Digital Foundry : First revealed back in 2020, Unreal Engine 5 promised next generation detail and lighting quality - and since then, the technology has only got better and better. Three years on, we're finally getting to play actual games using cutting-edge tech like Lumen, Nanite and virtual shadowmaps, so just how well is the engine shaping up in actual shipping titles? Alex Battaglia checks out the first wave of UE5 games including Immortals of Aveum, Jusant, RoboCop: Rogue City, Remnant 2, Fort Solis and Desordre to discover where UE5 excels, where it needs improvements and how developers can better utilise the features it has for PC gamers.

This is a really solid month.
Pathfinder: WoTR is one of my favorite games it's got a D&D base with some of the best character creation of any game. And the multiple Mythic Paths offer meaningful changes to the way the game plays out and enhance character creation it's very cool.
I recommend the tactical mode for combat.
Nice, had Crisis Core in my wishlist (was waiting for a great sale since I have a huge backlog), this saves me that.
Some very cool games..
i only have Crisis Core it is a nice game but not memorable.. if you go for platinum remember to follow a guide cause everything is missable and the side missions are only unlocked by doing some stupid tasks.

Jeanne d'Arc w updated visual fidelity and trophies is pretty huge for me! It was one of my favorite PSP games, and an extremely good tactical jrpg w great story. I really look forward to Crisis Core also, since I played that back on the PSP as well.
Liking the monthly PSVR2 adds in general, although I already played this one on the OG PSVR. Luckily still catching up with the days of play freebies
Was thinking about the game recently, been wanting to retry it, so I'm pretty excited. Though I remember liking the sequel more.
Also very interested in Jeanne D'arc.
Oh, I didn't know they rerelased Crisis Core. How is it compatible with this new canon we have going on right now? Is it at all?
Goggle search says no changes. Makes sense as the remakes aren't on switch and Xbox while the CC remaster is on there. Still just a prequel to OG7.
No More Heroes 3 and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous are reportedly being added as well.
There's also a deluxe box set for Jusant with a vinyl record soundtrack and 300-page artbook.
One thing is for certain, people are gonna have to upgrade to much better hardware if they haven't already.
Lumen is dope
It only gets better
