It’s only been a few short years since I first had the opportunity to review The Last of Us Part II, a masterpiece in my mind with VERY little to complain about, so when they decided to remaster this I was thinking, do we really need this already? Some may argue no, but they would be wrong, Naughty Dog brought the absolute polish and buffed out any imperfections in this masterclass of Humanity, Morality, Brutality and Revenge. The Last of…

It has been a LONG time since we’ve seen a proper Prince of Persia game. Back in 2020 Ubisoft had announced a remake for The Sands of Time, that quite frankly looked REALLY bad. After seeing that, I thought the franchise was doomed and it was time to move on. Thankfully, that project is delayed indefinitely…. which is typically lingo for “We aren’t going to do that anymore”. So, when The Lost Crown was announced at Summer Game Fest 2023,…

Get ready to embark on a maritime journey that leaves you questioning the very definition of entertainment. Ships Simulator on PlayStation 5, developed by OceanCraft Studios, attempts to bring the high seas to your living room. Ships Simulator attempts to capitalize on the PlayStation 5’s hardware but falls short of delivering a truly captivating visual experience. While water effects and ship models show promise, the overall execution lacks the polish expected from a next-gen title. The graphics are passable, but…

UFC 5 is the latest installment in the popular Ultimate Fighting Championship video game series, and it has managed to elevate the franchise to new heights.

From the moment you boot up the game, you’ll be greeted with stunning visuals that capture the essence of the UFC perfectly.…

The time has come for my most anticipated game of the year Spider-Man 2. When Insomniac Games released the first Spider-Man in 2018 people were excited but didn’t know 100% to expect, after they got their hands on it, many people (me included) considered it to be in the top tier of superhero games with the likes of the Arkham Series. Traversal was done in such an amazing and fun way that had never been done before, so people were…

But is that enough to bring players back? My initial opinion on Sonic Frontiers is that it was a diamond in the rough. It…
