Full of content for all different types of gamer, whether that’s the one-vs-computer classic Street Fighter type or the player who loves to live online, making new pals. But underneath it all is an excellent fighting game that is as addictive as it ever was and a joy to play.
Final Fantasy XVI isn’t perfect. Its smaller battles can get a bit monotonous. The world arguably isn’t open enough for today’s standards. And the game takes far too long to reveal itself. But when you do hit those mega battles after hours of plugging away, the win tastes that much sweeter. And the combat, visuals and audio all work so well together in delivering a frantic action role-player that’ll give you tons of fun.
Its urge for exploration is everywhere and really helps to distinguish this away from other Switch titles. While at the same time the cuteness of the characters feels very Nintendo. A top effort.
Overall, a top-tier football game that is packed to the rafters with content and gameplay.
It’s beautiful, brilliant to play and packed full of cars worth tinkering with. All in one easy-to-access package. This title tops the podium.
What a game. Web-crawlingly brilliant at every turn. Top marks Spidey, top marks.
Well worth revisiting if you’ve played before and a must-buy at £45 for those new to Part II.
Overall, this a deep and wonderful game packed full of exploration, juicy combat and a strong story - if you can follow all the lore it pumps out.
But overall, this is a fantastic new IP for Ubisoft and they should be commended for allowing this development team to pursue an idea that sprung out of the Assassin’s Creed development.
Overall, the best racing game on the PS5.
All in, a cracking Switch title. One that doesn’t feel particularly fresh in any area but is done with enough Nintendo charm and style that it’s still a pleasure to play.
Ideal for kids, its a great game to bond over between parents and children with a bit of old-fashioned gamepad swapping.
Horizon: Call of the Mountain is the single best VR game I’ve played and shows exactly what the PSVR2 is capable of.
Overall, another fantastic Mario game and a real fun standout for the Switch console.
An epic game with tons of content.
Rise of the Ronin is another cracking PS5 exclusive.
The Witness might be one of the best games ever made, but there's no denying it's also infuriating in equal measure.
At worst it almost feels like the game is half batting against you so that when you’re downed you have to start building thing up all over again. That said, all in, a fun Lego-like exploration title with a hint of Minecraft and maybe World Of Tanks mixed in there too. There's something for everyone of all ages.
So will they break out of the 'cricket lovers only' mold? I doubt it.
This game is a very decent alternative racing title for the Forza fans to try.
