    Plus or minus?

    13 more PS5, PS4, and Classic games will be making their way to PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium on Tuesday, with much of the reaction from the official announcement focusing on the strong line-up of retro titles Sony has put together for the drop. General highlights include Remnant 2, Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, and some...

  • Talking Point What Are Your Thoughts on the Concord PS5, PC Beta?

    Fight or flight?

    Sony's online multiplayer shooter, Concord, is currently going through an open beta, allowing the public to check out the game prior to launch in August.

    Halfway there

    Now that we're officially halfway through 2024, it's time to take a look back at all of the PS5 games we've played so far this year and decide on the current Game of the Year contenders. From where we're sitting, it's been a solid six months, which have offered up some fantastic titles across a range of genres. In order to talk things...

  • Poll Are You Playing Zenless Zone Zero?

    Zzz or ZZZ?

    Yet another gacha-based craze is currently sweeping PlayStation in the form of Zenless Zone Zero — an action RPG with a quirky futuristic setting. This is the latest release from ridiculously prolific developer HoYoverse, and we'd bet on it making the company a whole lotta money. HoYoverse is the Chinese outfit behind fellow...

  • Poll Are You Playing The First Descendant?

    First!

    After what feels like an age of alpha and beta testing periods, The First Descendant has finally arrived on PS5. This free-to-play looter shooter is a little bit like a third-person Destiny, but instead of creating your own protagonist, you select playable heroes from a roster. Each of them is equipped with their own specialisations and...

  • Poll Are You Playing Stellar Blade?

    Parry time

    Stellar Blade, the latest PS5 exclusive, is out now on Sony's current-gen console. This is a big budget, out-and-out action game — something of a rarity these days — and it's been met with a slew of high scoring reviews. Needless to say, a lot of PlayStation fans have been waiting for this one. We called it a "stellar PS5 debut" for...

  • Poll Are You Playing Fallout 4's Next-Gen Version?

    Have you seen my son?

    First announced in 2022, the next-gen version of Fallout 4 is finally here — and it's no coincidence that its release roughly aligns with the arrival of Amazon's Fallout series. The post-apocalyptic property is once again a big deal — almost a decade after Fallout 4's original release — and so we want to know if you're...

  • Poll Are You Playing Final Fantasy 16: The Rising Tide?

    Making waves

    The second and final expansion for Final Fantasy 16, titled The Rising Tide, is out now on PS5 — and if you can believe it, we're fast approaching the base game's first anniversary. But such a realisation has made us wonder... Are you returning to Final Fantasy 16 in order to play through this new DLC? Or could it be that the...

    16 more games are heading to PS Plus through the Extra and Premium tiers this month, and as is often the case, there's quite a lot of variety on show.

  • Talking Point What's Your Favourite PS5 Game of 2024 So Far?

    It's been a wild few months

    And just like that, the first quarter of 2024 is over. Done. Finished. But what a quarter it's been! The release schedule had us scrambling to review a crazy number of high profile titles, but now that we've emerged victorious, we'd like to take a moment to reflect on our favourite PS5 games of the year... so far. Now...

  • Poll How Much Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?

    Frame trapped

    Ah, the great debate. Does 60 frames-per-second really make a difference? Well, yes, it objectively does, but do you personally care about having the option in current-gen games? That's what we're here to find out. Frame rates have long been a talking point when it comes to console gaming, but every now and then, the conversation...

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give Dragon's Dogma 2?

    Rock the dragon

    Dragon's Dogma 2 dropped to impressively high review scores last month, earning Capcom yet another hit with critics — but now that it's been out for a little while, we want to know what you think of this open world RPG. Indeed, player opinion seems to be a bit more divided, although we're well aware that some people have been...

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give Rise of the Ronin?

    On the rise

    Rise of the Ronin has been out for just over a week now, and so we want to know what you think of Team Ninja's open world action RPG. Published by Sony itself, this PS5 exclusive was met with somewhat divided reviews, and so currently sits at a 76 on Metacritic. User impressions have been more lenient overall, but it's still hard to...

  • Poll Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for April 2024?

    Plus or minus?

    April's PS Plus Essential games have been officially announced, and as per usual, we're looking at three titles spread across PS5 and PS4. At a glance, however, we're tempted to say that this is one of the weaker months in recent memory. We start with Immortals of Aveum. A decent game by almost all accounts, but this magical shooter...

  • Poll Are You Playing the Stellar Blade Demo?

    Live by the blade

    Out now on PS5, the Stellar Blade demo offers up the first hour-and-a-bit of the Sony-published action title.

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give Unicorn Overlord?

    Far from over(lord)

    We're a bit late with this one, but we still want to know your thoughts on one of this month's best games. We are, of course, talking about Unicorn Overlord — the strategy RPG from Vanillaware. The title was always going to be somewhat niche in terms of appeal, but those who have played it will know how finely crafted an...

  • Talking Point How Do You Feel About the PS5 Pro?

    Pro strats

    Although it's yet to be officially announced, we all know that the PS5 Pro is real, and it's likely dropping later this year. A mid-gen upgrade on the PS5, Sony will probably position the refreshed console as another premium product — something that it's been doing throughout the generation so far, with stuff like PS Portal and the...

  • Poll Are You Playing Rise of the Ronin?

    Rise up

    The latest game from Nioh studio Team Ninja, Rise of the Ronin is a PS5 exclusive, complete with Sony's backing. While it does continue the developer's run of creating challenging action RPGs, Ronin is set within a sprawling open world — which is a first for the team. Critic reviews have been slightly mixed. In our own Rise of the Ronin...

  • Poll Are You Playing Dragon's Dogma 2?

