Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Sort Of Works On PS5, If You Don’t Mind The Shadows

Remember when Ubisoft said the PS4 version of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate wouldn’t run on the PS5, then said never mind? Well, the quietly excellent 2015 Assassin’s Creed game mostly works on Sony’s new system. There’s just a lot of flickering. I downloaded Syndicate to my PS5 a few days ago and was pleased to see it…

Demon’s Souls On PS5 Has Still Got It

After spending a few hours with the remake this morning, I can confirm that playing Demon’s Souls on PlayStation 5 is almost exactly like playing Demon’s Souls on PlayStation 3. And that’s a very good thing. I’ll admit I arrived to the Demon’s Souls party later than most, like “first played it in the last…

How To Move Your PlayStation 4 Stuff To Your PlayStation 5

The PlayStation 5 promises the future, but that doesn’t mean you need to let go of the past. After all, we’re talking about seven years of hard-earned memories: beloved games, hard-earned save data, and sweet, sweet, Trophies. The bad news is that, as far as I can tell, there’s no way to move your screenshots…

We Tested All The PS5 Demon’s Souls Graphics Filters

I’m happy to report that I’m finally playing Demon’s Souls, my most anticipated next-gen game.

Petting The Bird In The Pathless Serves A Purpose

I’m playing The Pathless, and am concerned about my eagle. It can lift heavy weights, such as its human companion (me), which, while cool and necessary to the game’s progression, seems rather dangerous. It seems unfair that my bird is doing literally all the heavy lifting, carting my character’s no-doubt heavy ass all across Creation.…

Snowy battle royale The Darwin Project will be closing all but its EU and NA East servers on January 5, developer Scavenger Studio announced today.

Gears Tactics On Xbox Is A Lot Like Gears Tactics On PC, Which Rules

Gears Tactics finds itself in an interesting position: In the absence created by Halo Infinite’s delay, Gears Tactics has become one of the major first-party games seeing an Xbox release this month. It’s a neat game that’s well worth your time. It’s also not exactly a system-seller. The short version is this: Gears Tactics on…

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Review: 6-Core Gaming Beast

It’s time we finally check out the Ryzen 5 5600X, the most affordable Ryzen 5000 series processor announced to date. Positioned as a mainstream part, it’s coming in at $300, a 20% premium over the Ryzen 5 3600X. However this third-gen processor already didn’t make sense as it cost 25% more than the R5 3600…
