While the original Sphere of Influence was dubbed a great yet somewhat basic strategy game, Ascension goes a step further to ensure fans of the series have a greater depth of gameplay and can get truly involved in the lore of Sengoku Japan.
Although Dishonored 2 didn’t feel quite as open-world and non-linear as we were hoping for, it still provided plenty of reasons to play through the game more than once, if not several times.
Dead Rising 4 is a fun, easy to pick up game which can bring you some Christmas joy and laughs, but stops short of offering anything amazing to the series.

VOLTA Football breathes some fresh life into the FIFA franchise, and while we have our suspicions that EA Sports was considering making it a standalone game, the fact it’s included and at the forefront of the menu screen means they decided it was better to include it in the overall FIFA 20 package and this only means good things for soccer fans.

While the campaign never goes for as long as we want it to, the online modes are everything hardcore Call of Duty fans could want and the Modern Warfare timeline is a welcome return to the franchise.
This is no Forza Horizon 4, but we’d say it’s a step up from 2017’s Need for Speed Payback.

In this strange world we now live in, live sports have become somewhat of a fantasy. MotoGP 20 provides a much needed fantasy craving for live motorsports, and with its extreme difficulty curve it’s not a game many will master in a hurry.
Moving Out has a good variety of levels and arcade games to keep players interested, which is important because of the repetitive nature of the game.
ZOS has done an amazing job creating the Western Skyrim and Blackreach zones for the latest expansion, and as strange as it sounds, adventuring throughout the icy landscape is a welcome relief from the greenery of Elsweyr and Summerset.
