Football Manager 2019 offering the best experience the series has yet to provide thanks to intelligent, subtle changes in its form rather than its content.

Unscored - Steep
Dec 15, 2016

Steep wants to impart a sense of freedom, but it lacks the courage to offer true openness and underwhelms as a result.

If you're going to attempt to make a mark on a genre that already boasts an exacting pedigree you must - one, introduce new ideas, and two, execute the established rules better than your peers.

Ultimately, FIFA 18 on Switch is a story of what could have been. Watered-down game modes give the whole experience a feeling of it being a work-in-progress rather than the complete package offered in the PS4 and Xbox One version.

But it's such a diluted, Sunday League experience it's impossible to recommend if you're already playing on home consoles.

Sunset Overdrive is not lacking in enjoyable moments and ideas, but the overall package doesn't manage to live up to the billing publisher Microsoft has thrust upon it.

At this point, unless you're an Assassin's Creed diehard, this offering is difficult to recommend in the face of the competition.

Undoubtedly, there's enormous potential for a UFC series that will in the future become a staple part of the EA Sports family. A few tweaks are needed, but things are on the right track.

Type-0 can often be a daring departure for the Final Fantasy series, but its uneven narrative and learning curve hold it back.

Grid Autosport is often too ambitious for its own good, resulting in a diverse but inconsistent racer.
