Essays, Reviews, Previews, Opinions and Movies
Comprehensive materials about games, movies, hardware and beyond. We share opinions, review and explain. Gamepressure.com provides a range of reviews of the most important games, previews of upcoming titles, and insight into the history of the video game industry. In our editorials, we discuss various subjects, ranging from in-depth analyses of sandbox worlds, through scandals and controversies in the industry, to hardware guides. We also cover movies and TV series, and explore the fringe of video games and pop-culture.
If you're looking for reviews of games such as Deathloop or Encased, or new info and rumors about Saints Row, you're in the right place.
We particularly recommend the piece The Best Sims 4 Mods - 2021 Update, which has been especially popular with our users.
Deathloop is awash in retro 60’s style but at the cost of real substance. Clunky gunplay and only a handful of special abilities hold what could have been a great game back. The time travel plot had promise but untimely goes unrealized.
After watching the latest PlayStation Showcase conference, I have very mixed feelings. On the one hand, Sony showed some really exciting games; on the other, their release dates are either distant, or totally unspecified.
Just like clockwork and right before the start of a new NBA season, NBA 2K22 is back with another bigger, bolder installment to give fans more of what they want.
The Sims is one of the most phenomenal series of video games, especially if you consider that it's been around for nearly two decades. The latest installment, The Sims 4, is sure a fun game, but you can make it even better with our selection of mods!
Imagine a future where people are so dependent on virtual worlds that most of their lives – crimes included – takes place inside them. Hire a game detective to solve the case.
Uncharted is one of the most appreciated series. In theory, it should appeal to me, too, because I appreciate good, linear action games. Unfortunately, there was a lot that didn't sit right with me, which is why I can't understand the phenomenon.
Some games can be called masterpieces, others – complete flops. Most of them are more or less solid propositions occupying mediocre territory. Here, we look at games that go both ways – are at the same time ambitious, but boring.

Saints Row 5 Won't be Saints Row. New Direction for the Series is Coming
Saints Row: Self Made is the announced title of entry number five. New direction means less craziness, no rubbernecking, and no kitsch. Does it make sense? I'm still looking for the answer to that question, though I tentatively like it.

Can't Wait For GTA 6 - So Give Me Saints Row Already!
The new Saints Row makes a big departure from the rest of the series in terms of temper. And for me, that's great, because I'll be happy to play an open-world, gangster story that's a little more out there, but not gross. Also, GTA 6 won't come soon, too.

Diversity of Games is Their Biggest Merit - Let's Keep it That Way
