Bethesda ANZ recently invited me to a media-only preview session of Arkane Austin’s upcoming vampire shooter, Redfall.
I’ve been a huge fan of Arkane Studios since their breakout title, Dishonored. With Prey, the French developer’s US arm, Arkane Austin, branched out to create a game that retained the essence of the studio’s signature style, but with a more grounded and less stylised look. Redfall, again from Arkane Austin, is very similar in that it is almost a traditional shooter, but with a little more meat.
The PlayStation VR2 brings high-fidelity VR gaming to the PlayStation 5. In the PS5, we finally have a console powerful enough to deliver AAA VR games and experiences without the technical limitations that faced the original PlayStation VR headset. There are still compromises, but you’ll still find similar compromises in premium PC VR headsets that are more than twice that of the PlayStation VR2.

Kerbal Space Program 2, the long-awaited sequel to the smash-hit original is now available in early access.
For the uninitiated, Kerbal Space Program 2 follows its predecessor in being a physics-based space program simulation. The game’s unforgiving and very serious aerodynamics and astrophysics are offset by the rather bizarre tongue-in-cheek design style. Continue reading Kerbal Space Program 2 Early Access impressions→

Sony blesses PC owners with another of its former PlayStation exclusives, the follow-up to Insomniac’s acclaimed web-slinging Spider-Man game, Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales.
Back in 2018 the PlayStation 4 game, Marvel’s Spider-Man finally allowed me to live a childhood dream of swinging around New York City as The Amazing Spider-Man. Other games had come close like Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Ultimate Spider-Man (2005), but most since those two titles just never managed to capture the thrill of swinging on a web across the Manhattan skyline.
