The Crew 2 does what it does with solid assuredness. It's just a shame that what it does is so bland and middle of the road.
The experienced driving game devs look to other genres for inspiration and deliver a mash-up which provides a unique, chaotic and downright fun experience for many hours.
From Software and Miyazaki’s triumph with technical upgrades, dedicated servers and the DLC included. There is nothing better.
Detroit is simply unlike anything else available. For that reason alone it deserves to be played, but when allied with the chance to create your own story that will not be the same for many others and the stunning tech on show, what more do you need?
A well-designed and well-executed platformer which is mechanically sound; the problem comes when you realise you feel nothing and are playing for playing’s sake rather than because you’re enjoying it.
Burnout Paradise Remastered is the benchmark for open world twitch racers. Visiting for the first — or 1000th time — is a delight from start to finish.
Interactive entertainment is the holy grail of many game developers-cum-movie makers, and in #WarGames we have another nice idea flawed by the story being told and the lack of clear interaction granted to the player.
A game made by those behind The Stanley Parable that quite frankly is a repeat of the first trick, done badly.
Kirby Star Allies provides kinetic joy for one or more players and without a challenge which causes you to go blue in the face, ensuring its place in the Switch’s library as a platformer of choice.
Two masterpieces in every regard, Bayonetta and its sequel still provide the consummate action adventure with combat which has not been bettered, outrageous stories and a main character of sheer brilliance. Play these games, I implore you.
The stories being told are delightful in their own right, fully enveloped in searing atmosphere and wonderfully spine-tingling.
Puzzle Puppers achieves what it sets out to do with aplomb. It’s an irreverent puzzler with animal-like charm which is fun to play for all ages and all skill levels, at all times. It functions as an intense workout for your brain or something to fill those short gaps between jobs. It does so whilst allowing you to play with dogs at the same time and, quite frankly, who wouldn’t want that?
After around one and a half hours the game is over. Nothing much changed for me in those final thirty minutes - finishing the game was almost like a chore. The scenes and the interactive aspects didn’t add much to the overall story, which was pretty much done by the hour mark.
Disc Jam invokes the spirit of days gone by in arcades of old playing air hockey, and works well, but doesn’t quite have the oomph to impress upon you any must-have demands.
If you stick with it you'll find a decent racer here but getting past the inane narrative, broken progression systems and longing for racers past takes some doing.
A delightful game, full of things today that are very much an Assassin's Creed game. However it's still far removed from what an Assassin's Creed game used to be - for some this is good; for others, less so.
A brilliantly done driving simulator, but without any serious single-player campaign to go alongside the online timesink.
EA own this sector. FIFA has everything you want and is fun right until the next one comes out.
The best in the series since Uncharted 2, Chloe Frazer's Indian sojourn is a thrilling, fresh and engaging adventure.
Le Tour De France Season 2017 is the Team Sky of cycling games. It is the best of the genre, it is familiar and it's liked by only the true hardcore.
