A recently leaked image purporting to show Sony's heavily discussed but still officially under-wraps PlayStation 5 Pro appears to have received corroboration from an unexpected source.

Last week, prolific leaker bilbil-kun shared details of Sony's still unannounced PS5 Pro, alongside an illustration of its outer shell. While it mostly retained the... Read more ›

PlayStation 5 launched four years ago, shipped with a pack-in game known as Astro's Playroom - a brilliant platform game full of heart and creativity that captured the imagination of new PS5 owners.

It's a bit of a running joke now, really. Everytime a new action game is revealed, it's instantly compared back to FromSoftware's work with the question: "yeah, it looks great, but is it a Soulslike?" It happened with Black Myth: Wukong. And it's happened again with Phantom Blade Zero, so much so the developer had to release a statement refuting the game is a Soulslike. In an interview, it even... Read more ›

With explosions, dialogue such as "I want to tear that... Read more ›

Fans of bits and pieces are going to absolutely love Astro Bot. It's made of bits and pieces. Lots of these bits and pieces are nostalgia: you pick between old memory cards when choosing a save file, you're rewarded at the end of a boss fight with a spell of Ape Escape monkey-netting fun. Look close at most surfaces and you'll see some variation of the DualShock face buttons imprinted... Read more ›
