GSY Review PS5 Xbox Series X PC

The Precinct was shaping up to be a pretty solid experience, and based on the first few hours of play, we really thought it was going to be a very fun game to recommend. However, our positive first impressions soon wore thin, mainly because of the way the game is built and its lack of variety. If you're looking for a GTA-like kind of game, it is clearly not what this is. There is a storyline but it's not especially interesting and it's only told via static images. To progress into it, you'll spend most of your time patrolling the streets in what seems to be a police simulator kind of game. As there's some degree of unpredictability in the patrols, it is rather fun at the beginning, but the city being very small, it starts to get old after a few hours. The shooting mechanics aren't good in our opinion but thankfully, driving around and chasing criminals behind the wheel is fun, even more so with the possibility to wreck things in the scenery. The excitement can only last so long though and comes a point when starting a new patrol hoping to gather random clues to help the story progress doesn't feel as exciting anymore. Maybe some players won't mind as much as we do, but because of that routine aspect, we eventually stopped playing before arresting all the members of the two gangs we were supposed to catch.

Even if the secret of an Oblivion remaster was no longer a secret, the availability of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 was a big event. Here's a our gameplay video captured on PC.

With a short delay because we weren't able to get an early code, here is our video coverage for The Midnight Walk, which came out last Thursday on PC and PlayStation 5. As you'll see, the art style is just excellent and the game's atmosphere is particularly striking. Though we haven't been able to try it ourselves, the game can be played with a VR headset on PC and console. Enjoy the video!

As we didn't cover the release of the first installment back in 2020, we didn't have unreasonable expectations for Spirit of the North 2, but our brief contact with the Steam demo a few months ago had made us wary concerning its technical aspect. We can't say whether the final version fares any better on PC, but on PlayStation 5 Pro, it's clearly a letdown. What's more, having remained unmoved by the game world and some of the early gameplay mechanics, we can't really say we've been particularly convinced by what we've seen. To make it worse, the rather disappointing technical state of the game on Pro didn't make us want to push our experience any further. We might be wrong of course, but it really didn't click and we think there are a lot more interesting new titles coming out this month.

GSY Preview PC

Out of Sight won't come out officially before May 22 but we were given access to a preview build that we took for a spin to be able to share some video content of the game this week. If you're curious to try it for yourself, a demo is available on Steam and it's a bit shorter than what we're showing you today. We should be able to give you a proper review in a few weeks if everything goes according to plan.

When it was released five years ago, Journey to the Savage Planet won us over with its crazy, colorful universe and its effective, if very classic, formula. Our review didn't get much of a reaction at the time, but with the one we've prepared for Revenge of the Savage Planet, we hope you'll be able to right that monumental wrong. Even more so as the studio behind the first opus (Typhoon Studios) is no more, having been bought out by Google before being definitively closed down following Stadia's death. Fortunately, Raccoon Logic rose from the ashes of this unfortunate episode, and it was with great pleasure that we immersed ourselves in the unique universe invented by this funny team from Montreal.

MotoGP25, the brand-new opus in the famous series developed by Milestone is now available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC. This 2025 version offers us a new engine with Unreal Engine 5, Minibikes and Flat Tracks racing, as well as a new recording method for engine noises, and we've captured a 4K video of the Xbox Series X version.

Two Falls (Nishu Takuatshina) was originally released on PC last November, but has now been ported to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This story-driven game has been warmly welcomed by players who enjoyed its atmosphere and characters. Unreliable Narrators' title puts you in the shoes of two very different characters. Jeanne is what you called a King's daughter, which is how young French women who immigrated to New France as part of a program sponsored by King Louis XIV were called back in the 17th century. Unfortunately for her, her ship sank off the Canadian coast, leaving her alone in an unknown world with the captain's dog, as they seem to be the sole survivors of the shipwreck. Maikan, on the other hand, is a hunter/gatherer from the Innu nation, too young to know what life was like for his kind before the arrival of the white man. The young man has embarked on a long journey to understand why his lands are suddenly invaded by frost, a phenomenon that threatens his people as much as the local flora and fauna. The ambience is well-polished, the French dubbing excellent, and apart from the strange choice of choosing to lock framerate at 30 fps on all consoles (including the PS5 Pro), we can't find much to reproach it for. Bear in mind, however, that the adventure is short, as it should take you around five hours to complete.

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree was released just over a week ago, and professional reviews have been very positive about the game. Primal Game Studio's title is a Metroidvania at heart, but it also borrows some Souls-like mechanics, such as stamina management, ruthless opponents and bosses, and the loss of XP at each death, unless you recover it by returning to the crime scene without dying. There's also a skill tree that lets you shape your character as you wish, or continue along the path of the class you chose at the start. The game looks greats, gameplay is nothing new but it works well, so from what we've seen, it seems to be a good pick for fans of the genre.

Released in early access on January 16, Assetto Corsa EVO has so far received mixed reviews on Steam, but the initial player reception having been disappointing, we decided to postpone our own video coverage. Feedback seems more positive now, but like all projects in the works, there's still a lot of content to add and fine-tuning to be done before the game is finished and can join the previous two installments on the driving simulation podium. In the meantime, we invite you to take a look at all the locations available in the current version of the game, at the wheel of first-class vehicles only. For capture purposes, the game was configured in 4K, ultra settings and DLSS Quality.
