Horizon Forbidden West Horizon Forbidden West needs every superlative you can throw at it to impress on you how what a perfect version of the traditional open world it is. Fantastic stuff if you love action adventure and an essential addition to your collection. The story resonates even a month out from the review, with Kratos, Atreus, Mimir, and company filling the screen with their presences and Santa Monica cultivating some of the most satisfying combat ever put together.
Kratos and Atreus' new adventure across the Norse realms is one of PlayStation's best." No matter how much shirt-pulling the PS4 tries to do on the PS5 version of the game to pull Ragnarok back from its 10/10 potential - there is no doubt that the level that this game is at is well above extraordinary.

FromSoftware’s opus gives hope for the modern AAA video game and to play it with lightning-fast loading is more than enough reason to own a PS5. It’s huge but never boring, generous but never cloying, hard but never unfair - all this, and with the artfulness of being able to say it’s not trying to be, nor is, for everyone. It’s the biggest Dark Souls, distilling and hacking off all the fat and lard that hangs from every modern Ubisoft and PlayStation Studios-manufactured open-world blockbuster. When we think of the attention and buzz endured by a game like Cyberpunk 2077, and how it needed to simultaneously pull a No Man’s Sky, tease DLC, and receive a Netflix adaptation to lure a fraction of its players back towards its media-frenzied remains, it makes one wonder: is it even possible in the modern era for a game to live up to the hype? It’s this context that makes it all the more gratifying to say that Elden Ring, in fact, does live up to said hype. Elden RingAs video games continue to become increasingly mainstream, we have started to witness ever more violent and disorienting levels of hype.
