In many respects it feels like the game it should have been: the PS4 release was plagued with performance issues, but you can play the PS5 in Performance Mode at 1440p at 60 frames per second.Ĭontrol is one of the strangest games you’ll ever play, although if you’re familiar with its predecessor Alan Wake – which takes place in the same world and is about to be re-released for PS5 – you’ll have some idea of what to expect from a game that is all about the unexpected. The Ultimate Edition’s ray-traced graphics make it even more beautiful to look at than the original, and as it includes both DLCs it’s also longer lasting. It’s one of our very favourite PS5 games and we’ve lost endless hours to it.Ĭontrol was pretty great on PS4, but it’s astonishing in its PS5 incarnation. It’s not hugely different on the PS5 compared to the PS4 – it looks a bit sharper and you don’t have to wait as long between rooms – but we think the PS5 version is the best way to experience it, not least because the DualSense controllers are ideal for this kind of action game. But that’s okay, because Hades is perfectly pitched: it has that “just one more go” feeling that keeps you playing, and playing, and playing. And to do that, you’ll die hundreds of times. All you need to do is travel through four regions and get to the surface. In Hades you are Zagreus, the deeply sarcastic son of Hades, and you’re trying to escape the underworld.
But that’s okay, because each time you die you retain the powers, loot and weaponry you’ve already accumulated, enabling you to return to the site of your death and kick, shoot, stab or smash your killers before you inevitably get killed by something else. Hades is a roguelike, which means you’ll die.
