As a welcome gesture to the original classic, the Definitive Edition also includes nostalgic Dante and Vergil costumes. Overall, if you missed DmC when it arrived in 2013 and fancy a hack'n'slash game along the lines of Bayonetta or Ninja Gaiden, then this PS4 edition is certainly the best way to experience the game.
Hardline is certainly a different Battlefield experience, but it retains a lot of the core mechanics that should keep fans of the franchise content. The action is faster, less strategic, and less deliberate than it's predecessor, but there is a reason why this isn't titled Battlefield 5.
Buy Arkham Knight. Become the Batman. You won't be disappointed.
It's a shame about the bugs, which could be the product of meeting the movie deadlines rather than oversights from the developers; or maybe the fact that it had to sit alongside four other LEGO titles this year alone. But if you can look past randomly flying triceratops or temperamental vines - LEGO Jurassic World is still fun, full of charisma, and with enough unlockables and customisation to keep your attention.
Overall, and like other recent remasters, it would be hard to recommend this to those who have already played God of War 3. But for those who haven't - this is certainly God of War at its best, and it's a chance to experience one of the best beat-em up platformers the last generation console had to offer.
Despite these niggles, FIFA 16 brings exciting football to life and being able to control the ball better and run at defenders with confidence makes for some thrilling game time. As expected with FIFA - the soundtrack is appropriately diverse and appealing, and there isn't any noticeable lag online yet either. It's a worthy step-up from FIFA 15 by fine-tuning small aspects of the game, but not compromising the formula fans have grown to love.
There are already plenty of add-on sets due for release in the coming months, including packs featuring Aquaman, Doc Brown, and Bart Simpson; and with LEGO's brand presence and ability to attract franchises, there is no limit to what might be around the corner. So if your wallet is equally limitless, there is a lot of good old fashioned family fun to be had here.
With all of this thrown in, the game still only clocks in at around 5 - 6 hours - which is short considering there is no multiplayer to back it up. It does include a number of Challenge missions, where players can revisit scenarios and take on waves of enemies to best their time and high score, but overall the game is short-lived. It is action-packed however, and combined with the amount of 80's Transformers fanfare added in, it's a decent experience for anyone who still remembers Soundwave as a retro cassette tape deck.
A great evolution to the controller, but lacks the fun of the originals.
Intense and a refreshing change of pace for a shooter, but only if you have the right team beside you.
Everyone should try this game, even if you hate cars or football.
Prehistoric beast petting simulator, with extras.
Plenty of promise, but this game is going to require some decent updates over the coming months.
A surprisingly complicated shooter that could prove worthwhile for those who invest the time.
An epic masterpiece worth saving your gold doubloons for.
Not a Megan Fox in sight... and it’s still terrible.
Han Solo steals the show again, even in tiny minifig form.
Not mushroom for error and the steaks are high in this recipe for multiplayer fun.
Slightly better than being run over by a tractor.
FIFA 17 feels like an evolution, rather than a marginal update.
