Sea of Thieves on PS5 offers a solid conversion of Rare’s swashbuckling adventure - but certain performance and networking concerns do distract from the beta code.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is one of the most visually exciting games of the year, and its latest outing doesn't disappoint. I took a look at the game's visual features for this video, plus a deep dive into image quality.

Capcom’s first Dragon’s Dogma 2 patch is a step in the right direction, even if major problems still need fixing. The ability to turn off RT proves particularly interesting, providing a big frame-rate boost - at a significant visual cost.

I finally beat Persona 3 Reload over the long weekend, and it was truly excellent from start to finish. I wouldn't be surprised to see this in my game of the year video for 2024...

It’s nice to see these changes, but the 30fps capping issue was a very foreseeable problem. Also very much hoping for an Xbox Series image quality fix, which isn’t mentioned here.

Our Dragon's Dogma 2 review is live! There's much to commend in terms of gameplay and visual features - but there's the sense that additional technical polish is required, while the CPU limitations are profound on all systems: youtu.be/HtGpp1v8c_k

These specs look quite exciting. In raster it's not enormously faster than a PS5, but on a feature level it's offering a lot of what you'd expect from a next-gen console.

Here's my exploration of Spider-Man 2's debug menu patch! I go through some of the game's hidden content and take a deep dive into its performance analysis tools.

Rebirth is without a doubt worth a playthrough for Final Fantasy fans, but its visual output is more inconsistent than I’d like. It’s a good-looking title, just one that arrives with certain key caveats.

Rebirth is a very good looking game, but it does suffer from occasional visual issues that dampen the experience. Plus, Square-Enix’s unconventional performance mode image quality fix needs a rethink.
