Eddie Stubbington's Reviews
Anno 2205 is a crazy amount of fun, with a wide variety of locations, activities and a fairly rich campaign it's hard to put down.
RIME is a beautiful third person puzzle game, which I can't get enough of. However, the puzzles are simplistic and don't offer much of a challenge.
Ghost Recon Wildlands is a must buy. A game you should be playing with your mates every evening for a bit of fun, In a vast open-world that never runs out of options of where to go and what to do next.
Torment: Tides of Numenera is like marmite. You're either going to love it or hate it, but if you love it, you'll really love it.
Valley’s run and jump gameplay is a huge amount of fun when you’re going fast, but the moment it slows you down the gameplay becomes annoying and bland.
Farming Simulator 17 Improves over most of the previous versions, but, still needs a bit of work
Killing Floor 2 is a cross between COD Zombies and DOOM, it's loads of fun with friends but lacks content in certain areas.
Watch Dogs 2 is very different, in a good way, compared to Watch Dogs. Brand new game mechanics, a well done story and a solid co-op mode. Ubisoft have added what was missing in the first game and improved what was bad as well.
In Summary, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has a slow start to its cinematic campaign and has an average multiplayer experience.
Overall, Batman: Return to Arkham is a good purchase if you haven’t picked up the games included before or just want to return to the games and check out the DLC content at a lower price. The graphics could still be improved greatly but they are suffcient for now.
Gears of War 4 has a cinematic campaign and a really well done horde mode, however, the story is poorly written and doesn't offer anything amazing to the player
One of the best entries to the franchise, provides not just an amazing multiplayer experience but also a well told-story.
A unique title that works well with co-op mode, however, the POV can cause nausea
Project Highrise is one of the most in-depth skyscraper simulators and is the best simulator game I have played
X-COM 2 wants to make you work for every victory in a world where playing it safe can mean disaster. At every turn, it's about acting fast, moving decisively and seizing the advantage when an opportunity arises.
The best entry to the franchise in years, NHL 17 adds one of the best game modes yet
A huge and vast open world that you can't resist, The best racing game ever
In Summary, Bioshock: The Collection is a welcome upgrade for fans of the series and gamers that want to explore the franchise for the first time. Sadly no multiplayer is included for this release but you won’t miss out on a great story.
This year’s release into the F1 game franchise is the best one yet
In Summary, if you are looking for a fighting game on PS4 this year, pick it up as it's good fun even though complicated in places. The graphics are a generation behind, however, this doesn't really effect the gameplay at all. If you are looking for a story mode, I would avoid King of Fighters XIV as it's too shallow to be worth £50 unless you have played the previous games.
