it’s a fine shooter in its execution and the campaign is brilliant but it needs more content and gadgets as at the moment it doesn’t really set itself apart from previous years

It all comes together and wrapped up into a complete package that is hard to fault and all I can say is Assassin’s Creed is back baby!

8.8 / 10.0 - DiRT 5
Nov 2, 2020

Dirt 5 could be the definitive arcade racer. It cuts out all the tweaking and modifications to the vehicles and lets you just spray a car how you want and jump straight in!

Oct 9, 2020

Regardless of your stance on the subject, Ben 10 Power Trip is a mediocre game that entertains but never steps outside the realm of casual.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2 prove that not only can you get a good Tony Hawk game but more importantly shows that gamers still want an arcade Skateboarding game.

6.8 / 10.0 - Windbound
Aug 28, 2020

Windbound is a game trying to do something but never nails the formula and instead comes off as an almost incomplete experience.

The game does a really good job of conveying the gameplay and appearance of the original Resident Evil games, but the problem is, the world has moved on, and when the camera angles are so acute and obscured it makes what should be a nostalgic trip, very frustrating. The gunplay is overly sensitive and inconsistent as you never really know where you are shooting or you cannot judge distance and angles very well.

7.2 / 10.0 - Boomerang Fu
Aug 27, 2020

You may not be playing this hardcore in solo or even with friends but it is a game that should be in your multiplayer bundle and is a ton of fun with friends even if the actual game part is somewhat lacking.

Kandagawa Jet Girls is a standard racing game with mega chesticle ladies all over it, the story is forgettable, the tracks are pretty plain but the characters are a colorful bunch!

It has a strong story and is a good adventure game with decent combat but it does play it quite safe and never pushes outside of the safety zone.

In short, it’s a game that has a lot of potentials but squanders it with unneeded obstacles.

Battletoads never shrugs off its 90s roots and refuses to grow up and act like an adult.

Microsoft deserves a lot of credit for what has been achieved here, gamers take note as it might be a long time until we see this sort of innovation again. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is not for the enthusiasts anymore, it’s for everybody.

10 / 10.0 - Hellpoint
Aug 17, 2020

Hellpoint makes no bones about it, It’s a Dark Souls game through and through. It is also a very good Dark Souls type game with a really good setting and satisfying combat, it’s hard not to fall in love with it all.

9 / 10.0 - Risk of Rain 2
Aug 13, 2020

I just can’t emphasize how good the game is and how much fun it is, it scratches many itches at the same time but most of all it is enjoyable and accessible as even if you suck, you can still advance.
