Issue #181 of Official PlayStation Magazine Australia is out now! In this issue we take stock of the first six months of PS5's life, while also casting our eyes ahead on some of the most exciting exclusives (Returnal included). If you're already a PS5 owner it's been a really good time. But uh, you know, you're probably not a PS5 owner yet. Never fear, because the best is yet to come and we're all over it.

Also, because we were feeling reckless we ranked every single Final Fantasy game. Sometimes you just have to play with fire to feel alive, you know? One you've read the feature, do let us know if you agree (very kindly, of course).

Also inside, previews of: Aliens: Fireteam, Ninja Gaiden Collection, Nier Replicant, Keywe, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and a big dive into the newly announced PSVR 2!

All that, as well as the usual reviews and tomfoolery. The new issue of Official PlayStation Magazine - Australia is on newsstands right now.
