If you have any love for the Mad Max world then this is a must see. Its a darkly rivetting look at the early life of Furiosa and yet another brilliant chapter in the saga. In comparison to Fury Road, It occasionally puts the brakes on the relentless action and allows for strands of emotional heft to be wound into the overall story without sacrificing entertainment.

As for the main players, a muscular yet almost balletic physical performance from Anya Taylor Joy who does wonders to convey the Furiosa character with very limited dialogue. She works well alongside a turned up to 11 Chris Hemsworth, clearly having the time of his life as Dementus.

The direction is on point, Miller knows his Mad Max wasteland inside and out and his visual and aural flair is as dynamic, gritty and downright unique as always with him nailing every scene, whether its a rip roaring vehicular chase or one of the more character based scenes which give the story occasional room to breathe.

Go and see it on a big **** off screen, with a big **** off sound system, because its **** great.

Colour me suitably excited 

BIG SPECIAL - POSTINDUSTRIAL HOMETOWN BLUES

PS5 also. I'm getting texture glitches, people disappearing, objects vibrating continuously on the ground. And that's only just after getting to Concord for the first time. 

It also didn't register that I'd already obtained a mission component before I was asked to complete it (i was exploring) so I had to go back to the place it was and then back to clear the glitch. It's a f***ing mess. I might just (ironically) give up and go back to playing Cyberpunk. 

So strange. Genuinely not my experience at all (came across all of that on the OG version though )

Just started replaying this on next gen. I don't remember it being this janky. Graphical bugs absolutely everywhere. 

What platform are you on? I can only remember one glitch (NPC stuck in floor) in my whole 80hr playthrough on the PS5.

Something cheery for the drab weather

Soft Play on thursday at bearded theory, a mate wants to see them and I don’t have enough fight in me. 

Those two are **** superb live. Bags of energy and always smash it out the park.

Lord Dying - Clandestine Transcendence

I think I'm about 50% of the way through Stellar Blade. It's very good tbh, and is possibly the most 'Triple A' Triple A game I've ever played. Ridiculously polished and user friendly.

I'll probably go for the Platinum.

Bud Spencer and Terence Hill

Superb. Absolutely loved those pair when I was a kid. Especially the two 'Trinity' movies.

Never seen the show, don't know what this is all about and have no intention of finding out. 

From what I have gleaned it all sounds shit anyway. 

It's a brilliant show.

Playstation Plus Extra - the big game being added is Red Dead Redemption 2.... AGAIN!

Great game, but surely virtually everyone will have already played it over the 6 years since it released and especially is you already had PS Plus when it last came on the service.

Still no 60fps update either.

Didn't know Peter Sutcliffe was part of the crew.

We've only gone and bloody done it!
