Peter Taylor's Reviews
7 Days to Die had the potential to be something impressive but with frequent glitches and game freezes it falls well short of being the game it could so easily be.
Overall then TransOcean 2 is a distinctly average game. It’s not standout in its genre nor is it a weak link and at its purest it’s a solid economic simulator if a touch lightweight.
Trials of the Blood Dragon is a bit hit and miss, some of the gimmicks work while other frustrate and fall entirely flat. Whilst die-hard Trials fans will have preferred to have had a more pure experience one can only hope this is just a way of keep the series in gamers consciousness.
Despite clunky combat and an unremarkable story Mirror's Edge Catalyst star still shines thanks to excellent community features.
Stellaris is a game that begs you to explore but with erratic sector AI and trait conflicting win conditions it is a confusing and at times unexciting game to play.
A beautiful game that rewards those who lose themselves in the story and the world that Stoic Studio has weaved.
It may not have the WRC cars and courses but it's easily the best rally simulation available.
Far Cry Primal is far from perfect but thanks to its historical setting it is a breath of fresh air for the franchise.
If you're looking for a quick game to blast away five minutes you could do a lot worse than Shooting Stars!
What it does it does well there's plenty of replay value however the issues with crashes are a concern.
Starcraft II shows that even in the modern era there's still a place for an isometric RTS.
Whilst there's some entertainment to be had it's certainly lacking in high seas high jinks.
Elite: Dangerous is a superb game with plenty of room for growth and maturation.
A huge step in the right direction but is a tough on newcomers who may be put off by its complexity.
Veterans of the genre may find many of the puzzles straightforward but it's worth picking up if you haven't already.
