Chris White's Reviews
If you're looking for a game you can pick up and play, as well as making you smile, this is certainly one to consider.
The series has managed to reinvent itself, all whilst still keeping the heart of the series intact. Bayek is a great character, and the open world of Egypt is remarkable.
Whilst there are some changes, it doesn't feel that different from last year, and the technical issues hinder enjoyment somewhat.
A great sequel with much more going on, and is built with a lot of love and respect for the series it comes from.
Everything about this game outdoes the first, and with the expanded Nemesis System, superb combat, and epic story, you'll be immersed for a long time.
Whilst it may not be the complete package, it does a lot right and has a new and sturdy foundation to build the future of the series on.
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.