    Take heart

    It's finally here. 12 years after the release of the original Dragon's Dogma, Capcom has launched Dragon's Dogma 2. A much larger sequel built with a budget that probably dwarfs its predecessor's, the action RPG has been met with incredibly positive reviews — but it's also taking a beating over poor technical performance and its...

  • Poll Are You Playing Hi-Fi Rush?

    What a rush

    Originally an Xbox (and PC) exclusive, wacky action title Hi-Fi Rush is now available on PS5. This tune-infused brawler was one of the highest rated releases of 2023 — and so we're eager to learn if you're jumping in for the first time. We gave the game an 'excellent' 9/10 in our Hi-Fi Rush PS5 review, adding our own hearty...

    Begin the march

    Unicorn Overlord, the new strategy RPG from Dragon's Crown and 13 Sentinels developer Vanillaware, is out now on PS5 and PS4.

  • Poll Are You Still Playing Helldivers 2?

    Democracy doesn't sleep

    It's been just under a month since Helldivers 2 released on PS5 and PC. The co-op shooter obviously made a huge splash right out of the gate, and positive word of mouth actually saw sales increase post-launch, which is a rarity. But as we all know, interest in live service games can be a fickle thing. We've seen countless...

  • Poll What Do You Think of PSVR2, One Year Later?

    This is reality

    PSVR2 launched on the 22nd of February 2023, which means that the platform is now officially a year old — and you know what that means! Yep, we want to gather your opinions on Sony's VR device, now that we've all had plenty of time to evaluate its first 12 months on the market. For what it's worth, we think PSVR2 made an...

    Plus or minus?

    This month's games for PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium have been revealed, with 13 titles being added across the two tiers. We suppose the biggest talking point is that subscribers are getting four Tales games, including the very well received Tales of Arise, which released back in 2021. The inclusion of Assassin's Creed Valhalla...

  • Poll Are You Playing Skull and Bones?

    It's finally here

    If you can believe it, Skull and Bones is actually here. The Ubisoft live service project, which had been hit with so many delays over the years, is playable right now on PS5.

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League?

    In for the kill

    It's more than fair to say that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been dividing opinions, and so we're very interested in hearing what you lot have to say about it. A far cry from the Batman-based, single-player shenanigans that put developer Rocksteady on the map, this co-op shooter has been a talking point for quite some...

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give Persona 3 Reload?

    SEES for yourself

    A rather stunning remake of a classic PS2 RPG, Persona 3 Reload graced PS5 and PS4 earlier this month. Almost immediately, it became developer Atlus' fastest selling title ever — thanks to strong reviews and a huge marketing campaign. Of course, it also helps that Persona as a brand is more popular than ever these days — still...

  • Poll What Do You Think of the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo?

    Keep Kalm

    Released earlier this week, the highly anticipated demo for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth gives us a glimpse of the game's opening chapter, in which Cloud recalls the time he and Sephiroth were sent to investigate the Nibelheim mako reactor. We happen to think it's a pretty strong start to what should be a great sequel, bit as always, it's your...

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give Granblue Fantasy: Relink?

    Was it worth the wait?

    It's been about a week since Granblue Fantasy: Relink finally landed on PS5 and PS4. The action RPG released during an especially busy period — just after Tekken 8 and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and just a day before Persona 3 Reload — but the positivity surrounding its arrival suggests that fans of the genre...

  • Poll Which Xbox Franchises Would You Buy on PS5?

    The big question

    There’s strong speculation that some first-party Xbox franchises are being considered for release on the PS5. In some cases, the rumours are incredibly strong, like Hi-Fi Rush – which had a handful of in-game shirts datamined, clearly showing that a PlayStation port is on the way. In other instances,

  • Poll Are You Playing Helldivers 2?

    Dive in

    Helldivers 2 has arrived on PS5 (and PC!) with a bit of a bang. The co-op shooter appears to be quite popular already, rocketing up the Steam player charts and garnering a sizeable audience on streaming websites like Twitch.

  • Poll How Do You Feel About All of the Xbox Multiplatform Rumours?

    A PlayStation perspective

    While we use the word 'rumours' in the headline of this article, the reality of the situation is that it really does look like Xbox is making significant changes to its business strategy. Speculation is absolutely rampant at the time of writing, with numerous reports all coming to the same conclusion: Microsoft wants to...

  • Poll Will You Be Watching the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth State of Play?

    Or have you already seen too much?

    Just in case you don't know, there's another State of Play broadcast tonight, featuring Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

The real reason we...

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth?

    Infinite/10

    It's been over a week since the release of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and it's safe to say that RGG Studio's latest RPG has been a hit. Its unique brand of madness (and massive marketing campaign) has allowed the game to reach people who wouldn't normally be interested in the series — and so we're very interested in hearing what...

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give Tekken 8?

    Return of the king?

    Tekken 8 has been out for about a week now on PS5, so you've had plenty of time to play though its insane story mode and get smashed to bits by shockingly powerful players online.

    Justice for all

    Well, it's here! After a couple of delays and a lot of heated discussions online, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has arrived on PS5.

  • Poll Are You Playing Granblue Fantasy: Relink?

    Linked at last

    No, you're not dreaming — Granblue Fantasy: Relink is actually here, released, and playable right now on PS5 and PS4.

  • Poll What Review Score Would You Give The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered?

    Can't be for nothing/10

    We understand this is a bit of a weird poll since some of you will have already given the original The Last of Us: Part 2 a score, but we've got to be thorough with these things so that our Best PS5 Games lists are all correctly updated! The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is the same game, but it looks slightly better and comes...

    No returns

    The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered is out now on PS5, bringing the brutal PS4 adventure to Sony's current-gen console.

Of course, the original game isn't...

  • Poll Are You Playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown?
