TOP FIVE ONLINE GAMES
Team up with pals or take on the world
GHOST OF TSUSHIMA: LEGENDS
One of our favourite single-player games of the year has gone multiplayer. New story missions are designed for two players, with raids and survival missions challenging four-player squads. Well worth revisiting.
DEMON’S SOULS
This release still feels fresh – the best time to get involved with a soulsborne’s online aspect. Put down your summon sign to help new players with the tougher bosses, or invade to cause some grief. Whether you’re making or breaking someone’s day, it’s fun.
GENSHIN IMPACT
We had a great time with this colourful, free open-world RPG on PS4, but it’s next-level on PS5. The occasional questionable framerate has been ironed out, and it now achieves 60fps smoothness. We said it’s free, so what’s keeping you?
FALL GUYS: ULTIMATE KNOCKOUT – SEASON 2
The beans have gone medieval for the second season. Knight Fever is a favourite, which has us timing our way across drawbridges, ducking out of the way of logs, and avoiding sneaky traps.
GRANBLUE FANTASY VERSUS
With the second season underway, there’s a lot to love about Arc System Works’ fighting game take on the mobile JRPG phenomenon. As the roster expands, each character still feels unique. Hop online and give it a go (or get battered).
