Here at PLAY, we can always see the forest for the PlayStation trees. Even though Alan Wake 2 (p48) promises we’ll get lost in them anyway. It’s the kind of delectable survival horror we’re always happy to see more of, and is a bold and different seq

Your left hand controls your telekinesis, your right grips your guns (or vice versa if you’re left-handed). What you do from there is up to you: hold a box in front of yourself for movable cover while you blast away; take enemy cover away from them a

I’m not asking for the boat itself to come back. That ship has sailed. (Ha!) However, given the 19th century had all sorts of odd occurrences, I’m sure our insurance investigator could tackle some more cases. An aristocratic house party gone wrong. A

Kena’s setting is in many ways a large character in the game, seeing as it’s your task to free it of a malicious rot. How? With the help of some more rot, but this time googly-eyed, sentient, and seriously cute. After a tragic loss, protagonist Henry

WRITER BIOLuke Kemp hasn’t grown out of Transformers, so Titanfall is right up his gaming alley. He also runs across walls in his spare time. Many people, myself included, would love to see a new Titanfall game, and a few months ago, in an interview

WRITER BIOJess Kinghorn lets her D20 dictate all of her decisions. In fact, the subject of this very opinion piece was selected from a loot table. Let’s say you and I have similarly nonstandard ideas about what a good time is – then you watch a whole

You’ve a yo-yo, a bubble wand, a slinky, a flying disc: these probably wouldn’t be your first choice of tools for exploring a shadowy underground labyrinth. But then Shared Memory’s subterranean adventure is no ordinary dungeon crawl. This Well is at

We were perplexed that the most popular mainstream crossover VR game wasn’t available on PSVR2 at the new hardware’s launch, but the omission’s quickly forgiven once we’re back in our neon zone, effortlessly swinging our dual lightsabers to cut block

The idea of having miniature Tony Hawk-style skateparks within the likes of bedrooms and offices is a great one. As is the idea of decking out a custom avian skateboarder in a variety of hats and other bird bling.1 But, where Skatebird fails to take

Every month, loads of games come to the PS Store. You’d be hard-pressed to play them all, so we’re looking at some that didn’t quite make the cut for full reviews. This month we’re seeing that good things really do come in small packages. You remembe

Remaking one of our favourite games always balanced on a knife’s edge, but thanks to how good that knife is to use, this one’s a success. Sumptuous visuals and terrific combat join the ultimate spring clean to create one of the best third-person acti

You won’t find another open world quite like this, the streets of Los Santos paling in comparison to this gorgeous western sprawl. Arthur Morgan’s wild west adventure is epic, emotional, and has enough teasing mysteries on every Horizon for no two co

This pint-sized adventure packs charm in spades even if it isn’t exactly chock-full of challenge. Bringing the classic puzzle platformer formula bang up to date in PSVR, it won’t take many levels before you’re calling out, “Beam me up, Botty!” Also,

If Geralt romances Yennefer and Triss, he regrets it… Mass Effect has included romancing since 2007. Some people believe Dina cameos in the TLOU HBO series. Cody punched his way through Final Fight to save Jessica. While Life Is Strange has always
