Beast of Reincarnation launched on PS5 last week, and while it has plenty of redeeming qualities, there are also some rough edges that bring it down a peg. Developer Game Freak has promised to make some pretty big updates to improve the experience, and the first patch has already arrived. It's available to download and...
News Game Freak Pledges 'Continuous Updates' for Beast of Reincarnation After Mixed Reception
It's evolving
This week saw the release of Beast of Reincarnation, from publisher Fictions and developer Game Freak. While I quite like the action RPG despite it having a few rough edges, it seems the reception has generally been quite mixed, with critics and players divided on various aspects. It seems like Game Freak is paying attention,...
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...

News Remember PS5 Launch Game Godfall? Its Developer Returns with a Slick Action Shooter
Armatus arrives this winter
Do you remember Godfall, the PS5 launch title that never really struck a chord with the console's early adopters? Well, its developer, Counterplay Games, has reappeared — and the team's bringing a new kind of action to Sony's system. The game's called Armatus, and it's a fast-paced action-shooter with an emphasis on...
News Pokémon Dev's New PS5 Game Might Be Slightly Cheaper Than Expected
Reportedly a $60 game
Pre-orders for Pokémon developer Game Freak's newest PS5 title, Beast of Reincarnation, will supposedly go live in the near future, and you may not need to pay quite as much money for it as you were probably expecting to. The ever-reliable Dealabs leaker BillBil-Kun has shared some details ahead of the public reveal — which...
News Pokémon Dev Game Freak Steps Up the Production Values for Beast of Reincarnation on PS5
Reincarnation, indeed
Pokémon fans may be giving Game Freak’s upcoming PS5 RPG Beast of Reincarnation some serious side-eye. The post-apocalyptic game – developed using Unreal Engine 5 – looks lightyears ahead of studio’s Nintendo-bound efforts, even if its art does border on a little generic. Pitched as a “one-person, one dog RPG”,...
News Returnal's Influence Expands with PS5 Roguelite Shooter ARMATUS
Viva la France
Returnal may not be the best-selling PS5 exclusive, but it’s attracted a slew of copycats. The latest of those looks to be ARMATUS, a roguelite third-person shooter launching in 2026. This game is set in the “demon-infested ruins of Paris”, which some would argue is just modern-day France. But we think the dev’s taking a few...

Gotta slash 'em all
That's right — Game Freak, the studio best known for the hugely popular Pokémon series, has just announced Beast of Reincarnation, an action RPG coming to PS5. The game looks like a pretty hardcore action RPG (potentially with some Soulslike tropes), and by your side will be a dog companion. Set in post-apocalyptic Japan,...
News LEGO Gives Mario Party a Blocky Makeover on PS5, PS4
Another brick in the wall
It’s surprising given the popularity of Mario Party that more companies haven’t tried to copy it. Obviously, you can’t beat the real thing, but considering Nintendo’s effort only exists on its own platforms, there’s surely mileage in some kind of multiformat adaptation. Anime Demon Slayer took a decent shot at...
