Phil Hornshaw's Reviews
"Lost Legacy" improves on "Uncharted 4," and its fresh characters give some new life to the series.
"LawBreakers" is a speedy, chaotic addition to the shooter market, but might struggle to break through.
'Arms' brings back the fun of the Nintendo Wii, but it's most fun if you don't take it too seriously.
Pretending you're a Starfleet officer in Star Trek: Bridge Crew is great, as long as you have a crew to back you up.
'Rime' doesn't always perfectly combine gameplay with the intended emotional journey, but it succeeds more than it fails.
Mass Effect: Andromeda often comes off like a giant checklist of Mass Effect–themed content, but what it's missing is the wonder and excitement that made the last Mass Effect games feel special. The previous games had their issues, but combined their elements to create a vast, interesting world full of deep characters with conflicting desires and experiences that made us feel connected to it.
A team of friends is essential to enjoying 'Ghost Recon: Wildlands,' which struggles at times, but gets open-world absurdity right.
'For Honor's dueling is focused and fun, but the best stuff is overshadowed by many smaller problems.
Resident Evil 7, Capcom is a scary return to form. It brings out the best qualities of the series.
'The Last Guardian' is rooted in the past, with design problems the game's beautiful aesthetic can't disguise.
The good outweighs the bad, with Watch Dogs 2 providing lots of stellar opportunities for players to hack the planet.
'Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare' delivers one of the best campaign stories in the series history
Titanfall 2 is better than its predecessor in every way – it’s extremely entertaining to play, sporting a solid single-player campaign and great multiplayer, and it offers a kind of gameplay that’s not quite like anything available in 2016.
By bringing the series to World War I, DICE has created a tighter, more intense take on the Battlefield formula.
Forza Horizon 3 gets the fun of driving, and everything from the DJs on the radio to the construction of the world is focused on the tone of having a really enjoyable time in a vehicle.
Blizzard's Overwatch is an expertly crafted, awesomely fun, deep, and well-polished team shooter.
Dark Souls III is tough as nails, and the most rewarding Dark Souls game yet.
The Division puts players on a treadmill without a carrot.
Taming bears is a blast, but sometimes playing beast master is still a day job.
