Lego Horizon Adventures, PS5 Review
Lego Horizon, I suspect it is bit of a coup for Sony, getting Lego so on-board with their Horizon franchise.
Up until now Lego games have been reserved for the biggest of IPs, like Marvel, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. And with a couple of caveats, I can say Lego: Horizon Adventures is a worthy entrant into this storied sub-genre of games, especially with how next-level gooooorgeous it is.

Until Dawn, PS5 Byte Size Review
Big thanks again to guest writer, Nina. Who sat down to a few sessions of scares, before flitting off for a month long holiday in Thailand!
When Until Dawn first released back in 2015, it was quickly considered the best-in-class thriller of its kind, especially in the mainstream space.
It makes sense, then, that Sony would want to put out a next-gen version of the game.

God of War Ragnarok (PC)
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.

Trinity Fusion, Review
(Guest writer, Nina, returns to give a quick Byte Sized take on Indie game, Trinity Fusion.)
Trinity Fusion is a roguevania platformer and the latest release from indie devs Angry Mob Games. It is quite unlike anything the studio has put out before- up until now, Angry Mob’s MO has been mobile games and the odd Predator tie-in.
But you wouldn’t guess that when playing Trinity Fusion. In fact, you’d probably think these guys were veterans of the metroidvania genre.

Spider-Man 2, PS5 Review
Guest writer, Nina swings in with a run-down on the recent Spider-Man game from Sony on PS5.
“Insomniac Games gave us Marvel’s Spider-Man for the PS4 in 2018. We reviewed that game when it first came out, so I won’t say more on it than that.”
And this year, they’ve given us Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart PC
Ratchet & Clank are one of PlayStation’s most endearing duos, first appearing on the PlayStation 2 in 2002 from developer Insomniac Games.
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.

God of War: Ragnarök, PS5 Review
“Boy, this isn’t game!” – Yes, it is…it’s God of War Ragnarök, one of the best games around!
God of War (2018) was one of the stand-out games of the PS4 generation.
The next entry, God of War: Ragnarök has finally arrived on PS5 and once again Kratos and his “Boy”, Atreus, have a new adventure through Norse mythology.
After almost 20hrs I can say with confidence, it will be atop many Game of the Year lists in 2022.
