Poll What Review Score Would You Give Silent Hill F?
Silent contemplation
Silent Hill F has been out on PS5 for just over a week now, and for the sake of this poll, we're hoping that you've managed to roll credits on at least one of the game's endings. Yep, we want you to rate Silent Hill F — and we're super interested in seeing what kind of review scores it ends up getting. That's because this is...
Poll Are You Playing Ghost of Yotei?
A mountain to climb
It's a damn good time to be a fan of tense sword fights and open world settings, because Ghost of Yotei has finally arrived on PS5. The sequel to 2020's Ghost of Tsushima, it's almost hard to believe that it's been more than five whole years since Sucker Punch gave us the story of Jin Sakai. Yotei opts for a more freeform...
Poll Are You Playing Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles?
A tactical approach
Many have called it the most influential strategy RPG of all time... and now, decades removed from its original PS1 debut, Final Fantasy Tactics has returned. And according to reviews, it's a glorious comeback. The Ivalice Chronicles isn't some kind of ground-up remake, but it is a very carefully considered remaster, packing new...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for October 2025?
Plus or minus?
October's always an interesting time for PS Plus, as subscribers tend to be looking towards increasingly busy release schedules and, of course, Halloween celebrations. Fortunately, Sony's understood the assignment on that latter point, as Alan Wake 2 is the undisputed headline act of next month's offering. Remedy's often insane...
Poll Are You Playing Silent Hill F?
F marks the spot
It's taken what feels like an eternity, but we finally have a brand new Silent Hill game to talk about. Silent Hill F is out now on PS5, and we want to know if you're creeping you way through this suitably horrible adventure. Pushing a new direction for the series with a greater focus on combat — and even some RPG elements —...
Poll How Would You Rate State of Play for September 2025?
Have your say on the latest PS5 show
TGS is here, and Sony has put on a State of Play livestream to coincide with it. The firm's September showcases have generally been the biggest for the year, so it's safe to say expectations were higher for this event compared to others. Going into the show, we knew Saros would be there with five minutes of...
Poll Are You Playing Borderlands 4?
Loot to kill
It's always felt like Borderlands divides opinion; you either love it, or you hate it — that kind of thing. But there's also no getting away from the fact that this is a blockbuster series, always racking up huge sales figures with each instalment. And we assume that'll also be the case with the newly released Borderlands 4. The...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for September 2025?
Plus or minus?
After August's PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium offering seemed to go down really well with subscribers, we're very interested in seeing whether September's selection can match the hype. Honestly, we're guessing that it won't. That's not to say that we think September's lineup is bad — it's just lacking the kind of mainstream...
Poll Did You Buy a PS1 at Launch?
Flashback to 30 years ago
Allow us to apologise in advance for writing an article that's going to make some of you feel extremely old, but we just can't ignore the fact that the PS1 — the original PlayStation console — is now 30 years old (in North America and Europe). How time flies. This was the machine that changed everything, transforming...
Game of the Month Metal Gear Solid Delta (August 2025)
As voted by you
Following on from a couple of quieter months in June and July, we're really starting to see the release schedule kick into high gear on PS5. At least for people like us, who are in the business of reviewing games, August was a much busier month. A selection of anticipated titles dropped on Sony's current-gen console, and we ended up...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Metal Gear Solid Delta?
Delta skelter
Well, the original Metal Gear Solid 3 is one of the highest rated PS2 games ever released, so it's safe to say that its PS5 remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta, has big shoes to fill. Delta got off to a great start with critics, commanding some of the highest review scores of 2025 so far, but it feels as though the remake didn't hit quite...
Poll Are You Playing Hollow Knight: Silksong?
This is not a drill
If you can even believe that such a thing is possible, Hollow Knight: Silksong has arrived. Yes, that Silksong, the Hollow Knight sequel that's been in development for 1,000 years. In truth, it's been a whirlwind couple of weeks. Silksong hit us with a teaser during Geoff Keighley's Gamescom Opening Night Live, and then it...
