F1 2017 is marred by the immense shadow that is F1 2016’s greatness. It goes at great length to try and build upon what was started last year, but doesn’t polish it, or make it different, enough for it to stand out. If you are looking for a simulation racer for Formula 1, and you don’t already have F1 2016, then F1 2017 should be bought.
Dirt 4 lets you throw cars around narrow tracks at high speeds, it allows you to pit your machinery and wit against the world, it lets you blaze a trail of glory across the world and put your team in the spotlight. Dirt 4 is the embodiment of what we want, and remember, motor racing to be.
World to the West is a truly vibrant game that will have you bursting forth with your inner Indiana Jones.
Having never played the previous two Syberia games, I can only comment on Syberia 3 as a standalone game. I have to say overall it is currently not very polished. It does have two things going for it though, the story and characters adding a great amount of depth to a game which otherwise would fall into obscurity otherwise.
Virginia is extremely well made and a sight for you to behold, a well-developed drama that should be experienced by all. There are issues I found with it, which detract from the experience, but outside of the controls I can see why they were used.
Aside from the initial impressions of Rive it has never set a foot wrong, and never needed to fight its way into my good books.
F1 2016 is fantastic and is the provisional pole sitter of the series. One for every F1 fan and a definite must have for the racer in your life. Being able to battle against 21 other real life opponents, not just in a single race but in a full season, is a whole different formula for the F1 series. It's an experience we have been yearning for over the past few years and welcome changes add depth with reducing the entry level.
N.E.R.O is a beautiful game, but it lacks puzzle depth and the story will not be for everyone. That is not to say it isn’t good. It just won’t hit all the right notes with everyone.
