In a year that’s offering up Grand Theft Auto 6, Death Stranding 2, Avowed, Assassin’s Creed and a new Monster Hunter, Koei’s hack and slash series may not be an obvious GOTY contender. But the Dynasty Warriors: Origins demo paints a picture of a game hitting way above its budget roots. Listen, I know how it sounds. I’ve been playing the Dynasty Warriors games since I got the second one with my PS2. I love it, but it’s never pushed…

I’ve been dabbling in Farming Simulator for over a week now and while the game has a bunch of problems both on console and PC, I cannot help but continue to pick up the controller and maneuver my tractors around the map. I invest so much into Farming Simulator games because I know Giants Software will continue to work on the game for years to come. But I would be considered a super fan – should you invest? Listen, right…

Its presented in a timeline setup that reminds me a lot…

Then we got the reveal of gameplay and my hype went off the charts. The game…

The PS5 Pro went on sale this week. If you didn’t know, you won’t be alone. I’ve seen no advertising, no sprawl of articles convincing me to overcome my skepticism and lay down the best part of £1,000 on a console, a stand and a disc drive. It’s the most muted console release I’ve ever seen. And as naturally happens on the internet, I’ve been told it’s either a sign that it’s overperforming or underperforming. On the one hand, it’s…

Death Stranding has shadow dropped on Xbox today at the immensely affordable price of £17.50.  Buy it. It’s awesome. It’s also an interesting look at things to come. The biggest PlayStation fans are going to quickly point out that this isn’t a big deal. It’s five years old, they’ll say. Besides, Kojima has bought the rights back, so Death Stranding isn’t even owned by PlayStation. This new release is published by 505 Games too, just like the version that ended…

The publisher/developer is at the top of their game, producing massive and…
