Master Chief returns to Zeta Halo with a few extra tricks up his sleeve for a romp through an open-world campaign that's impressively cinematic and free-flowing fun. The free multiplayer experience adds thrilling action too with more modes and maps to come.  

It's great to revisit the streets of Liberty City, Vice City and the multiple locations in San Andreas.

Sony's makeover of 2019's Death Stranding for the PS5 polishes an already stunning world and adds some new weapons and side missions... but does it make the story any less bamboozling?  

The only revolution on display is the uprising you’ll get to lead into battle, as Far Cry 6 focuses purely on delivering more of what made the series great in the first place.  

The annual upgrade offers some nice touches and impressive visual polish for new-gen consoles but bereft of any big-name signings the series is beginning to lack real personality.  

It’s far from perfect, but this delightfully twisted adventure combines a great backdrop and quirky storyline with a strategic combat system for a frequently weird and wonderful experience.
