[ad_1] It’s fair to say that Starfield is one of the most anticipated games and it’s not difficult to see why – Bethesda, for all its faults, has built its empire with large-scale open world RPGs. There’s a reason games like Skyrim remain popular to this day – the meticulously crafted worlds and sense of…

For one, it’s an actual next-gen/current-gen exclusive – it’s only available on PlayStation 5 and PC, tapping into cutting-edge features like hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Secondly, the developer has shifted away from its internal STEM engine, based on idTech, instead favouring Unreal…

The Kirby series remained on a side-scrolling path across the generations and while I adore side-scrolling games, I couldn’t help but…

[ad_1] At long last, Gran Turismo has truly returned. Leaving behind the interesting but ultimately incomplete GT Sport, Polyphony Digital’s latest series entries marks perhaps the most complete Gran Turismo experience since the PlayStation 2 era.
