Is FIFA 21'a multiplayer worth it the risk of breaking your controller due to a rage-induced tantrum after your keeper passes the ball the wrong way? Is it worth a broken couch because your player didn’t kick the ball and you thought kicking the couch might make it better? Probably not.

Watch Dogs Legion is out today, and while the game isn’t perfect, it’s still a fascinating tour of London that’s helping bridge the gap between current and next-gen consoles. If you’re planning on picking it up and making a difference in the world’s capital, then class is in session! As someone who has played the game, recruited several pensioners and recreated scenes of terrible old women assaulting fit and defenseless young men, I’m something of an expert in Ubisoft’s latest sandbox.

You couldn’t ask for better conditions to launch a new video game console in. Thanks to the perfect storm of sheer awfulness outside, people are spending a lot more time indoors and staving off their boredom with video games. Hardware and software sales have increased tremendously as a result of this, and Sony reckons it’ll be in prime position to shift a lot of its PS5 consoles come launch day.

Anthem’s not dead yet! Easily the biggest flop in Bioware’s long history, the massively-hyped Anthem was all style and no real substance when it launched back in February 2019.

PlayStation Plus for November is officially kicking off with its first PlayStation 5 game. Everyone’s been talking about Bugsnax ever since that game debuted with a delightfully weird trailer and a catchy tune by the band Kero Kero Bonito, and if you were scared that the delightfully odd-looking experience would be buried underneath higher-profile releases, good news!

Watch Dogs: Legion is a fascinating game, massively ambitious and crawling with technology that isn’t just on the bleeding edge of what’s possible, it’s pure magic to see unfold. All of that may sound impressive but slick software and a bustling metropolis of people power can’t hide the dull gameplay and shallow approach to the sandbox shenanigans of Watch Dogs: Legion. It’s still a fascinating game to experience in short bursts, and it’s going to be fascinating to see how Ubisoft evolves London to make it vox pop as a next-gen headliner.

Uldren’s story is hinted at in the latest Destiny 2 ViDoc, which details just how important Beyond Light is to the overall narrative of Destiny 2. The first chapter in a trilogy of stories according to the developer, Beyond Light is adding a lot of content to Destiny 2, now that many of its older activities are being sealed away in the Destiny Vault.

Alien: Isolation is a faithful masterpiece of design that serves as the benchmark for what a studio is capable of when all cylinders are firing. And that game almost never saw the light of day.
