Review by Pierre-Yves L. One Piece: World Seeker is the latest adventure for the Straw Hat Pirates, and one that that crosses into uncharted territory with an original script for fans to sink their teeth into. It’s also an open world game, which was always going to be an intriguing…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Ghost of a Tale represents the indie development spirit at its best. A delightful little stealth game, produced largely by a single person, it’s a game the eschews refinement for spirit and soul, and as a result it’s one of the more memorable examples of its…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It must be difficult making one of those “1 vs 1,000” action games, in the vein of Koei Tecmo’s Dynasty Warriors series. They obviously sell well enough (because Koei keeps making them), but so few developers even try, much less approach the quality of what Koei…

From The Last of Us to Horizon, God of War and Spider-Man, the games produced by Sony-owned studios have wildly disparate themes, but a comfortingly cinematic, structural similarity to one another.
