It was as quick as the first death that instantly sent me careening back to memories of the original Demon’s Souls. I didn’t end up playing the 2009 title until 2011, but the arduous experience of getting the Platinum trophy sated my need for the Souls genre for the next decade. I missed Dark Souls,

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla‘s dice minigame, Orlog, is getting a physical release. This news comes from boardgame website Dicebreaker, who spoke to co-development game director Benoit Richer about the fictional Viking pastime. Richer revealed that the initial version of Orlog was similar to a deckbuilding game, in which players collected unique dice to customize their throws. “We always wanted

Veterans of the franchise know Nuketown well, but in 1984, it turns out the original testing ground for the most powerful bomb on the planet had a sister site, one that has been lost to time until a few curious travelers turned it into their own personal sanctuary. As a precursor to the start of

People love amusement parks. There’s always a little something for everyone, and a great park manager knows how to build the perfect mix to draw in the crowds. Frontier Developments, the studio behind RollerCoaster Tycoon and Thrillville games, brings console gamers another top notch park simulation experience with Planet Coaster: Console Edition. Available on PS4

When looking at the PS5 launch lineup, Sackboy: A Big Adventure was not at the top of my hype list. Sure, it’s Sackboy, one of the most iconic PlayStation mascots since LittleBigPlanet’s release on PS3, but having been underwhelmed with the just okay LittleBigPlanet 3, seeing Sackboy’s smiling knitted face didn’t spark much excitement, especially up

Ubisoft recently came under fire in Japan for censoring blood in the country’s version of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which the developer initially blamed on Japan’s Computer Entertainment Rating Organization (CERO). However, the rating body denied that it had any involvement in the censorship, leading Ubisoft to issue a “heartfelt” apology for apparently making a mistake. As

Valve recently announced that Steam’s Client Beta has added support for PlayStation 5’s DualSense. In an update, the company announced that all games using Steam Input API are now fully compatible with the controller, which includes “full support for the LED, trackpad, rumble, and gyro features.” Addressing its community, Valve revealed that a growing number of Steam

Sony’s PlayStation 5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series S have only just released but they’ve already joined Time’s list of “The Best Inventions of 2020.” According to the publication, the PS5’s “small advancements” combine to create a “revolutionary” gaming experience for its users. The DualSense controller and Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales also got a

Sony believes that Sucker Punch Productions is an excellent example of organic growth among its first-party development studios. The company has emphasized the importance of nurturing studios on several occasions, and has argued against going on “massive spending sprees” à la Microsoft. This isn’t to say that Sony is against mergers and acquisitions. Sucker Punch

Old habits die hard. In my time with the PS5, I’ve sought out Platinum Trophies. I’ve played Call of Duty with friends across platforms (and console generations). And I’ve spent too many late nights grinding out gear in Destiny 2 to get ready for the new Raid. In many ways, it feels like nothing has

Getting a PS5 early was great. Being one of the first to get the Astro’s Playroom Platinum is a point of pride. But the subsequent pop-up notifications I continue to get for the Astro’s Playroom speedrun levels as friends get their PS5s and beat my times is getting ridiculously annoying, especially because I don’t plan

It’s time to raise the stakes higher than ever before. You’ve broken a convicted spy out of Bolingbroke Penitentiary. You’ve saved the world from an egomaniacal tech billionaire. And you’ve beaten the odds to drain a casino of its cash. This time, you’re taking on an entire island. Play Video Prepare to infiltrate the remote

Hello fellow card sharks! I’m Phil Gaskell, Creative Director of Poker Club, the Texas Hold’em simulation which launches today on PS5 and PS4. Here at Ripstone, we’ve been bringing the best-loved pastimes including poker, pool and chess to PlayStation platforms for close to a decade. So for myself and our small team, working with impressive

The PS5 just launched in the UK today, but excited players aren’t getting what they hoped for. Imagine opening the delivery box on PS5 launch day only to find an empty box or a random kitchen appliance you didn’t order. That’s what happened to journalist and presenter Bex April May, who opened her PS5 shipment

In October, Crystal Dynamics announced it would shift its post-launch plans for Marvel’s Avengers. As a result, Kate Bishop did not join the roster as originally planned. The archer is slated to arrive in a few short weeks, though. Season 1 of the post-launch content starts with “Kate Bishop: Operation Taking AIM,” which will now

Happy November, True Believers! We’re now more than two months out from launch, and it’s been an exciting and challenging journey.

PlayStation consoles have had notoriously bad sharing options for households with multiple users and multiple consoles. Both my wife and I game regularly, each on our own consoles, but the hoops the PS4 made us jump through to share our game libraries with each other were tenuous at best. To share your library on a

Since late last year, THQ Nordic’s parent company, Embracer Group, has been on its biggest buying spree yet. In December 2019, for instance, the firm purchased Little Nightmares developer Tarsier Studios. A couple of months thereafter, it signed a deal to acquire Saber Interactive, the team behind World War Z. Now another batch of studios can

Before the PS5 even launched publicly on November 12th, I had already run out of room on my SSD. Thanks to a smattering of review copies of games and using the SSD to optimize PS4 titles like Destiny 2, the scant 667.2 GB was eaten up rather quickly. Despite many other players coming up against

Five Dates is a FMV (Full Motion Video) game from the masters of the genre, Wales Interactive. Instead of doing another action or thriller storyline, they have created a delightfully upbeat romantic comedy. If you’ve played one of their games before then you’ll know what to expect, this is more of an interactive movie than

Residents in Europe who were unable to secure a PlayStation 5 preorder may want to keep a close eye on Amazon EU come launch day. Reportedly, the online retailer will have limited stock available to order on Thursday, November 19th for the UK, Italy, and Spain. Orders are scheduled to go live that day at

An Easter egg in SpellForce 3: Fallen God recently gave TimeSplitters fans plenty of reasons to rejoice, since many assumed it represented a tease of something greater. The Easter Egg specifically involved a box for TimeSplitters 2 Remake, which SpellForce 3 players can obtain in-game. Of course, theories started to form and speculation mounted, all suggesting THQ Nordic

Developer PlayMagic and publisher Microids have apologized for their botched attempt at remaking the cel-shaded PlayStation 2 era shooter, XIII. The remake was panned for its poor quality and both PlayMagic and Microids have acknowledged that it didn’t live up to expectations. The companies said in a joint statement that they understand players’ frustrations and partially blamed

Sony has announced its collaboration with streetwear brand SNIPES to launch a new 17-piece PlayStation apparel collection.

Star Wars Battlefront II‘s creative director and DICE veteran, Dennis Brännvall, has announced his departure from the studio after eight years of service. “I still remember when we first got the Star Wars contract and the entire studio meeting was filled with goose bumps and tears of joy,” Brännvall wrote in a tweet. “Eight years later the journey

Former Evolution Studios’ designer and Driveclub director, Paul Rustchynsky, has told fans on Twitter that the game will not receive any meaningful PlayStation 5 upgrades, and that a remaster is “extremely unlikely.” If you’re wondering why Rustchynsky would even need to address this, it’s because he has been asked about the possibility of PS5 enhancements and
