NBA 2K22
A review for DualShockers2021-09-28
NBA 2K22 is a great game in pretty much every facet, over than the overbearing VC issues that have been present for years now. Combining MyCareer with The City was a genius decision and the introduction of Seasons across multiple game modes will keep NBA 2K22 fresh moving forward throughout the next year while waiting on the next annual entry.Read entire review on DualShockers -
Sable
A review for DualShockers2021-09-22
The occasional bug and missing stamina upgrades are really the only negatives I can lodge at Sable. I can think of very few games that have presented such a beautiful harmony of its attributes. Everything supports everything else. The story implores you to go out into the world, to see all that there is to see. The gameplay ensures that the focus is always on the vistas that lay before you, and it's all stylised beautifully. The game creates a view of which I cannot tire. This is truly one of the most well-conceived and executed games that I have seen in a very long time. It's one of those games that truly is using everything to its maximum potential.Read entire review on DualShockers -
Eastward
A review for DualShockers2021-09-14
Eastward leans on fantasy to flavor its story, without forgetting about its core, real-world values. Its fluid, well-paced progression, and control movements thankfully allow you to explore and admire the view before continuing because Eastward is all about the journey despite its fascinating destination.Read entire review on DualShockers -
No More Heroes III
A review for DualShockers2021-08-26
No More Heroes 3 rarely feels stale and keeps players coming back for more with the over-the-top story that they have come to expect from the series. Fans were a little worried after the lacklustre spinoff, but No More Heroes 3 brings the series back to form.Read entire review on DualShockers -

Knockout City
A review for DualShockers2021-05-21
Knockout City is a quirky game that players will find most enjoyable when teaming up with their friends. It struggles with pacing from time to time and could do with some quality of life improvements. However, it balances elements that players will feel familiar with whilst also successfully putting an individual spin on things to make for a fun time.Read entire review on DualShockers -
New Pokemon Snap
A review for DualShockers2021-05-14
New Pokemon Snap is everything I hoped it would be. It's beautiful, well designed and full of endless charm. There's so much depth and replayability that I felt compelled to return over and over.Read entire review on DualShockers -
Returnal
A review for DualShockers2021-04-29
From the moment it starts, Returnal is unrelentingly challenging in a way that begs the player to try just one more time.Read entire review on DualShockers -
Ys IX: Monstrum Nox
A review for DualShockers2021-02-16
Performance-wise Ys IX ran smoothly on the PS4 copy I had, though there have been issues with playing the game through the PS5’s backwards compatibility. Meanwhile, on PS4 there were rarely ever any framerate dips (and even then they were barely noticeable), and combat remaining fluid and responsive. This was thanks to a patch carried over from the Japanese version, which thankfully prevented those in the West from suffering through constant framerate dips. Other movements such as general running and climbing are just as fluid.Read entire review on DualShockers -
NUTS
A review for DualShockers2021-02-10
Even with so many great indie games on Switch, Nuts stands out from the crowd. Its story concludes in a way that’ll stick with you after the credits. It also offers a quirky, mostly satisfying experience that answers the question: what have these squirrels been up to?Read entire review on DualShockers -
Destruction AllStars
A review for DualShockers2021-02-04
If Destruction AllStars was entirely focused on the driving and crashing aspects, this review would be a hands-down recommendation. I just wish it didn’t come to a complete stop as often as it does when you lose control of the car. It does interesting things with the DualSense’s adaptive triggers and has a satisfying loop but comes to a screeching halt in other areas. Lucid Games has promised at least a year of new content for the game following its release, so hopefully, things will be fixed over time. Waiting for a fix, however, isn’t how I like to enjoy games. Luckily, Destruction AllStars is one of the free PS+ games for February, so with an online subscription and a PS5, I would recommend downloading it to give it a spin.Read entire review on DualShockers -
Disjunction
A review for DualShockers2021-01-28
Disjunction has so much potential — it has a great soundtrack, interesting ideas for combat, and a serviceable story. These are all bogged down by frustrating and imbalanced combat mechanics, unimaginative stealth, and plain visuals. Disjunction impressed me when I originally played it some time ago, but it may have benefitted from being bite-size. Taking in the entire game, I couldn’t help but want the experience to be over and done with.Read entire review on DualShockers -
Hitman 3
A review for DualShockers2021-01-19
New levels, new targets, new graphical improvements, same Hitman taste. Hitman 3 won't be everyone's cup of tea, but the niche should be extremely satisfied.Read entire review on DualShockers -
Collection of SaGa: Final Fantasy Legend
A review for DualShockers2021-01-09
For the $20 price, the Collection of SaGA Final Fantasy Legend is still a fun bundle of games that serve as a wonderful time capsule for handheld RPG adventures, even if it is light on features.Read entire review on DualShockers -
Back 4 Blood
A review for DualShockers2020-12-20
All in all, I’m extremely impressed with what I’ve played so far. Back 4 Blood exceeded my expectations and then some. But, if I had to nit-pick at any doubt I have, then it would be that the developers keep a keen focus on the all-around player experience and that they will continue to add new and interesting features to keep this game alive and kicking for as long as possible so that it doesn’t fall into a pit of monotony.

Cyberpunk 2077
A review for DualShockers2020-12-18
Cyberpunk 2077 is a deeply conflicting game, one that you'll end up loving but will also hate and feel profoundly disappointed by.Read entire review on DualShockers -
Orwell's Animal Farm
A review for DualShockers2020-12-14
A video game based on Animal Farm is a crazy idea on paper, but it mostly manages to stick the landing with its weighty political themes still intact.Read entire review on DualShockers -
Twin Mirror
A review for DualShockers2020-12-12
Twin Mirror is a beautiful-looking game but doesn't have the same narrative punch that made previous games from Dontnod so memorable.Read entire review on DualShockers -
Call of the Sea
A review for DualShockers2020-12-07
Call of the Sea is a great start for developer Out of the Blue but didn't entirely capture me on any front, despite standout moments.Read entire review on DualShockers
