Steve Wright's Reviews
In the end, Infinite Minigolf is a simple, engaging little title that will keep you entertained for hours on end. While it mightn't provide the endless experience its title claims to provide, its price point should be enough to forgive it. Optional virtual reality (VR) on PS4 with PlayStation VR and PC with Oculus Rift, HTC Vive doesn't hurt either, though we weren't able to test these options on Xbox One.
The main mantra of Splatoon 2 seems to be 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it', and this is fine. This new Switch offering is robust, full of content and fun. Go and feed your hungry home-handheld hybrid.
Action, adventure, variety — those looking for a decent Ultimate Alliance fix need look no further than Marvel Heroes Omega. It's great.
In short, Final Fantasy XII was a great RPG, swapping out gunblades and epic, world-destroying storylines in favour of ones revolving around political intrigue; it remains as such. It's as fun to play now as it was back in the dying stages of the PS2, and is perfect for returning fans or those who missed out previously.
Ultra Despair Girls is repetitive, clunky and worst yet, overly long. An animated film that gathered up all the cutscenes would have served as a better continuation of the world of Danganronpa. This one's for obsessives only; all others need not apply.
World Series really embraces an Overwatch format, presenting each of the game's 12 vehicles as a different personality and build.
It's a no-brainer for those with a PlayStation Plus account and one to consider for those with a bunch of friends and worn out copies of Jackbox's finest. You'll definitely have to invest in a portable charger for your phone or tablet, though.
This one's a no-brainer, from fans of the original games to those looking for amazing platformers – Crash has it all.
ARMS has potential, but Nintendo's done its best to bury it under neon colours and a catchy theme tune.
WipEout Omega Collection won't hold your hand
With all the superfluous about, it's a good thing that Tekken 7 really relies on its core mechanics.
it's far easier tackle the bridge of the original U.S.S. Enterprise on your own.
If you're a fan of fighters, you've no doubt been spoiled of late by high-quality offerings that come with a range of extra features and — perhaps most importantly — engrossing, engaging story modes that help to create an attachment to characters. Ultra has none of this.
This sequel is far more than a fighter. It's a love letter to DC's heroes and villains
The promising story, reminiscent of every damn 70s sci-fi movie and one which drew me in almost immediately, really does take a backseat until the latter half of the game.
Judged as a shooter, Farpoint is as generic as they get; thankfully, Impulse Gear's effort has other things going for it. ... If you've a PlayStation VR, this is definitely one for the library.
Bland and generic against the computer, Playgrounds is infinitely better with friends. Priced competitively at around the $30 AUD mark, depending on console, it's worth a bounce if you go in with your expectations set at the right point.
Despite those rough patches, Prey is wholly engrossing, begging the player to solve Talos 1's many mysteries. It works well as a shooter, a stealth game and carries an 70s sci-fi vibe that is nothing short of a delight to experience.
If you're into puzzle games, Puyo Puyo Tetris is a nice new (well, newish) take on a familiar formula, though those that just want vanilla Tetris won't be left wanting either.
Sadly, much of Bulletstorm gets in its own way.
