Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection

Richard Armitt 1411 Views ,  ,  ,  ,  , 

For more than a decade we’ve been friends of Nathan Drake here at the Cottage.

We’ve re-trod old ground with the previous Drake Collection, been wowed by Uncharted 4 and Guy thoroughly enjoyed Lost Legacy.

It’s been a journey, fraught with miraculous leaps, ferocious beasts, all manner of mercenaries and often faultless Naughty Dog narrative.

Now in Legacy of Thieves we get to re-play the two most recent games, Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy in glorious PS5 vision.

God of War Ragnarok (PC)

Gerard Campbell 522 Views ,  ,  ,  , 

Studio Santa Monica’s God of War from 2018 is one of my favourite games in recent memory (despite what the dear editor of this esteemed site thinks of it), which they deftly followed up with God of War Ragnarok.

I sank numerous hours into the original game, featuring grizzled and rough-edged god Kratos (although he’s trying to find his softer side) and his son Atreus, and then did the same with the sequel in 2022.

The pair were a resounding success on Sony’s games console, and over the years appeared in such classics as Tools of Destruction, Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal.

Now we have Rift Apart PC.

A Plague Tale: Requiem Review (XSX)

Barrie Clarke 876 Views ,  ,  , 

A Plague Tale: Innocence was a bit of a sleeper hit. Well, to be honest it was down right over looked by many.

Asobo Studio came up with an absolutely stellar piece of gaming in both the story telling and execution departments. The sister and brother duo of Amicia and Hugo de Rune were really put through the ringer in their first trial set in 14th century France. 

What with the Hundred Years’ War, Hugo’s illness, and all those rats…

Guardians of the Galaxy, PS5 Review

Guy 1555 Views ,  ,  , 

I had very little basis to be as hyped as I was for the new Guardians of the Galaxy game.

The E3 trailer looked pretty good, even if Star-Lord was presented as bit of a “dude-bro” and the dev team (of modern Deus Ex fame) have a reasonable pedigree in the AAA space. But I had concerns as the Comic book, super-hero genre is hard to get right.

However…against the odds Eidos Montreal crushed it!

With an absolutely fantastic Marvel game and some of the best characters I have experienced since Mass Effect.
