Aloy’s return will be a huge adventure and the next hit for PlayStation Studios. Guerrilla Games has worked hard not only to expand the first game, but to retool it in the same way that their hero does their tech so that everything is much deeper than before. From fighting to crossing, there’s so much more this time around.
As the game heads towards both generations, the use of PS5 technology appears to be superb, which we will explore further as the release approaches.

Not only has FromSoftware opened the gates to a lot of gameplay, but we even have a release date of January 2022. It comes much earlier than The Winds Of Winter and is the latest project from George RR Martin, who works with Hidetaka Miyazaki from FromSoftware against the backdrop of the dark fantasy world has worked together. There is a lot to be excited about.

Immediately after the success of Dragon Ball FighterZ, Arc System Works returned to build one of their core fighters from scratch. Strive isn’t iterative, just took everything back to basics before rebuilding it and fundamentally changing the basics of what Guilty Gear is. With fantastic graphics on PS5, could this be the de facto contender for the platform?

Yes, it’s really been that long since the humble PlayStation 2 introduced many of us to the fascination of online gaming. It’s something that is taken for granted these days, but was some kind of magic in the early 2000s (just mention the word “Socom” to Josh West). We take a retrospective look at some of the games that shaped the early online experience at RetroStation (which include Driver, Final Fantasy X, and Driver).
