The Bray facilities' glossy white internals are unique enough compared to other locations, but wandering around Europa doesn't feel any different from any other location.

If you’ve played any game in the past few years then you’ll understand a harsh reality: load times are getting longer.

The PS4’s swan song, Ghost of Tsushima dazzled us with its beautiful world, which took some time to load. Unfortunately, playing the game off the SSD on PS5 doesn’t impact the loading times. Despite launching a patch that optimizes the game for PS5, it does not appear that the SSD plays much of a factor. It’s extremely odd as loading has benefited every other PS4 game tested.


Strategies in Gambit and Gambit Prime can't be stressed enough because of the reliance on teamwork and communication needed to win rounds. One of the more crucial strategies that can be utilized more often is team shooting enemies that spawn in their respective zones on the map.
