Just Cause 3 may have been an alright action sandbox game, but its talent for exploding the heck out of anything and everything was unmatched by any other game around. Just Cause 4 doesn’t stray from that path, as Rico Rodriguez’s latest foray in the field of tyrant toppling features a vast a new land to explore and demolish, with Avalanche dialling up the destruction to 11 this time as new weather effects are added to the mix.

NBA 2K19 is another impressive outing from Visual Concepts and 2K with just about everything you can think of included. It’s a real shame that there is still a heavy reliance on purchasing VC in the modes that matter, but it’s plausible to play without giving in to the temptation. Aside from the microtransactions and occasionally tedious load times NBA 2K19 has all the modes, polish, challenges and value you’ve come to expect from the franchise. It’s the annual release that truly lasts a year and if you’re a fan, there should be no doubt as to whether or not you should get this year’s game.

How far are you willing to go to be the first? While that achievement is usually reserved for people with the quickest of fingers, being first in Destiny 2: Forsaken’s Last Wish raid was a case of endurance this weekend. With almost 19 hours on the clock, one team managed to finally break through the barriers set up in The Dreaming City, finally defeating Riven and saving the fabled Awoken homeland from an evil that existed across all dimensions.

Maybe you’re stuck at work and can only log in later tonight to spend some of your legendary shards on new armour and weapons in Destiny 2. In that case: Where is Xur?

The creme de la creme of Destiny’s end-level events, Raids are a test of skill, logic and patience as players usually realise that there’s no problem that can’t be solved by not firing an absurd amount of bullets into a cosmic space-god that transcends casuality and happens to simultaneously exist within multiple dimensions. I mean, like well duh.

Today, you might have noticed that your console is ready for firmware update 6.0o. So what does it do? The answer, in my clickbaitiest of voices, may just surprise you.

I’m going to be dead honest with you here: I have no idea what Left Alive is even about. What I do know, is that it has cover art from Yoji Shinkawa, so my interest is automatically activated and aroused. That’s some damn good art right there. According to Square Enix, Left Alive is an “upcoming survival shooter set in the Front Mission universe”.

Destiny 2: Forsaken returns the story that Bungie began back to its roots: A power fantasy with a more sombre story, that retools the sequel to once again feel like a hobby that’s well worth investing in, even if some rough edges do still show in this adventure to enact some old school justice on some new school enemies. Exciting, mysterious and always engaging, it’s good to see Destiny 2 back on track.
