Judgment
“60FPS ENSURES THOSE MARTIAL ARTS MOVES HIT YOUR EYEBALLS.”
i FORMAT PS5 / ETA 23 APR / PUB SEGA DEV RYU GA GOTOKU STUDIO / PLAYERS 1
R eturn to the streets of Kamurocho, Tokyo this April – they’ve never looked better.
Coming next month is Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s PS5 edition of its detective adventure set in the Yakuza universe. Featuring refined and improved visuals that make use of PS5 and solid 60fps to ensure those martial arts moves hit your eyeballs, as well as a boost to load times and all the previously released DLC, Judgment on PS5 impresses. Not played the PS4 release? Recap time: as disgraced attorney turned private eye Takayuki Yagami you’re embroiled in a series of grisly murders. Mixing detective minigames with Yakuza’s quirks, it’ll be worth rediscovering Kamurocho on PS5.
The Plane Effect

There’s something oddly retro about this atmospheric adventure’s premise: leaving the office and travelling home. Who does that now, right? This simple setup hides The Plane Effect’s melancholic underbelly. The world isn’t what it seems, and we’re not even sure protagonist Solo has a home and family waiting for him. What follows is a stylishly rendered journey through a world of small but escalating problems as Solo must contend with commuter travel and, erm, a giant, bridge-eating bug. (This is not an average journey home, as far as we remember.) There’s also the suggestion someone or somethingis watching the chaos play out. Flex your puzzle muscles later this year on PS5.
