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
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.
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.
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.

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
The military-industrial complex need not be worried...
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 On-land though, it shows its outdated mechanics.
It is unlikely I will end up in the eighth circle covered in my own excrement after this review...
A cash-cow book series gets a cynical game...
For some reason, they remastered de Blob 2...
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
Outfox your friends...
An ambitious slice of 15th Century Bohemian historica
