Reviews of Bethesda Softworks Games
Review DOOM: The Dark Ages (PS5) - Medieval Mashup Slows Down for FPS Excellence
Mace us proud
DOOM: The Dark Ages is different, and whether that’s a good thing or not is dictated almost entirely by how you feel about id Software’s last game. After the breakneck DOOM Eternal, the developer has dialled its action back for a medieval prequel that feels reserved in comparison. The pace is slower and the platforming is gone,...
PS5 whips Indy adventure into shape
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has finally landed on PS5, after a brief period of Xbox, PC exclusivity. We’ve been keen to get our hands on the latest from MachineGames, the team behind the Wolfenstein series, and now with DualSense haptics and even a PS5 Pro enhanced version, PS5 is the best place to...
Review Fallout 4 (PS5) - Timeless Gameplay Loop Stuck in an Outdated RPG
Radioinactive
Nearing a decade after its original release, Bethesda has ported Fallout 4 to PS5, promising the kind of improved technical performance that you'd expect from a generation-jumping upgrade. But does the once highly-rated, open world RPG still hold up in 2024? That's a surprisingly difficult question to answer. Some would argue that...
Review Hi-Fi Rush (PS5) - Xbox Gem Makes Its Rhythmic Debut on PS5
It takes two to tango
Hi-Fi Rush was easily one of the surprise hits of 2023, which just so happened to be one of the best years for game releases collectively. Despite not having the immediate chance to experience the latest creation by Tango Gameworks due to Xbox exclusivity, Microsoft’s recent announcement of PS5 support has finally enabled us...
Review Fallout 76 - A Shockingly Bad Attempt at Multiplayer Survival
Nuclear hazard
Republished on Wednesday, 28th December, 2022: We're bringing this review back from the archives following the announcement of January 2023's PS Plus lineup. The original text follows.

Review Ghostwire: Tokyo (PS5) - Not the Bethesda Swansong We Hoped For
The evil without
From The Elder Scrolls and Fallout to Dishonored and Wolfenstein, the Bethesda catalogue has been a staple of many a PlayStation console's third-party lineup. Its games are unique and varied.

Hands On The Evil Within 2 Is a Familiar Yet Different Beast
Daddy issues
The Evil Within was an overlooked survival horror gem. It may have been rough around the edges with some performance and gameplay issues, but it was a much-appreciated return to old survival-horror design philosophies. Scarce ammo, unforgiving difficulty, intentionally limiting controls – elements like these filled the void that...

E3 2017 Wolfenstein II's Story Is Going Bigger and Better for Sequel
Oh, and there will likely be a Wolfenstein III
If DOOM and Titanfall 2 were signs of the first-person shooter genre's revitalization last year, then 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order was the forerunner of this unexpected movement. With an impossibly ridiculous yet serious story that rivals the Metal Gear Solid series' tone and impeccable...
E3 2017 The Evil Within 2 Story and Gameplay Details Emerge
We don't Kidman
The Evil Within was incredibly bonkers and unpredictable, but it's these attributes that made it the bizarre, tense horror game that we loved. With appropriately scarce resources, deliberately hampered movement, and terrifying enemies, we've been hoping that Shinji Mikami wouldn't cave and turn the sequel into something like the...

Killer
Bethesda just announced Dishonored: Death of the Outsider at its short E3 showcase, and you can find the trailer embedded above.

E3 2016 Looks Like We Won't Be Seeing A New Elder Scrolls for Eons
A prophecy waiting to be fulfilled
While we were holding out on the slim chance that Bethesda might reveal a teaser for the next instalment in its The Elder Scrolls saga last night, it seems our hopes have been crushed even further.

At the beginning of the title, you can simply refuse to be...

It's already been established that Fallout 4 isn't the best looking game, but if there's one thing that we really like about it, it's the art direction.

Rad ideas
Earlier today at Microsoft's E3 press conference, Bethesda developer lead Todd Howard announced that PC-made mods for Fallout 4 would be coming to Xbox One.
