None of these problems keep PES 2016 from being the greatest football game of all time. The question is no longer whether PES can catch FIFA, and in truth hasn't been for a while. Instead, it's the other way around, and may well be for years.
More Office Angels than Hells Angels.
A confused and confusing shooter which can't capitalise on the famous franchise it leans on.
Not as bad as the last one, but still nowhere near good enough.
A great hook falls foul of terrible bugs, inconsistent mechanics, and woeful performance issues.
An elaborate version of Pac-Man that isn't anywhere near as scary as it thinks it is.
Fun in the short term, but lacks intensity and excitement.
London is wonderful, but Assassin's Creed's inherent problems ensure Syndicate never comes close to doing its world justice.
A wonderful upgrade of one of the most derivative and dull titles in the series.
An intriguing narrative is bogged down by sparse mechanics and repetitive environments.
Short and not particularly sweet, Operation Broken Eagle is an unimpressive first stab at giving Dead Rising 3 some worthwhile DLC.
Toren's weak central mechanics, repetitive action, and overall bugginess are mitigated somewhat by its engaging mood and direction.
Starts strongly, but soon fades into a slog through samey puzzles and ever-weaker environments.
Not the disaster many had anticipated, but also fundamentally flawed.
Frustrating controls, a bland world, and various technical issues stop Just Cause 3 from being the mindless action classic it clearly wants to be.
New additions fail to mask old problems.
Another mediocre effort.
Sunset Overdrive has some excellent ideas, but its triumphs are sadly suffocated beneath ultra-repetitive mission design and unsatisfying enemy encounters.
Pneuma can appear pompous and over-reaching, and those who buy it for the puzzles alone will walk away disappointed. As a package though, it's worth checking out.
Pretty yet uninspired. Killzone, then.
