Godfall Review: Here Is The Generic Launch Game You’ve Been Waiting For
Godfall is the quintessential launch game. This gilded PS5 release shows off the power of the new hardware with its intricate, reflective halls of gold and obsidian, bioluminescent plant life, and enemies who explode in a shower of particles. “Next-gen is here,” it shouts, in a scream that’s barely perceptible over the whistle of high-speed steel. […]
