It’s not just video games and their peripherals in the industry that fascinate us, it’s also toys. There’s no shortage of merchandise based on the most popular franchises, and we have a small collection of our own, which we’ve been gathering for over twenty or thirty years. It’s actually only fairly recently that LEGO has started taking an interest in our medium, with sets dedicated mainly to Nintendo and SEGA. On Sony's side, the Horizon franchise has also been featured in a few models, including the excellent long-Neck, which was released back then at an affordable price (around €/$70–80). After the NES (a great set) and the Mega Drive (more basic since it was offered at a "low" price), it’s now the turn of the very first PlayStation to become a LEGO set.

BeamNG.drive has been available in Early Access on Steam for over eleven years now and has already delighted many PC gamers. I you haven't heard of it, it is a racing game featuring a sophisticated physics engine and damage simulation that’s as extreme as it is realistic, but it’s above all a title where the freedom given to the player turns it into a true sandbox experience. Its arrival on PlayStation 5 this week is therefore a major event, even if Sony console owners will have to do without mods. There’s still plenty to do, however, with a career mode that guides novice players through the different features and possibilities, as well as a free-roam mode where you can do whatever you please. A wide variety of challenges are also on offer, such as rally races, chases where you play as either the police or the fugitive, or even 4x4 obstacle courses to name but a few. This PS5 Pro version features quite a pretty good image quality, but there's clear pop-in and the experience isn’t entirely smooth, with the frame rate clearly fluctuating between 40 and 60 fps. If you have a VRR display, you’ll notice the fluctuations less, but they’ll still be visible. Note the welcome HDR support, but also a user interface that can sometimes be a bit confusing to navigate with the controller.

With the relentless stream of releases over the past few weeks, we hadn’t been able to bring you anything for EA SPORTS FC 27. So here’s our gameplay video recorded on XBOX Series X.

Here is the new launch trailer for GTA VI featuring new music from electronic duo Justice.

Already available on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Tormented Souls 2 will also be available on Nintendo Switch 2 starting tomorrow. Here’s our gameplay video.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen is back on Gamersyde, this time with the Switch 2 version. Several display modes are available and you can find out more in our video : in the first part, FSR 3 Frame Generation is enabled and delivers a rather good sense of fluidity, but the input lag seems to suffer quite noticeably causing the controls to feel slightly sluggish. Then from 16:53, Frame Generation is disabled and you’ll see slightly sharper graphics, though you’ll obviously be limited to 30 FPS. Although there is a bit of pop-in and shadows aren’t quite as good as on other platforms, this Switch 2 version is generally quite impressive and proves once again that Nintendo’s latest console is more than capable of delivering high-quality ports.

If there are still a few old-school gamers hanging around here who aren’t quite as seasoned as the rest, there’s a good chance that the release of Toy Story in theaters in 1995 made you want to see Buzz and Woody again on the screen of your console back then. If you’ve been craving a little trip down memory lane as 2026 draws to a close, Digital Eclipse has got you, and your kids, covered with this week’s release of Toy Story: Retro Roundup! and Toy Story 3 Complete Edition. Since we’re more determined than ever to go to infinity and beyond for you, we’ve put together a quick written rundown inside, but of course we’ve also prepared two in-depth gameplay videos to go along with it all.

No matter how eagerly we await certain titles, the timing isn’t always ideal for us to put together a full review, let alone an English commented video. Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse has suffered a bit due to your favorite editors’ hectic schedule these past few days, but we didn’t want to leave you without some initial impressions. So, to kick off this afternoon on the right foot, we’re bringing you a Gamersyde Offline session on the PC version of Konami’s game, with automated English subtitles to make it easier to follow.

End of Abyss, which has been available for two weeks now, did not receive the reception some players and members of the press had hoped for upon its release. However, there’s no denying that it’s a game with a very polished aesthetic and atmosphere. This comes as no surprise, given that the team at Section 9 Interactive is made up of former developers from Tarsier Studios. In fact, it’s impossible not to notice the family resemblance when observing the animation of the heroine in this new title, which is, however, much more action-oriented than the Little Nightmares series. This twin-stick shooter was initially criticized for the repetitive nature of its gameplay loop and the lack of clarity in its map, but it also drew some negative comments due to a few technical issues. However, updates fixed some of these flaws just two days after its release, and the game is clearly in better shape today than it was on launch day. That said, not everything is perfect yet, as we still encountered a few visual bugs just a few days ago, not to mention that players are still complaining about how overly punishing the boss fights are—similar to those in Silksong in terms of resource management. While we haven’t played enough to give you an informed impression of the adventure as a whole, we can at least tell you that we were certainly impressed by the world it depicts and the overall atmosphere. Check out our video of the very beginning of the adventure to see what you can expect.

Time for a new review on Gamersyde. Valor Mortis, the new game from the creators of the challenging Ghostrunner series, is about to be released on PC, PS5 and XBOX Series consoles. After completing the adventure in about thirty hours, it’s time to deliver the verdict on this new title that rewrites French history in its own unique way.