Poll Are You Sold on 007 First Light?
Let there be Light
PlayStation's just given us a lengthy look at 007 First Light thanks to a dedicated State of Play broadcast, but as always, we want to know your thoughts on what was shown. In case you haven't been keeping up, this is the James Bond outing from Hitman developer IO Interactive, and while the project clearly shares some DNA with...
Poll What Are Your Thoughts on Metal Gear Solid 5, 10 Years Later?
The biggest Boss
Ten whole years ago today, Hideo Kojima released his final game under the Konami umbrella. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain endured an infamously tumultuous development cycle, and the finished product still divides opinion a full decade from launch. In many ways, The Phantom Pain was meant to cap the iconic series off, but in...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for September 2025?
Plus or minus?
The base PS Plus Essential tier of Sony's subscription service has picked up some steam over the past few months, with a strong streak of monthly PS5, PS4 games for members to play. Does the September 2025 keep the momentum going? That's what this Poll is designed to find out. From Tuesday, 2nd September, you can redeem and download...
Poll Are You Playing Metal Gear Solid Delta?
Not for honour, but for you
Metal Gear Solid 3 is widely considered an all-time classic, and so it's easy to understand the excitement surrounding Metal Gear Solid Delta, in all of its remade glory. Crafted by Virtuos, the same (massive) third-party company that brought us The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered earlier in the year, Delta is out...
Poll Are You Playing Gears of War: Reloaded on PS5?
Welcome to the endgame
What a weird timeline we live in. Today marks the release of Gears of War: Reloaded... on PlayStation. Or PS5, to be more specific. Once an uncontested bastion of the Xbox brand, the original Gears of War set an all-new bar for third-person shooters back in the day. Here we are close to two decades later, however, and we're...
Poll How Would You Rate Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025?
Were your expectations met or not?
That's another Gamescom Opening Night Live for the record books, as Geoff Keighley hosted a roughly two-hour show packed full of gaming news and announcements. Some of the biggest headline reveals included Lords of the Fallen 2, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, and the brand new game Black Myth: Zhong Kui...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for August 2025?
Plus or minus?
Alright, we don't want to jump the gun, but we've got a feeling that August 2025's PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium offering might be voted one of the year's best. For the second month in a row, Extra is made up of some really highly rated titles. Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered spearheads the selection, and it's followed by Mortal...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Mafia: The Old Country?
Make us an offer
It's been a long wait for a new Mafia game; it feels like it's been an age since Mafia 3 divided opinion. But does Mafia: The Old Country succeed in getting the largely beloved series back on track? That's for you to decide. Sporting a a much more linear campaign than what was offered in Lincoln Clay's sandbox outing, The Old...
Game of the Month Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound (July 2025)
As voted by you
Man, if you thought June was quiet, wait until we recap the PS5 games that came out in July! Okay, that's a bit harsh. July actually had a fairly busy release schedule — it's just that there were very few heavy hitters in the mix. As such, last month was a good time to be a fan of indie titles, with a glut of smaller games...
Poll Are You Playing the Battlefield 6 Beta?
Locked and loaded
It's a big day for Battlefield fans, as the once revered first-person shooter series makes its anticipated return. Battlefield 6 has an awful lot going for it. Many would say that the franchise has had more downs than ups in recent years, but this new entry already seems to have plugged a huge hole in the military shooter market...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for August 2025?
Plus or minus?
Has 2025 been a good year for PS Plus Essential so far? We'd certainly argue that the service has been on a solid run for at least a few months now, and August's offering is mostly strong as well. Without a doubt, this month's biggest draw is Lies of P — t
Poll Which Characters Do You Want to Join the Roster of Marvel Tokon on PS5, PC?
Marvelous
As a four-on-four fighter, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is going to require a massive roster of characters. The good news is that dev Arc System Works will have a wealth of superheroes and supervillains to choose from. Ahead of Evo, which is guaranteed to bring new announcements for the upcoming PS5 and PC brawler, we’ve assembled a...
