Wannabe cowboys can saddle up once more with Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster, a revival of the 1997 LucasArts western shooter brought to PS5 by Nightdive Studios and Atari. The remaster walks a fine line between preserving the original’s retro identity and applying a careful coat of modern polish. It is, as Nightdive intends, a faithful remaster rather than a full remake: textures, character models, and cutscenes have been refreshed for clarity and fidelity, but the underlying design, pacing, and structure remain very much rooted in the late 90s.

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition arrives on PlayStation 5 as a sprawling bundle that gathers the original 2015 adventure, all six expansions, and an extensive catalogue of Creation Club material into a single package. The core narrative still opens with a powerful sense of loss and disorientation before drawing players into the layered politics and shifting allegiances of the Commonwealth. The familiar journey from the ruins near Sanctuary to the conflict between major factions retains its weight, and the structure still encourages exploration that alternates between bleak discovery and small pockets of hope. The Anniversary Edition adds new Creations that fold into this world with extra homes, themed gear, and a few compact activities, though the underlying story remains as it was in the original release.

From its opening moments, this trilogy-bundle presents itself as a sweeping saga of growth and discovery. The protagonist, Reisalin “Ryza” Stout, begins her journey on her home island, curious about the possibilities of alchemy and adventure. Over the course of the three games she evolves from a countryside dreamer into a confident alchemist, and the narrative arc feels both grounded and ambitious. While the first instalment retains a cozy tone that emphasizes exploration and self-discovery, the later chapters expand the scale of her world and stakes. One critique of this new release, which comes with new content, lies in how parts of the newly added episodes feel supplementary rather than fully woven into the main story – they enrich the context but don’t always carry the emotional weight of the core plot.
