REVIEW: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced (2026 Video Game) - on Xbox

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced successfully brings back one of the franchise's most memorable adventures while improving many areas that needed modernising. Built using the latest Anvil engine, the remake delivers enhanced visuals, improved parkour, upgraded stealth, a better exploration system and impressive weather effects that make sailing the Caribbean more enjoyable than ever.

Having originally not been a huge fan of the pirate elements in Black Flag, this remake completely changed my opinion. The improvements to gameplay, the removal of the old present-day sections, and the introduction of the Animus Hub and Rifts make this feel like a much smoother experience. With around 70 hours of content available through exploration, side activities and the main story, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a top three Assassin's Creed game and a fantastic return to Edward Kenway's adventure.

REVIEW: The End of the Sun (2026 Video Game) - on Playstation 5

The End of the Sun is a first person adventure set in a Slavic inspired fantasy world where you play as the Ashter, a fire mage and tracker of mythical beings. You arrive in a village caught in a strange time rift, where reality has broken apart and only smouldering hearths hint at what once happened. Using a magical connection to fire, you uncover hidden traces of past events, interact with spirits, and follow the path of a legendary creature across a landscape shaped by myth and forgotten rituals.

The core experience revolves around moving between bonfires, solving light environmental puzzles, and travelling through time to witness different stages of the same village across seasons and years. Each discovery alters how events unfold, gradually revealing a larger mystery tied to the distortion of time itself. Exploration, investigation and atmospheric storytelling drive the experience, although progression can occasionally be disrupted by unclear direction or technical issues that affect flow.
