4.9 / 10.0 - Crackdown 3
Feb 17, 2019

An exercise in mediocrity that would have flown under the radar were it not for the ludicrous development cycle and marketing.

Castlevania Requiem takes two of the series' best but doesn't do all that much to repackage them for the uninitiated

6.3 / 10.0 - Warriors Orochi 4
Oct 22, 2018

Mixes bland enemies and environments with spectacular bosses, playable characters and effects. Repetitive and sometimes a chore but the story is worth SOME of it.

8 / 10.0 - Dakar 18
Oct 13, 2018

The experience is slightly rough and given a little polish, it may well have been as perfect as a Dakar game could be. As it stands, DAKAR 18 is a thoroughly decent stab at an underserviced sport that offers an uncompromising challenge for those seek it.

Assassins' Creed: Odyssey tells an epic, winding tale befitting the lesser bards of the classical era - no mean feat for a video game. That it's based in one of the most beautiful maps ever made is also nice, obviously.

8.6 / 10.0 - F1 2018
Aug 26, 2018

Interviews, R&D, testing, rule changes and a holistic approach to F1 driverdom make F1 2018 the best we have seen in years

Those of you who are begging for a reason to load up KC:D will find something to spend a few hours on. But 'From the Ashes' will do little for anyone else. The low asking price however, takes some of the edge off of the criticism.

While the hammer, gun and remote explosive are fun to tear across Mars with, the explosive action becomes dulled by repetition and the flow is too often broken by frequent frame-burps and crashes...

3.6 / 10.0 - Conan Exiles
May 18, 2018

There is a little potential buried underneath the rubble that is Conan Exiles. The world, though sparse and slightly ugly does fit the license. The PvP is suitably unforgiving, the challenge of surviving the world brings out the worst in people and the best in the game.

6.8 / 10.0 - State of Decay 2
May 16, 2018

When lined up with its predecessor in their respective years of release, SoD2 just doesn’t capture the imagination in the same way but is still worth playing

8.9 / 10.0 - Far Cry 5
Mar 25, 2018

A believable but no less intense story with tight gameplay set in a notably detailed and beautiful open world. Ubisoft have done an incredible job of refreshing another of their biggest franchises.

Shay-Shay's maritime tale is still worth experiencing if you have need for the Assassin's Creed brand of piracy. On-land though, it shows its outdated mechanics.

Gravel's vehicle selection is small but well-chosen, the tracks are interesting to drive the rally classics around and online multiplayer is simple to use and well implemented
