Some FromSoft boss battles make you tear your hair out, but every so often, you’ll get a big enemy who goes down on your first try, no sweat. In Elden Ring Nightreign, Sentient Pest is a cool idea for a boss fight — it’s a parasitic moth that controls a bulky scorpion — but it’s definitely one of the easiest encounters. That is, until Nightreign’s latest weekly update, which introduces...

After 20 hours with The Alters, I just wanted to fast forward to the end. Throughout most of The Alters, the resource management gameplay bounced off the narrative well — there was always some obstacle to be overcome, a lava river or gravity distortion, and solutions were found through exploration, research, and resource gathering in a satisfying (though stressful) gameplay loop. Act 3 is similar in that you have to...

The first Death Stranding came out in 2019, and I reviewed it then. It’s a long game, and I spent a couple of weeks sunk into its world. It was a strange experience for several reasons: primarily that it’s a very strange game, both frustrating and hypnotic, lucid and obtuse.

No matter how skilled you are or how lucky you get, failure is unavoidable. But it’s what you do with failure that counts. And as the first-person shooter Anger Foot posits, you’re not only allowed to laugh but should laugh at your failures. Compared to many modern games, the intentional friction in Anger Foot is refreshing, if a little frustrating. Anger Foot, a tremendously difficult action romp developed by South...
What is a “next generation” video game? There’s probably never been a definitive answer to this question, but contenders for moments that have pushed the medium forward in a significant way have historically been easy to identify. The jump from pixels to polygons. Solitary experiences versus massively multiplayer games. Open-world games with complex simulations. Split-second loading. Now, in 2025, some are positing Hideo Kojima’s new delivery simulator Death Stranding 2:...
Last month, we battled many forms and shapes of the supernatural to connect and escape. Some big new releases included Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, FBC: Firebreak, and Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic. How does it work? At the end of every month, PlayStation Blog will open a poll where you can vote for the best new game released that month. After the polls close we...