Poll 5 Years Later, What Do You Think of Ghost of Tsushima?
Fight with honour
Five years ago today (well, technically yesterday — sorry we're a bit late on this one), Sony released Ghost of Tsushima as a PS4 exclusive. A real departure from the inFAMOUS games in terms of style and tone, Ghost of Tsushima was PlayStation Studios' Sucker Punch expressing its love for all things samurai cinema. Featuring a...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for July 2025?
Plus or minus?
Another ten titles are being added across PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium this month, and as always, we want to know if you're happy with that Sony's offering. There's no doubt that Extra is getting all the headlines this time around. The middle tier of the subscription service is serving up a varied mix of eight titles — but...
Poll Are You Sold on Ghost of Yotei?
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 broadcast, which lasted roughly 20 minutes, gave us an in-depth look at all kinds of gameplay systems and mechanics. We think the...
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...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Death Stranding 2?
Special delivery
We hope you've been having fun trotting around the atmospheric landscapes of Death Stranding 2 over the last week or so, because it's time to give Kojima Productions' latest a rating of your own. Needless to say, this globe-trotting PS5 sequel has been really well received, both by critics and fans of the first game. The original...
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...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for July 2025?
Plus or minus?
The summer months are officially upon us here in the UK, but is July's PS Plus Essential offering good enough to keep you away from the sunshine? That's what we're here to find out! Three PS5 titles are up for grabs next month, with Diablo 4 being the headline act. Blizzard's action RPG was highly anticipated ahead of its release...
Poll Are You Playing Death Stranding 2?
Death stanning
Didn't have your fill of trekking across atmospheric landscapes in Death Stranding? You're probably sprinting straight into Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, which just so happens to be out now on PS5. As soon as the reviews dropped earlier in the week, Kojima Productions' latest became one of the year's highest rated games. Critics...
Poll How Do You Feel About The Last of Us Part 2, 5 Years Later?
Hate begets hate
Having first released on the 19th June 2020, The Last of Us Part 2 is officially five years old — but does it remain one of the most divisive releases in PlayStation history? Originally an incredibly high profile PS4 exclusive, the expectations surrounding Naughty Dog's big budget sequel were colossal. It was, after all,...
Talking Point What's Your PS5 Game of the Year for 2025 So Far?
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)! Look, things tend to be pretty quiet during these summer months, and so we always think it's worth taking a step back and appreciating the titles that have already struck a chord. You never...
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. In fact, going by the reactions we've seen online — and in our own comments sections — this might just be one of the worst PS Plus Extra and Premium updates yet. But let's at least recap what's on offer. Extra subscribers...
Talking Point What Are Your Most Anticipated PS5 Games for the Second Half of 2025?
Don't stop now
It's been a strong year for PS5 gaming so far. Over the first six months or so of 2025, we've had the pleasure of playing some very high quality titles — and even a few genuine Game of the Year contenders. But now that we're well into June, it's time to start looking ahead to the second half of the year — and not just because...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Elden Ring Nightreign?
Embrace the night
Is Elden Ring Nightreign FromSoftware's most divisive Souls game yet? Probably, and that's what makes our latest ratings poll so interesting... Released for PS5 a couple of weeks back, Nightreign (which, admittedly, we keep spelling incorrectly for some reason) is a co-op-focused escapade, where up to three friends — or...
Poll How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest 2025?
Have your say on Keighley's show
Another year has passed, but Geoff Keighley remains. The personality turned video game showcase host again returned to LA to put on a Summer Game Fest live show, which promised roughly two hours of reveals and announcements. In terms of PS5 news, the biggest headliners were Resident Evil Requiem, the shadow drop of...
Poll What Were Your Favourite PS5 Games from State of Play? (June 2025)
The big one before SGF
Sony treated us to what we think was a very good State of Play just ahead of Summer Game Fest. There were some pretty big announcements in this one, and although there was perhaps a lack of PlayStation first-party news, we can't help but feel that it was a well paced event. But what about the games themselves? As has become...
