Techland’s Dying Light series has long been known for mixing visceral melee combat with fluid parkour and the ever-present fear of the undead, but Dying Light: The Beast takes that formula in a bold new direction. Set in the sprawling Castor Woods, it doesn’t just drop players into another infected playground – it puts them in the scarred shoes of Kyle Crane, reimagined as a hybrid of man and monster after years of torment. This shift brings a darker, more personal narrative to the forefront, one that explores identity and revenge while experimenting with new mechanics tied to Crane’s dual nature.

Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition review
When Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords launched back in 2007, it made waves by fusing the addictive pull of match-3 puzzling with the depth of role-playing systems. Nearly two decades later, Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition lands on PlayStation 5 and other platforms with all that content bundled together, polished up for modern audiences. Developed by Infinity Plus 2 and published by 505 Games, this collection doesn’t just feel like a nostalgia trip – it also serves as a reminder of why the formula worked so well in the first place. But while the core is as engaging as ever, not everything about this package has aged equally gracefully. Continue reading “Puzzle Quest: Immortal Edition review”
Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian review (PS5)
The Atelier series has always struck a balance between gentle worldbuilding and deeper RPG systems, and Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian continues that tradition while leaning into its own unique themes of loss, restoration, and discovery. Unlike the more cheerful tone of some earlier entries, this one anchors itself in the mystery of Hallfein, a ruined town scarred by tragedy. Following Rias and Slade as they return to a place tied to their pasts gives the story an emotional core that feels grounded, even if some of the writing doesn’t always maintain the same level of nuance across its long runtime.

Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac review (PS5)
Bandai Namco’s mascot has seen plenty of experiments over the years, but Pac-Man World 2 was always a special case – a chance to see the yellow chomper take on a full 3D platforming adventure back in the early 2000s. Now remade from scratch by NOW PRODUCTION as Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac, the game returns with modern visuals, some welcome refinements, and a reminder of why Pac-Man’s world is more than just mazes and ghosts. It’s not without its rough edges, but this new version strikes a solid balance between nostalgia and accessibility. Continue reading “Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac review (PS5)”
