Need For Speed Unbound PS5 Review

Need for Speed Unbound is the latest in the NFS franchise and is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S as well as PC. Developed by Criterion Software, famed for their Burnout games, and published by EA, will Unbound be a winner or one to drive by? NFS Unbound - The World is your Canvas With a bit of a twist when it comes to graphics, I know that many have been a bit wary of how this iteration of NFS looks. The ultimate question is a simple one; Does it work and play well? Gameplay While Criterion has made some of my all-time favourite arcade racing games such as Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Burnout Paradise (A title I have somehow managed to buy since its launch in 2008 on almost every platform along the way!) NFS Unbound has seemingly ventured into a very vibrant and graffiti-cultu...

Swordship – PS5 Review

I love when indie developers put a fresh take on beloved game genres. That's exactly what Digital Kingdoms have delivered with Swordship. Dubbed a "dodge'em up" this, the fourth title from the Swiss team is their most ambitious game yet! Bringing a Swordship to a Gunfight Set in a world where most of the lands have become submerged by the seas, most of humanity has moved to three huge underwater cities. While these cities bustle with trade through a constant flow of containers filled with goods, there are those banished from the cities that struggle to survive in the remaining barren and inhospitable lands. Rising up against the big cities, skilled pilots use lightning-fast ships to steal some of the containers and deliver them to the banished. You are one such pilot. Gamep...

Inertial Drift: Twilight Rivals Edition – PS5 Review

Inertial Drift was originally launched in September 2020 to mixed reactions. Developer PQube is back with the Twilight Rivals Edition for Playstation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. The Twilight Rivals pack will also be available as DLC for owners of the previous version. Tear up the driving rulebook I actually missed Inertial Drift when it was released in 2020, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. One of the things that attracted me to it was the bright neon colours and drifting. For those new to drifting, itinvolves sliding your car sideways through corners while maintaining speed. Oversteering is required to achieve a prosperous 'drift state', breaking all the rules of 'proper' driving in the process. Gameplay I will be the first to admit, I really love racing games that can bring bac...

Dakar Desert Rally – PS5 Review

Colin McRae and Sebastien Loeb are names I know, not because of their rallying exploits but because of videogames. My knowledge of the Dakar Rally is not from games but because of its infamy as being one of the hardest sporting challenges around. Dakar Desert Rally aims to authentically capture the epic scale and challenge of the legendary event. Become a Dakar Desert Rally Legend! Coined as the largest open world, off-road racing game of all time by developer Saber Porto, the game is set across 20,000sq kilometres of diverse terrain. The team, based in Portugal, have previous experience with racing titles like WRC, MotoGp and its previous Dakar game, Dakar 18. Formerly known as Bigmoon, the studio was acquired by Saber Interactive in 2019 and renamed Saber Porto. Played here on PS...

Redout 2 – PS5 Review

Having cut my teeth in the early PS1 days on the utterly cool Wipeout, I've always had an affection for the futuristic "Anti Gravity" racing games. Redout 2 is the follow-up to the 2016 critical hit Redout. Developed by the small Turin-based team 34BigThings, this sequel aims to deliver more insanely exhilarating racing than its predecessor. Having not played the original game, I was excited to jump in and rediscover the Anti Gravity genre that I've not played since the fantastic Wipeout Omega Collection. Insane speeds taking you from Redout 2 Blackout Played here on PS5 the game clocks in at just 14.85GB install size. It's also available on PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC via Steam/Epic Game Store. A Nintendo Switch release is also planned down the line. Let us know in th...

F1 22 – PS5 Review

Developed by Codemasters and published by EA, we bring you F1 22. Available on PC, Xbox and Playstation F1 22 is available now. A Lot Has Changed In The Past 20 Years! As you can probably guess by the above highlight, it really has been 20 years or more since I last picked up an F1 title. I haven't really avoided them but they have never been on top of my list to pick up. It could be worse, I could have said the last F1-style title I played was Exhaust Heat. I have no idea what is in store, but having started watching F1 again over the past couple of years I was excited to pick this title up. Gameplay I was slightly worried (along with being excited) about picking up F1 22 to review. To be honest, I am not the biggest fan of F1, I just enjoy racing in general. I can't tell you who has ...

Developed by Italian studio Milestone, Monster Energy Supercross 5 is the latest release in the annual series and the second to release on next-gen consoles.
