Chris White's Reviews
It's difficult to get excited about Telltale Games at the moment, but this has me hooked and I can't wait for the next episode.
The LEGO Ninjago Movie Videogame is a lot of fun, but the camera angles are diabolical in co-op, detracting from the fun that playing with someone normally brings. The story is weak, but the humour more than makes up for it, and the diverse combat feels great to control, especially when racking up a 100-hit combo.
If you love a challenge, and appreciate fantastic level design, this is most definitely for you.
If you're looking for not only the greatest basketball game but the greatest sports game in existence, this is definitely it. A huge improvement on last year, let down only by its weak attempt at a story mode.
It's still a great hockey game, and NHL Threes is a great addition, but beyond that it's very much the same game as last year's.
It's incredibly ambitious, but without spending hours upon hours building a safe haven to protect you from the brutality of PvP, the single player feels a bit redundant without anyone to play with.
PES 2018 is the silkiest and smoothest looking football game I've ever played, with textures and player animation integrated perfectly. The pitches are gorgeous – as are the stadiums, and the rate at which the game moves, and blends player reactions after a shot or goal celebration is seamless.
It may be different to the other games in the MH series, but Stories is a lot of fun, and the JRPG mechanics are enjoyable, providing lots of different scenarios in its combat.
If you're looking for a great platformer to play on your own or with friends, this is the one for you. It's fun and it looks gorgeous, filled with combat that provides lots of options to defeat the goblins and the robots.
There's a fantastic story here, filled with some great concepts and plenty of poignancy, ready to make you question the importance of life.
The horror in this cyberpunk nightmare provides plenty of shocks, and the story is engaging, especially with Rutger Hauer at the helm.
Ys VIII is a fantastic new action RPG from Falcom that is great for getting into the excellent Ys franchise and one that has a ton of quality content and sublime combat.
You'll enjoy exploring, and the bosses are tough nuts to crack, but frustrating controls and its dificulty may prove a little too much for some.
EA Tiburon has improved on last year, and Longshot is one of the finest additions to the series in a long time.
It's good to see the cult classic on PlayStation 4, but there are certain flaws you can't excuse, and tropes which become overused after a while.
Giant Consequences is a shorter episode, but a better one than the first with good pacing to the story and an interesting and amusing new baddie.
The start was always the best, and this extreme edition is a reminder of how fantastic this series has always been.
If you've missed the series, this is the perfect conclusion in every way, and I hope this is the start of a brand new saga in Uncharted's own legacy.
There's no question Housemarque once again gets its own brand of chaos spot on, and you're going to love what they've got in store for you this time.
If you loved the original, this is just as good, with a great new art style and some nice changes to combat.
