A surprisingly enjoyable, yet ultimately flawed action-adventure romp.

4 / 10.0 - Perfect Universe
Oct 16, 2017

While it looks and sounds great, Perfect Universe sadly fails as a collection of pick-up-and-play minigames.

Nov 1, 2017

It's not perfect, but Metroid: Samus Returns is a resounding return to form for the series and a must-play for all 3DS owners.

Nov 16, 2017

While it does gets tiresome in the later stages, Fire Emblem Warriors excellently blends frantic hack-and-slash with deep strategic role-playing to deliver a package that fans of both series are certain to love.

3 / 10.0 - Rugby 18
Jan 8, 2018

Rugby 18 is a broken mess of a game and a dreadful representation of a beloved British sport.

Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Video Game is an enjoyable representation of Supercross, but doesn't quite reach its true potential.

Mar 27, 2018

A vital entry for fans who missed out the first time, Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered boasts an excellent story and beautifully upgraded 4K visuals, but feels extremely dated next to Origins.

8 / 10.0 - Far Cry 5
Apr 4, 2018

Far Cry 5 builds impressively on the solid gameplay elements which made the series what it is today, and is a fun, rip-roaring open-world gaming experience that few in 2018 will surpass.

10 / 10.0 - God of War
Apr 30, 2018

With an exceptional story, brilliant acting, superb controls and gorgeous level design, God of War is a masterpiece and is easily the best title on the platform to date, and possibly the generation.

Space Hulk: Deathwing Enhanced Edition has a few enjoyable moments, especially in multiplayer, but, despite a few graphical improvements, and some technical fixes, it does very little to improve on 2016's original. The game is simply a old, boring and downright lacklustre first-person experience.

Jun 30, 2018

Mario Tennis Aces is one of the best arcade tennis simulators on the market, especially when played with friends, but a lack of content will see many lose interest rather quickly.

Jul 22, 2018

Lego The Incredibles sticks to the tried and trusted Lego formula, adding a sprinkle of new features here and there. However, the same bugs and glitches which have dogged the Lego series persist and the game feels somewhat lacking in comparison to previous titles.

Jul 27, 2018

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on the Switch version is certainly the definitive way to play. Boasting brilliant level design, puzzle creation and ingenuity. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is easily one of the best titles on the Switch, and deserves a second chance to shine.

Aug 7, 2018

Despite the bugs, Train Sim World is an meticulously detailed and uncompromisingly accurate railroad simulator that will provide train aficionados endless hours of enjoyment.

Sep 30, 2018

Despite lacklustre side activities, Marvel's Spider-Man's story and core gameplay mechanics represents a new benchmark for all superhero titles, and is a must play for all PS4 owners.

8 / 10.0 - SoulCalibur VI
Oct 17, 2018

With a polished fighting system, deep story mode, and buckets of content, Soul Calibur VI is easily one of the best fighting games of the generation.

Oct 22, 2018

Red Dead Redemption 2 takes everything that made the first so spectacular and elevates it to a new level. It boasts an enthralling story, coupled with rock solid gameplay, and is perhaps one of the best games ever made.

5 / 10.0 - Fallout 76
Nov 21, 2018

Despite Appalachia's appeal, Fallout 76 is broken mess of a game that, in its current state, feels nothing more than a shamefully unfinished cash-grab that isn't fit to use the Fallout name.

7 / 10.0 - Darksiders III
Nov 26, 2018

Despite an intriguing story and excellent character development, dull visuals and technical gremlins make Fury's journey a solid, if unspectacular entry into the Darksiders series.

8 / 10.0 - Metro Exodus
Feb 15, 2019

Boasting solid gameplay and one of the most compelling stories I've played in recent times, Metro Exodus' shift to the striking Russian landscape is not only a worthy successor to the previous entries, but one of the best shooters on the PS4 today.
