Whether you’re a series fan or a newcomer looking for the perfect entry point, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Mega Mix fits the bill.
Ultimately, Ion Fury is just a disappointment on console.
Some of Huntdown‘s boss battles might have elements that feel a little unfair, especially on higher difficulty levels, but it can’t be denied that it’s a great game with lots of character.
With all of its issues, it’s hard to recommended Daymare: 1998. Some, however, will be able to grit their teeth and enjoy it – it’s not all bad.
Predator: Hunting Grounds isn’t a terrible game. Not at all. But it’s just not good enough.
Take nostalgia out of the equation, and Streets of Rage 4 is the best entry in the series yet.
Gears Tactics is the best Gears of War game since the original trilogy came to a close.
A unique combination of genres, Sakura Wars is ultimately a compelling adventure that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
All in all, MotoGP 20 is undoubtedly the best MotoGP game yet.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is the best JRPG from Square since Final Fantasy VII.
Right now, Bleeding Edge is an enjoyable but light multiplayer diversion.
If you’ve never played Zombie Army Trilogy before and are wanting to pop some undead skulls, you should seriously consider picking this up. [OpenCritic note: Richard Seagrave separately reviewed the PS4 (7) and Switch (8) versions. The scores have been averaged.]
In terms of thrills and spills, Resident Evil 3 offers what is perhaps the best Resident Evil campaign ever.
Whether you’re a fan of Warriors games or One Piece, One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 is easy to recommend.
So, if you love Control, definitely consider picking it up.
If only DiRT Rally 2.0 Game of the Year Edition wasn’t so hard on players then it would be perfect. It’s near enough for most, though. This is undoubtedly the best rally game available right now. And it probably will be until the next DiRT Rally emerges.
It’s perhaps the best of the classic DOOMs, if you don’t mind that its soundtrack doesn’t have tunes that you can tap your feet to, that is.
Saints Row IV: Re-Elected‘s over-the-top antics, larger-than-life characters and superpower-focused gameplay make it one of the most ludicrous ways to waste away a decent number of hours.
It’s more than just TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge with additional content stuffed in: it’s an accomplished sequel. So, if you’re gutted that you can’t watch the real thing this year, pick this up. It’s sure to soften the blow.
As the credits rolled after a final boss fight to remember, all we had in our minds was “that was epic”. And that’s exactly what DOOM Eternal is: epic.
