours later and nothing has changed. New Gundam Breaker is a disappointing wreck of a release, and yet another...
News Ni no Kuni II PS4 Patch 1.03 Adds Harder Difficulty Levels
And better loot
When it launched earlier in the year, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom was criticised by many for being a tad too easy.

News Code Vein Release Date Set for Already Stuffed September
Bloody hell
Code Vein has a release date on PlayStation 4. Bandai Namco's action role-playing title takes heavy inspiration from the likes of Dark Souls and mixes it with a bit of God Eater.
