10 Franchises That Need a Good Scrub in PowerWash Simulator 2

Now that PowerWash Simulator 2 is in the hands of players around the globe, fans are soaking in the relaxing rhythm of blasting away dirt with high-pressure water. Indeed, the game hits that sweet spot of giving you a satisfying feeling every time a surface gleams once more. Furthermore, the sequel takes everything that made the first game a surprise hit and makes it even better. It refines the steady, methodical gameplay, adds more tools to get every job done right, and while that familiar rewarding ding still sounds when you finish a clean, you now also get free soap. With fresh features and new locations, it’s easy to imagine where FuturLab might go next with the series. The first PowerWash Simulator set a pretty high bar, especially when it came to fun collaborations. For exampl...

EA Sports FC 26 – PS5 Review

The nights are drawing in, the leaves are turning red, and Halloween is creeping closer, which can only mean one thing. EA Sports is back with the latest instalment of its 'kick the ball in the net' series; and especially for EA Sports FC 26, the stakes are higher than ever. Community frustration has reached boiling point, and this year could be make-or-break for the franchise. Every release brings the same question: “Should I wait for a sale?” With the last game hampered by clunky gameplay, poorly tuned mechanics, and an unforgiving Ultimate Team power curve, scepticism is understandable. EAFC 26 launched on 19th September 2025 for those who purchased the Ultimate Edition at £89.99, with the standard £69.99 version following on 26th September across PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xb...

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds – PS5 Review

The Sonic Racing series has always lived in the shadow (no pun intended) of its spiky mascot’s platforming roots, but over the years it has built a reputation for fast and chaotic fun. Recent entries tried new ideas, like vehicle transformations in All-Stars Racing Transformed or the team strategy in Team Sonic Racing. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds takes these ideas further and adds its own twist: the ability to warp into different mini tracks in the middle of a race. Developed by Sonic Team, The game launched worldwide on 25th September 2025, costing around £54.99 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version coming soon. Players who bought the Deluxe Edition (£79.99) could play a few days early, starting 22nd September. So, does this new twist keep th...

Mafia: The Old Country – PS5 Review

The Mafia series has quietly built itself into one of gaming’s best crime sagas by rolling steadily through the decades. It kicked off in the 1930s, cruised through the ’40s and ’50s, then shook things up in the ’60s. Fans naturally expected the story to move forward. Instead, Hangar 13 drags us back to the roots with Mafia: The Old Country, a linear, story-driven trip to early 1900s Sicily. It launched worldwide on 15th August 2025 and is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This review covers the PS5 version, priced at around £54.99. So, does it sit solid like a family olive tree, or snap like a twig under a horse’s hoof? Miniere Alle Spalle, Mafia Davanti Mafia: The Old Country dives straight into the dirt. In 1904, young Enzo Favara escapes from the backbre...

Gunplay and Gunmetal: RoboCop Returns in Style Unfinished Business wastes no time in getting to the action as Mercenaries have destroyed the police precinct and stolen RoboCop’s chair, the final piece needed to control OCP’s sys...

F1 25 – PS5 Review

F1 25 left the paddock on the 30th May, I previewed the game, which you can read here, and I was fortunate enough to receive a code for the Iconic Edition with all the assorted extra content. This review focuses on the PlayStation 5 version of the annual racing series. So, the big question: Has Codemasters delivered a podium finish, or has it crashed into the barrier? Pitt Stop The game includes all the modes you know and love, plus some extra Hollywood action. Tied in with the upcoming movie, you can play scenarios from the film — these unlock on June 30th, five days after the film’s UK release. The characters are available to use in other modes; it was very strange seeing Tyler Durden/Benjamin Button/Jesse James walking around the paddock. The Hollywood like drama doesn’t stop with ...

American Arcadia – PS5 Review

American Arcadia marks the latest release from Out of the Blue Games, the studio behind Call of the Sea (you can check out our review of that here). After launching on PC in 2023, the game has now made its way to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and Xbox One courtesy of publisher Raw Fury. This review focuses on the PlayStation 5 version. So, the big question: have Out of the Blue Games delivered another smash hit, or should it have come with a warning? It Can't be Tru(man) Set in a retro-futuristic 1970s metropolis, American Arcadia drops you into the brown leather shoes of Trevor Hills — a painfully average office worker voiced by the ever-talented Yuri Lowenthal (you’ll know him from Marvel's Spider-Man). Trevor soon realises his entire life has played out as part of ...
