Burnout Paradise stands as one of the truly great and more importantly fun racing games you can play in any Era, with fun jumps and online mayhem there's hours upon hours of fun to be had strongly recommend this game to any racing fan.

Fantastic story told through water color like graphics, the past is a bitter demon that always wins no matter how much we wish things were different. The pacing of the game for the most part is well done and the ending is somber but a well designed one that makes the player feel like they too have went through a journey of reflection.

The light in the darkness is a story with powerful themes and messages, and while it's only written dialogue with puppet like characters it does a great job of conveying dread and sorrow. Anyone that has a PS5 can download it for free and I would say it's worth seeing for yourself, it's not something one will easily forget as it revolves around the terrors of the past.

A mediocre racing game with a bit too much repetition but not the worst game ever either, controls take a bit to get used to but each character at least has their own unique ability. I played this on Playstation Plus with my membership so to me it was worth at least trying out, would I have bought it without my membership probably not so as it stands it will give it a 3 out of 5.

House of Ashes does some things better than Supermassive last games but unfortunately story is not one of them, each character had little to no depth small amounts of personality and each had their fair share of cringe dialogue to go with it which is unfortunate because a good game was in there somewhere as it stands its a competent entry flawed but worth a go.

A fun albeit frustrating game at times due to poor jumping mechanics but if you can get past the control issues it's a decent platformer.

Horizon Zero Dawn is Guerilla's best game to date a game that perfectly blends great story with great graphics and animation, their previous work in Killzone was always a technical showpiece but they always lacked quality writing this game finally brings both to the table and solidifies the team as one of Sony's finest.

Spiderman 2 stands as the best game of the franchise thus far even with the bugs and glitches that it has in patches, graphics and animation both are up a notch in terms of quality with raytracing on both quality and performance modes. Story is also the best of the franchise with more emotional consequences and better fleshed out villans. Gameplay adds more with skill trees for both webcrawlers as well as a combined tree for both, gadgets are less than the previous games but still work well with environment fighting effects. As it stands Spiderman 2 is a great sequel that extends on the other games while adding enough bells and whistles to make PS5 fans use it to showcase to their friends.

The Quarry at times looks fantastic and has some engagement at others it can be less impressive and a slog to get through. First off the game relies on tension more so than jump scares which is good; however a lot of the dialogue and story is so poorly written and juvenile that it quickly gets to B or C tier very quickly. Frame rate drops and pop in occurs frequently enough to be noticed and glitches in both hair and facial animations can happen during cutscene playback. Supermassive just hasn't been the same without Sony publishing their games, Until Dawn had cheesy dialogue too but found enough charm through its characters to remain engaging.Most of the characters in this game minus 1 or 2 will have you rooting for the enemy lurking in the shadows. I didn't hate the game but didn't press start after credits to start anew either as it stands I would give the Quarry a 7 out of 10

Ragnarok is the culmination of the Norse saga and an incredible game filled with intrigue and twists, great graphics and animation are but the tip of the iceberg as story and character growth takes center stage. This Kratos is full of regret and has been trying to re examine his life choices, though he has lived a life of rage fueled hatred he has tried to control the monster that still lies dormant inside his soul. The cast and the voice acting are top notch, the setpieces are amazing and the background locals all are spectacular a godly accomplishment job well done by Santa Monica.
