Song in the Smoke

After watching the trailer for Song in the Smoke, we were reminded heavily of Far Cry Primal. The prehistoric wilderness on display here is all about survival, forcing you to battle deadly predators for precious resources that might just keep you alive. Craft weapons, set up camp, and go out hunting for your nex…

PS5 stock is selling out fast, so be sure to have your credit card ready.

Looking to buy a PS5? Well, so are millions of other people, and the stock levels we’ve seen so far are tight, even nearly a year after its launch. Every time a retailer puts stock up for sale, it sells out super quickly. The longest we’ve seen them stay in stock is maybe 15 to 20 minutes (usually just a few minutes, though), and that’s at random times, so finding one for yourself can be a truly difficult task. Sony warned that it will be hard to find stock throughout the year and well into 2022, but retailers are promising more are coming, and Sony has secured additional semiconductor chips to make them.

In our PS5 review, we called it a technical marvel with a groundbreaking controller. After spending a few months with it now, it’s nearly impossible to go back to the PS4. Everything about the PS5 is better, from the games to the DualSense haptic feedback. You’ll definitely want to experience it for yourself…

A super-sized Spidey adventure unlike any other from Insomniac.

Insomniac surprised everybody when it announced it was developing a Spider-Man game several years ago. The series has had a tumultuous video game past. Up until Insomniac released its version in 2018, most superhero video games were panned, the major exception being the Batman Arkham franchise. Marvel’s Spider-Man bucked that trend. Insomniac crafted a thrilling tale with a ton of heart, humor, and excellent gameplay. It looks to follow it up with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 in 2023.

During Sony’s PlayStation Showcase 2021, Insomniac not only unveiled its upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine game but also confirmed that Spider-Man 2 is in the works, starring Peter Parker and Miles Morales, the latter of which received his own spin-off game that immediately became one of the best PS5 games.

Spider-Man 2 looks to up the ante by adding Venom to the mix, but will he ultimately be a friend or foe? We’ll need to wait to find out. Until th…

Breaking the loop can be time-consuming, but it doesn’t need to be difficult.

Developer Arkane has always billed Deathloop as a murder puzzle, encouraging (and even requiring) multiple playthroughs as players learn more information and make it one step closer to breaking the loop. Deathloop launched to rave reviews and quickly became one of the best PS5 games out there. If you’re just picking it up and struggling to get started, we’ve rounded up a few tips and tricks to help you find your footing on the island of Blackreef.

Turn off multiplayer if you want

While Deathloop does have a multiplayer component, where one person can play as Julianna trying to stop Colt from completing his mission, this can be turned off so you’re only playing against NPCs. Should you want other players to invade your game, you can set it so that only friends can or that any random person can. Though its PvP aspect was marketed heavily, this is a single-player immersive sim from Arkane through and thro…

One of the most beloved classics in Star Wars video game history is getting the remake treatment.
