Kojima Productions’ return to the desolate but emotionally resonant world of Death Stranding comes with On the Beach, an ambitious sequel that doubles down on its themes of isolation, connection, and fragile human bonds. Picking up eleven months after the events of the first game, players once again take control of Sam Bridges – this time leading a journey across fractured Australia to expand the Chiral Network and stave off extinction. It’s a narrative that pushes forward both the story and the mechanics the series has come to be known for, delivering an evolved sequel that mostly shines even as it sometimes buries players beneath its own weight.

Shotgun Cop Man review (Switch)

It’s a micro-sandbox thriller that knows exactly what it wants to be and rarely falters in pursuit of that goal. Continue reading “I Am Your Beast review (PS5)”
Antro review (PS5)
Antro is a game that wears its artistic angle on its sleeve. Set in a post-collapse world where society survives in a vertical underground dystopia beneath what was once Barcelona, Gatera Studio’s debut blends platforming and rhythm-infused action with a striking message about oppression, resistance, and expression. It’s as much about parkour and music as it is about sparking a revolution – and though not every element lands equally well, it’s an experience that commands attention.
