Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is a welcome PlayStation 5 touch-up to one of the better blockbuster hits on PS4, and a nice accompaniment to the cross-generation Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Both games benefit greatly from Sony’s newest console. Marvel’s Spider-Man, first released in 2018 for PlayStation 4, is one of the …
Paradise Killer has one of the most unique, mesmerising world concepts I’ve encountered in a videogame. The whole game takes place in “Paradise”, an alternate reality created by the psychic energy of alien gods, overseen by a Syndicate of immortal beings, and with its very existence maintained by the prayers …
Despite the name, Ghost of Tsushima isn’t a game about Tsushima Island. It’s not really a game about the attempted Mongol invasions of Japan, either, despite that being the premise of the story. Ghost of Tsushima is, instead, about a very imaginary, artificial version of these things. There’s nothing wrong …

At a glance, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey looks nothing like the series early days. It leans heavily into role-playing game systems, more so even than last year’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, to the point that many liken it to The Witcher and BioWare’s games. Stealth still plays a big role, but depending …
