“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.

Shootas, Blood and Teef draws on the rich tapestry of the Warhammer 40k Universe.
There have been many, various FPS, Turn-Based games and my personal favourite the dungeon crawler Inquisitor.
On paper it’s a match made in heaven.
The opportunity to step into the heavy boots of Space Orks, crack some bad Dad jokes and blow shit up, will float many boats.

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…

Pitching up against the fan favourites like Smash Bros, All Stars or the more recent Multi-Versus, LEGO brawls had to bring something new. That comes in the form of family friendly LEGO brand humour and customisable mini figures.
It’s a fun game with easy to pick up modes, the unlocks add a bit of excitement and simply plays well.

The Last of Us is unmistakable, a game that delivered a swansong for the PS3 in 2013 and got the re-up treatment for the PS4 in the years that followed.
Here we are now, nine years later and revisiting the beginning of the story, again. That’s not a bad thing either, basically Guy said it in a nutshell “my personal top game of the PS3 and PS4 generation is getting a facelift for the PS5”.
So in lieu of being able to record ourselves rambling about the game all night, we thought we’d share a condensed version of our thoughts here.

Long have the benefits of Xbox’s “Gamepass” subscription service been touted on Koru-Cottage. It is the closest to the Nefilx-ification of gaming we have seen, and until now it has had no competition on console.
Finally Sony have come to the party with a 3-tier offering.
I have kindly been given access to Playstation Plus: Deluxe to see how it stacks up.

It’s Bunkers & Badasses, Baybee!
Welcome to Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. What better way is there to while away your time in space than a game of Bunkers & Badasses.
A table-top fantasy RPG being played by Valentine, Frette, and you, The Newbie. And with Tiny Tina as the Dungeon Master, well, anything can happen.
All in a very Borderlands way of course.

A short while ago I was privy to a Ghostwire: Tokyo preview. I came away from that session quite excited for the game, a new I.P. with some exciting mechanics, it looked like a shot in the arm for FPS open world genre games.
In reality, having had the chance to spend some time with the game, the new I.P. feeling still stands, but beneath the surface there are doubts.

So a HUGE disclaimer right off the bat before we talk Elex 2.
I am a massive fan of the Piranha Bytes stable of games. The Gothic series, Risen series and, of course, Elex are some of my favourite games ever.
These games are all slightly different to the more popular role playing games we all know and love.
Some don’t like them at all, others have never played them, and then, like me, there is a group of absolute die hard fans.

Polyphony Digital has kept in step with it’s other first party stablemates, by making sure GT7 boasts all the quality and polish we all now expect from Playstation Studios exclusives.
Gran Turismo was the racing-sim gold standard for years, it’s been almost a decade since a numbered release in the series.
I’m pleased to say, GT7 is here to confirm there is no doubt who takes pole position in the driving sim standings.
