UFC 5 is here, finally bringing one of the biggest fighting franchises in the world to the current generation of consoles – a jump up in division if you will. Prior to release, there’s been a lot of talk around the improvements that EA are aiming for, and now it is time to see just how UFC 5 weighs in. A future Hall of Famer or not quite a contender?
UFC 5 is slated to be as realistic as possible to the real action of the Octagon, and the career mode is the best place to start with the game to get to grips with its different systems. In career mode, you can choose to import a fighter or create one from scratch in the weight class of choice, before starting your journey up from fighting in back yards up through to the top of the competitive scene.The early fights are designed to get you used to the different controls from basic strikes, moving on to clinches, grappling, and submissions.
Between fights you’ll be at the gym. You can choose how long your training camps will take, from one week to a maximum of six weeks later in the mode. It is advisable to go for the longest amount of time possible, as after each fight your fighter’s fitness will drop to low and will need to be reconditioned.
To do this you can do sparring sessions, split between boxing, Brazilian jiu jitsu, muay thai and wrestling. You can also invite other fighters to the gym to learn their moves, learn about your opponent, and hype fights too. However, these cost and you have a budget of 100 points per week. Sparring sessions cost 40 points while inviting a fighter costs 50 points plus currency earned in fights. It is a budget management task to work out how to spend those points. The career mode does fall into a repetitive cycle. Luckily, if you score well in the sparring sessions you can simulate them later on instead of repeating the same training sessions.
The other single player mode is Fight Contracts, which will be refreshed regularly. Essentially, this is a challenge mode where fights are set up with specific fighters and difficulty levels. Each one comes with up four attempts to beat it, rewarding you with XP. Fail all the attempts and you cannot try the challenge again.
The action in the octagon can vary from fast paced brutality with fighters trading blows to more methodical bouts with fighters taking their time. This all depends on the different styles with a large roster of fighters available to pick from. Strikers will likely be the favourite picks for most as they will allow for the more entertaining, action packed fights. However, those who want to focus on grappling and submission fights will go for the wrestlers and BJJ fighters. The submission system has been overhauled to make things simpler and easier to work with. Gone

Even though there is a remake of the classic and adored in development, is the next installment in Ubisoft’s popular franchise and may shake things up for the series in a very positive manner.

When Tales of Arise dropped in 2021, producer Yusuke Tomizawa confirmed at the time that the game would not be getting any story expansions via DLC or updates. That seemed like a fine deal, at the time – Tales games aren’t exactly known for getting post-launch expansions, and it had a pretty satisfying narrative conclusion that left a smile on my face. Sure, the ramifications of the ending left some big ideas unexplored, but they felt more like inconsequential background details when compared to the character-driven drama that was really pushing things along. Despite a satisfying conclusion and promises of no DLC continuation, a massive post-game DLC has now arrived for Tales of Arise called Beyond the Dawn, and while it’s nice to be able to return to this world and these characters, I’m still not fully convinced we needed to.
When I started into Berzerk: Recharged, I was shocked. There were no robot voices.
