Let the adventures of "Spider-Cop" play out for as long as possible, Insomniac. We love them.

9.7 / 10.0 - Forza Horizon 4
Sep 25, 2018

Like an interactive painting, photo, or time-lapse video -- Forza Horizon 4 showcases the passage of time in an idyllic world where car racing is all but a religion.

Ubisoft Quebec has made you a cog in the Peloponnesian war, but they've also allowed you to dress up that cog however you see fit, and this transcends the cosmetic, right through to being able to romance other characters in the game-world. A game-world that is truly alive.

Rockstar, my dusty old hat is off to you. You've made this old videogame cowboy a very happy camper.

Call of Cthulhu is for the diehards only.

11-11: Memories Retold, however, is still a game worth more than a look-in, and at roughly five-to-six hours, you'll gain a deep and respectful look at one of the world's most jarring global conflicts, from the perspectives of the individual.

I honestly hope this becomes a longstanding series, it's simply that good.

But is that at all bad?.

8.9 / 10.0 - Ashen
Jan 22, 2019

The game's AI companions are actually very good, but because of the above it's definitely more highly recommended you try and coax a friend in to return to the light with you.

8 / 10.0 - Resident Evil 2
Jan 25, 2019

Plenty of value if you’re a survival-horror/horror fan, or just a Resident Evil fan, but for mine -- a brand new experience would have been more welcome.

7.8 / 10.0 - Wargroove
Feb 12, 2019

This fledgling developer-publisher is on the right path to making a nostalgia-based name for itself if it stays this course.

Nothing in this new game-world actually really makes any sense, and Ubisoft Montreal isn't afraid to take that to a level we can all bite into, without really ever having any attachment to it.

9 / 10.0 - Trials Rising

And like Trials and RedLynx, for that last joke, sorry not sorry.

If, like me, you’ve always just shied from games that punish for the sake of punishing, but thoroughly enjoy a story with mystery, excellent dialogue and unique fantastical components, Sekiro will punish, but it will also deliver in damascus folds. Folds upon folds. Prepare to die though, and much more than twice.

6.6 / 10.0 - Days Gone
Apr 26, 2019

Days Gone is contextually broken, its gunplay is deplorable, its ‘open-world’ premise is a joke and its narrative consistently overrides that open-world ‘design’ goal.

Her and Hugo's mother, <b>Beatrice</b>, spends most of her time with Hugo and has an understanding of alchemy as a result of his illness, which becomes important later.

A great foundation that is mechanically sound and will delight in the early hours. Stick around too long, however, and Chaosbane reveals a dearth of classes, enemies and environments. Also a weak endgame.

7 / 10.0 - The Sinking City
Jun 27, 2019

So, if you like lateral thinking, great [branching] storytelling and excellent voice-acting, and can look past a drab, repetitive sheen that is less gameplay heavy and more set-dressing, you’ll still find a gem in this H.P. Lovecraft love letter to the sea, left in an old bottle to wash up on your shore.

8.8 / 10.0 - Samurai Shodown
Jul 18, 2019

Moreover, failure to get that timing right essentially leaves you open to a smart, reactive player capable of truly reading the play.
