Difficult to put into words just how impeccably well-designed Hades 2 is.

Every single second spent playing it is satisfying, and I'm annoyed every other second that I'm not.

Just feel the need to reiterate that I enjoy all of the games I list here, even giving almost all of them 8, 9 or 10 for IGN.

I'd just like to see a little more variety in the themes they tackle from now on, is all!

I enjoyed Ghost of Yotei a lot — as I have many recent PS5 exclusives — but I’m starting to get a little bored with the same themes repeating themselves.

Here’s a piece on grief, revenge, and PlayStation's struggle for new stories.

This Ghost of Yotei shot may be the best I've taken in a game.

Counting down the hours until I sit down with a Tango Ice Blast to watch One Battle After Another in Vistavision tomorrow. Heaven.

In case you had any doubts that Ghost of Yotei wouldn't be a stunner to wander around in.

Combat is even better in Yotei with those one-on-one duels being the highlight again.

Plus, disarming your opponent and sending their sword flying through the air feels great every time.
