I have waited so long to play Beyond Good & Evil. It was always one of those games that was talked with such reverence but I’d never managed to get my hands on it. Now Ubisoft have decided to re-release and update the classic game with a 20th Anniversary Edition. […]

Beyond Good & Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition – PS5 Review

We’ve played a lot of Metroidvanias here at PSC, most recently the thoroughly decent Trinity Fusion, but we’ve also played some downright ropy efforts. We’ll spare them their blushes but it does seem like this is the go-to option of the moment. Accordingly, we were a little surprised to note […]

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown – PS5 Review

I’ve been away from Ubisoft’s stealthy stab ’em up for over a decade now. Perhaps it’s fitting I come back when the marketing claims the series is returning to it’s roots. Assassin’s Creed Mirage is certainly a return of sorts. A middle-Eastern setting certainly harkens back to the 2007 original […]

Despite getting three lots of DLC last year, the Far Cry 6 expansions keep coming with the latest, Lost Between Worlds, now available on PSN. Unlike those previous DLCs though, this one gives the player back control of Dani Rojas, the protagonist from the main game. A short, slightly glitchy cutscene sets […]

I reviewed Assassin’s Creed Odyssey a couple of years back but it actually took playing it on and off until this year to get the Platinum in it. It was so chock full, overflowing maybe, with content. Now, at the dawn of a new console generation we have Assassin’s Creed […]

Initially we were a little confused when Ubisoft sent us their 2016 release UNO for review. Thankfully it transpired what we actually had was Uno Ultimate Edition featuring all the DLC to date. That being the winter theme, Rayman and Just Dance 2017 rulesets and new in January, the UNO […]

UNO Ultimate Edition – PS4 Review

After breaking from the yearly release schedule and reinventing the formula last year with Assassin’s Creed Origins, Ubisoft has returned to old ways and released Assassin’s Creed Odyssey only a year later. It boasts a bigger world than last year, plus other enhancements but is it too much too soon? […]

There’s a moment early on in Far Cry 5 where you are tasked with climbing a tower before being told not worry, you won’t be climbing towers all over the place. This is a cheeky acceptance that Ubisoft have been putting out very samey games for a while now. Both within the Far […]

Without a doubt, the two best tactical shooters of last gen were Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, GRAW to its friends, and its sequel. The hours my online buddies and I spent taking on every mission on that game, as well as challenging randoms in PvP, was more than I care […]

Ghost Recon Wildlands – PS4 Review

When games get to a fourth in the series, things can start to get a little stale and in recent years Ubisoft have been accused, rightfully so, of copying and pasting gameplay elements across all their big franchises. So, I wasn’t expecting much originality from Far Cry 4 and, to […]
