No Recommendation / Blank - F1 22
Jun 28, 2022

And yet for all that there's a nagging sense of overfamiliarity, of running the same races in slightly more bloated cars in what's now a slightly more bloated game. F1 22 is a remarkably broad game too, it should be pointed out - one that can be enjoyed by the growing audience the sport now enjoys. It's a remarkably familiar one too, mind, that through no fault of its own never really feels like the measure of last year's model - a predicament the sport finds itself in now, as it struggles to match the fireworks and fury of the classic that was the 2021 season. In that way, perhaps F1 22 is a little too authentic for its own good.

Apr 30, 2021

Enjoyably traditional, if a little tatty in places, this is a shooting game that still stands apart from all others.

No Recommendation / Blank - Balan Wonderworld
Apr 1, 2021

Surreal, enigmatic and often sloppily executed, Balan Wonderworld is a 90s throwback that might be too period correct for some.

Mar 12, 2021

Fast, slick but with a few too many flaws, Pacer is nevertheless a fine futuristic racer.

No Recommendation / Blank - DiRT 5
Nov 2, 2020

A new studio in charge sees Dirt retain some of its old swagger in a fun, frequently beautiful but occasionally hollow arcade racer.

Oct 21, 2020

There's real magic at the heart of this brilliantly faithful AR take on Mario Kart, but a fair few caveats abound.

No Recommendation / Blank - Super Mario 3D All-Stars
Sep 16, 2020

Two of Nintendo's finest, and one of its most interesting, come together in a compilation that isn't worthy of their greatness.

No Recommendation / Blank - Hotshot Racing
Sep 8, 2020

An enjoyable and detailed racer successfully invokes the spirit of the 90s arcade, even if it doesn't quite have a spark of its own.

Its shortcomings far outweigh its merits, but what merits they are - Disaster Report 4 is silly, humane and utterly charming.

A cult classic gets a fittingly strange remake whose patchiness can't obscure the original's brilliance.
