Steve Wright's Reviews

A Canadian-Australian games journalist and Editor-in-Chief at Stevivor, Australia's largest independant video games website. NHL 94 almost made the top 3.

Consider this an earnest recommendation: go and expand your horizons with Discovery Tour. You won't be disappointed.

Seeing Assassins presented as the enemy casts the game in a much different light and humanises the Templars at the same time.

5.5 / 10.0 - Kirby Star Allies
Mar 15, 2018

Star Allies isn't bad, it's just dull. Perhaps that's worse.

Despite a lacklustre remaster (I'm looking at you, textures), returning fans will feel right at home in Paradise City with Burnout Paradise Remastered. Though newcomers to the franchise may be a little disappointed at first because of its last-gen mentality, there's still a lot to enjoy with this neat little package.

It's not perfect, but it's still pretty fun. With single- and multiplayer offerings and a wealth of nostalgia, it's hard to do wrong with Age of Empires: Definitive Edition.

7 / 10.0 - Fe
Feb 15, 2018

Fe is simple yet complex, stylised and engaging. A six-hour affair, it's perfect for those who found delight in Journey and, to a lesser degree, Ori and the Blind Forest. For others, it might be too much style over substance.

This is one for Bayonetta hardcore fans or those who've missed out on the originals. It's also a brilliant way to get ready for Bayonetta 3.

A game of Rise and Fall makes you feel like everything you have done has really mattered. That every action taken mingles with those of others and changes the world. It's great.

While it's true that Shadow was starting to show its age in 2011 and is continuing to do so in 2018 — even rebuilt from scratch — those who've played the title before will revel in the new life that Sony's breathed into the classic. For those unfamiliar with the game, it'll be a harder sell — but that said, stick with it.

7 / 10.0 - AO Tennis
Jan 25, 2018

While Career gives AO Tennis some life, it still has the same issues as the game proper — major wins are celebrated the same as minor ones, and winning a tournament is hardly acknowledged at all.

6.5 / 10.0 - The Inpatient
Jan 23, 2018

The Inpatient has a solid core that is coupled with a gimmick that detracts from it.

3.5 / 10.0 - Hello Neighbor
Dec 13, 2017

Ultimately, the game is a mish-mash of concepts and half-cooked ideas that are never fully developed, wrapped up in a cutesy aesthetic that is at odds with its (at times) dark and disturbing themes. This is one to avoid.

This one definitely gets our recommendation, especially if you're into the genre.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 isn't a bad game by any means, but it's one that only die-hard JRPG fans will love.

6.5 / 10.0 - Hidden Agenda
Nov 23, 2017

In the end, I wish Hidden Agenda was more of a traditional PS4 game rather than a PlayLink gimmick. Still, with a solid (yet slightly predictable storyline; at least, the one I played through), it's well worth a go. Supermassive is quickly becoming my favourite Sony developer.

It's fun to play at some times, and frustrating in others.

Unlike a lack of response (or urgency) after the launch of Star Wars: Battlefront, I truly hope that lessons are learned quickly and implemented before Battlefront 2's player base walks away in protest. Again.

Super Lucky's Tale is by no means bad — it's simply good; fun, but easily forgettable. If it was released at a different time than Odyssey, it may have made more of an impression, but alas, here we are.

7.5 / 10.0 - Just Dance 2018
Oct 25, 2017

Just Dance 2018 is relatively inoffensive; it's a great purchase for those who didn't grab last year's iteration.
