Grounded, the first-person survival adventure from Obsidian Entertainment, shrinks you down to the size of an ant and throws you into the treacherous world of your own backyard. Originally an Xbox exclusive, Grounded has finally crawled its way onto the PS5, offering PlayStation players a chance to experience this unique and charming adventure. The core gameplay loop of Grounded revolves around survival. You’ll need to gather resources, craft tools and weapons, build a base, and fend off the numerous insects…

I watched the trailer for Tales of the Shire yesterday, and instantly decided it wasn’t going to be my thing. You know what it is? Exactly the kind of gaming adaptations we need. Life sims are huge right now. Will any of these games still be rated especially well in a decade? Enjoy before the wave comes crashing down, because man the weight of some of these titles is starting to feel heavy. And I start this article from pointing…

Stellar Blade, the latest exclusive to hit the PS5, is a game of contrasts. It boasts gorgeous visuals and a thrilling combat system, but stumbles with a repetitive structure and a narrative that fails to capture the imagination. Here’s a deep dive into what Stellar Blade offers, and where it falls short. The ruined city of Xion and the overgrown remnants of Earth are brought to life with stunning detail. The developers have crafted a world that feels both hauntingly…

When Ghost of Tsushima comes to PC it’ll bring with it something that many of us guessed would never happen. You’ll be able to earn PlayStation trophies through your Steam purchase. This is massive. I get it. It doesn’t feel massive. In fact, on the face of it, Ghost of Tsushima coming to PC massively outweighs that little nugget of information by an order of magnitude. But that’s only if you’re not paying attention. There was a time not very…

The Fallout TV series is very popular, and people are hungry to enjoy the games that inspired it. Four Fallout games were in the top ten on Steam in Europe following the show’s debut. So it’s fantastic news that the next game is probably still a decade out. Yes, we have the Fallout 4 update next week, and that’ll scratch the itch. And obviously there’s Fallout London and other fan made stuff on the horizon. But the point of this…

Oh lord, keep with me on this one, people. Tipping is controversial at the best of times. A suggestion that we bring a tip option to video games is going to be met with all kinds of resistance. But you know, it makes sense. When we look back over the last decade or so, it’s obvious that something was going to give. Games have become more expensive to make at the same time as gamers coming to expect more for…

Star Wars Outlaws is the next big game in the space opera franchise. And now it has a story trailer and launch date. Check out the trailer below. Star Wars Outlaws is coming out on August 30th, 2024. The pre-order pack is a Kessel Runner bonus pack! It looks amazing.

I’ve been doing this since 2009, so I’ve heard a “consoles are dead” story or two. Each time they’ve been proven wrong. They’re based on faulty assumptions, or a misunderstanding of the gaming audience. This time feels different. I still don’t think consoles are going away. There will always be room for a box next to your TV. But it’s hard to see where the narrative falls apart in 2024. The whole notion of buying into a walled garden, a…

There’s an interesting thread over at Resetera where a poster has dug out the remaining games not yet officially announced from the infamous Geforce Now leak. Nearly three years of confirmations have proven what a treasure trove this leak turned out to be, and that makes the titles still remaining conspicuous in their absence. And even more so for the potential some of them have. The post, which has been put together by Mocha Joe, hints at cancelled or yet-to-be…

Hi-Fi Rush explodes onto the PlayStation 5 stage with a vibrant energy that’s hard to resist. This rhythmic action game from Tango Gameworks, previously an Xbox exclusive, takes center spotlight with its infectious blend of comic book visuals, pulse-pounding music, and satisfying combat. While the core experience remains familiar to those who played it elsewhere, the PlayStation port boasts some technical improvements and a chance for a whole new audience to experience its unique charm. The story throws you into…
