We were never able to get a copy of Slitter head, which is why we didn't cover the gale back when it was released in November. Since a demo came on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, we decided to take the Pro version for a spin, even though we're not exactly sure what enhancements this version benefit from. Indeed, all the other versions seem to run just as well (most of the time at least) and image quality does not seem to be degraded that much on the base consoles. The reviews for the game have been quite polarizing so the release of a trial version is a good thing if you couldn't make up your mind about a potential purchase. Don't hesitate to share your thoughts if you get a chance to give it a go.

Zenless Zone Zero came out last July but it was recently updated on PlayStation 5 Pro. As we'd never played the console version before, we were only able to capture the beginning of the adventure, which may explain why we haven't seen many areas where the ray tracing option seems especially impactful on the visuals. RTGI seems to be in place though, so direct comparison can show improvements more visibly. It's a shale however that we spotted a few frame rate issues caused by RT, but to be fair, they seem rather minor overall, to the point we didn't even notice them during combat. That said, they are present and it should be noted. Image quality is a bit too soft to our liking and it doesn't seem to have been improved over base PS5, but we might be wrong as we didn't pixel count.

When we first started playing Go Home Annie, we thought it would be just another horror game set in a house, but since we had not read anything about it before, we were pretty surprised by the little twist that took place after what can be considered as the prologue. Not that the game is the absolute best in its category, but its eerie atmosphere, engaging voice acting, excellent sound design and soundtrack and its solid puzzles actually make it worth checking out. It remains a rather short experience though, around four to five hours, but if you're into paranormal events you might find something quite interesting here, especially for such a price tag (€19.50/$19.50).

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 may have come out a month ago exactly, it hasn't managed to solve all the launch issues quite yet. Two weeks ago, when we recorded the following video, we were able to play immediately, so it was a good start, but then we ran into some bugs while playing: environment glitches and low frame rates over Los Angeles in a Photograph mission, the disappearance of our score and sections passed in a low flight mission and some oddities with the trees to name but a few. Our fiber connection may not be the fastest out there but it's still solid (1 Gbits) so it was a shame. Today, we tried to play the game again but got stuck on the initial loading screen three times and then the game froze while we were flying over Melbourne, that also had some problems with some of the trees. Our last attempt went well though, no weird glitches or anything and we were able to reach the main screen rapidly. Aside from those issues, this second episode developed by Asobo is without a doubt a nice improvement over the first, with more content, more game modes and impressive visuals, even on console.

HITMAN World of Assassination includes all the content released by IO Interactive between 2016 and now, which means the three campaigns from Hitman 1, 2 and 3 and the extra content if you go for the Deluxe Edition. The Standard Edition is almost as packed but it's cheaper. Jean-Claude Van Damme was recently featured in the game as an Elusive Target so the franchise is alive and kicking despite the fact that the studio has been actively working on a James Bond title. That said, today we're giving you a chance to take a look at the PlayStation 5 Pro version since it was granted a free update last week.

If you are into rock climbing or that you admire those who practice such an activity, chances are you have already been drawn to DONTNOD's Jusant a few months ago, but if you found its approach too accessible and not realistic enough, maybe Cairn will be more your thing. The good news is you can try the game yourself as a demo is available on Steam, and you definitely should in our opinion. Despite suffering from some minor optimization issues, this trial version is actually very promising, as proven by our gameplay video inside.

We're back with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle thanks to GeForce NOW Ultimate and again, we can showcase the beautiful rendering of the game thanks to path tracing. This time, we opted for DLAA, which is obviously more demanding on an RTX 4080, but NVIDIA's GPU holds up pretty well outside of cutscenes (even when exploring the more open areas of the Vatican). This time, we chose a very Indiana Jonesey sequence to underline even more that MachineGames perfectly nailed this new adaptation of the franchise. This is clearly a game we recommend to all the Indiana Jones enthusiasts out there.

Gamersyde wouldn't be Gamersyde without the possibility to get downloadable HQ versions of trailers. True, it's much harder to provide you with such videos these days, but we have managed to get a bunch of them anyway. Inside, you will find Crimson Desert, Dying Light: The Beast, Ōkami Sequel, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Split Fiction, The First Berserker: Khazan and The Witcher IV. Enjoy!

As usual now, The Game Awards was the occasion to reward a good number of games and to endure the presence of one of the least likeable person in the whole industry, aka Geoff Keighley. The best part was obviously all the trailers which came out as many of the games announced yesterday are pretty exciting. We have gathered them all in chronological order for you to pick and choose those you prefer. Enjoy!

Thanks to a good friend who has a Game Pass subscription, we can finally share some gameplay footage of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which came out three weeks ago on Xbox Series X|S and PC. Sadly, our review key request was refused, and there wasn't anything we could do, even after launch. That's why you had to wait for so long. The silver lining is that the game has received a few updates so it is in a better state now that during the review period. It's still a long way from a perfectly satisfying experience, but for those who have played it, it seems to be worth it.