Game of the Month DOOM: The Dark Ages (May 2025)
As voted by you
May was another surprisingly busy month here in the land of PlayStation. Sure, it may not have boasted the same kind of heavy hitters that April enjoyed, but a broad range of new releases still kept us on our toes. The biggest name, we suppose, was DOOM: The Dark Ages. Concerns over commercial success aside, the crunching...
Poll How Would You Rate State of Play for June 2025?
Share your reaction to the latest PS5 showcase
Despite its last-minute announcement, Sony still decided to host a State of Play livestream for June 2025, fitting in with the rest of the summer gaming showcases. It promised just over 40 minutes of PS5 announcements, and that's exactly what it delivered on. The headline reveals were a Marvel fighting...
Talking Point What Are Your PS5 Predictions for Summer Game Fest 2025?
Tell us your hopes and dreams
Summer Game Fest is almost upon us once again, more or less supplanting E3 (RIP) with a big, splashy showcase and a ton of coverage on upcoming games. Geoff Keighley's been rehearsing his sneakers off for the season's biggest video game event, we assume, getting ready to present to us some hot new announcements and...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for June 2025?
Plus or minus?
The PS Plus Essential games for June 2025 have been confirmed, and as always, we're here to gather your thoughts — positive or negative. Once again, this is a selection that we can see being quite divisive — and not just because there's a sports title headlining the list. Yep, NBA 2K25 is the big addition for June, a basketball...
Poll Do You Care About the Death of PS Stars?
Burning out
So, PlayStation Stars is going the way of the dodo — but how much do you actually care about its demise? The rewards program was first announced in 2022 before being rolled out to numerous regions over the course of several months. Basically, Stars was (technically still is) a loyalty scheme, offering extras to users who stay engaged...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give DOOM: The Dark Ages?
DOOMed?
The third game in the so-called modern DOOM trilogy, DOOM: The Dark Ages has been out for just over a week now, and we want to know what you think of this brutal shield-driven shooter. id Software's latest was met with rock solid reviews prior to launch, with critics praising its typically punchy gunplay and satisfying flow. However, The...
Poll 10 Years Later, What Are Your Thoughts on The Witcher 3?
The way the wind howls
Ten years is a long time. An awful lot can happen in such a span, but we think one constant has remained since this day all the way back in 2015: The Witcher 3 is still an incredible video game. First released on the 19th May 2015, the third title in CD Projekt Red's series took the gaming world by storm. It was met with rave...
Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for May 2025?
Plus or minus?
Look, we don't want to colour your opinion right off the bat, but we've seen more than a few people calling this PS Plus Extra and Premium update one of the worst yet. More specifically, subscribers really don't seem to be pleased with Premium's offering of just one PS2 port in Battle Engine Aquila — a game that most paying...
Poll Are You Playing DOOM: The Dark Ages?
Hell yes or Hell no?
The big games just keep dropping here in 2025, and DOOM: The Dark Ages is the latest potential blockbuster to grace us with its bloodied presence. It's been almost four whole years since DOOM Eternal let players shred through the forces of hell, and while The Dark Ages does introduce a number of new concepts and gameplay...
Poll Which Bethesda RPG Needs an Oblivion-Style Remaster Next?
We dare you to say Skyrim
With the immediate success of Oblivion Remastered, there's absolutely no doubt that Bethesda will be contemplating similar projects for the future — that is, if they're not already in the works. Developer Virtuos has proven that it can be trusted with such a task, and so we're left wondering what's next. After all,...
Talking Point What Do You Think of the PS5 Pro, Six Months Later?
Part of the Pro-cess
It's been (just over) six months since the release of Sony's most expensive ever console, the PS5 Pro. Before the system was released in November of last year, many questioned its existence. There's no doubt that this has been a weird console generation, initially impacted by the covid pandemic and taking a lot of time to...
