NHL 23 - Sony PlayStation 4 (PS4)

The face-off mechanics feel much smoother this year, and I love how the new cross-play actually lets me match up with friends on other consoles. Finding a complete copy with the manual and case was a nice bonus too.

I’ve been playing through the season mode and love how the AI actually adapts to your play style mid-game. The graphics are crisp on PS4 and the controls feel responsive enough to pull off a perfect one-timer. A solid pickup if you’re into hockey games.

The new physics engine makes hitting feel way more satisfying, and the presentation is crisp on PS4. Gameplay is smooth even in the busiest offensive rushes.
