it does have more to offer, but because Codemasters have been getting the simulation style of racing right for a couple of years now, there isn’t a vast amount they needed to improve on, other than cosmetically, but what has been improved is just about noticable.
Treyarch have jumped fully on board the Battle Royale bandwagon, but not content with that, have jumped into the drivers seat and changed up a gear to give the best and most fun version of the genre. If fast and varied action and plenty of firepower is what you want, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is going to be right up your street.
Coming in at just under 20 quid this gives pretty good value for money for something that might not have massive content but it still full of intricacy. Right, I’m off to sort out a shark tank!
Its obvious within a short time of playing Floor Kids that a lot of love has been put into the production of this game, with characters that show different personalities through their dance moves in a stylish comic book world.
Mutant Football League: Dynasty Edition is a well above average arcade sports sim, jam packed with gory but cartoony violence, making it a worthy successor to the original game.
GRIP is a great speed racer with a big nod to favourites of years past, breathing new life into the genre, and its well worth adding it to your game collection.
Stellaris has plenty of depth without being too complicated for newcomers to play, will give you a different gaming experience every time you play a new game, and the storyline, although sedate at times, still packs in plenty of excitement and great storytelling.
Overall, the game plays well on the nostalgia of fans of both Bridge Constructor and Portal titles, will exercise your brain with its puzzles without frustrating you too much. With a generous amount of levels its well worth a look and you may find it a lot more fun than it maybe looks at first glance.
At first glance, a game that might be fun for an hour or so, you’ll be surprised by the hidden depths of Party Golf. With more customisations that you can shake a stick at, you’d find it very difficult to get bored with this game, and played with friends its certainly one of the best party games available on the Xbox One.
Glass Masquerade delivers more than you think at first glance, and I found it a puzzler that was both challenging and therapeutic.
Thanks to its rogue like nature, For the King has some replay factor in it, as long as you can psychologically get past the slight grind of having to play the same parts over and over to get deep enough into the game for the variety of scenarios and landscapes to really come into play.
Overall, Override: Mech City Brawl gives you a good amount of content to have fun with, providing a lot of variety in the gameplay, so you can switch in and out with different bots to prevent it becoming a grind.
If you like this retro style for games, My Big Sister will reward you with a very strong story, with a nice creepy atmosphere and dark sense of humour.
Overall, WRC 8 has made great strides forward, but in many areas there seems to be a lot of work to do.
uper Blood Hockey is a fun simple game that works well as a single player game for a while at least, until eventually its repetitive nature kicks in, that’s is as long as you master the steep learning curve.
On the whole I enjoyed my Swedish adventure with Generation Zero, as this kind of shooter that involves stealth and strategy over gung-ho firepower is more my kind of thing.
Overall I think Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 2 is something that has been made for the enthusiasts and players who are already fans of the sport. Despite the smooth slick presentation, I’m not sure many new converts will be won over to the sport, as its not really a game you can just pick up and play.
For those that have played ToeJam & Earl in their distant past and became fans, you will love Back in the Groove, as it captures the feel and look of the original and gives you a game you’ll be very familiar with.
Road Redemption deserves praise for staying faithful to the core game play of Road Rash, but doesn’t have enough polish or weight (quite literally when handling the bikes) to make it a worthy successor to the old classic.
Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics presents itself as competent with solid gameplay, but is very much lacking in character or depth to keep you playing beyond one playthrough. The framework is there but its crying out for more in the way of variety that could be fixed with some decent DLC content.
