With a lack of modes and features in both online/offline play, (just three modes if you include the tutorial) / marred by poor server issues, and some pretty basic fighting mechanics; It is hard to support a purchase for the full recommended retail price. All the flash and impressive presentation values soon wear off. Story mode has its highs and lows that hardcore fans will love due to its faithful implementation of the original comic tale. Bleach REBirth Of Souls will prove popular to hardcore fans who love the nostalgia factor, (whilst arguably just grateful for an actual Bleach video game release). I felt the game could and should offer much more. A lack of depth in modes and its basic gameplay mechanics leave me feeling what could have been had more time been pumped into this release. REBirth Of Souls is a rough diamond that sadly, probably didn't have the budget to match the ambition.
WWE 2K25 builds on last years foundations, with increased polish and upgrades to provide an experience that plays better than last years whilst trying out some fresh new modes. The Island probably needed another years work for a more seamless, enjoyable playthrough.
With some fantasic puzzles met with some fustrating level designs, control mechanics that are improved but still feel flawed (in modern) this is a release that will please fans itching for more expeditions. Aspyr have done a fantastic job fixing up the graphics and presentation of the game, to bring it upto a relatively sound PS3 looking title. Tomb Raider IV-VI remastered looks great in 4k and runs smoothly in 60fps.
