Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is a gorgeous update to a powerhouse title that brings it visually on par with its successor
With some updates and changes over the original 2021 release, New World: Aeternum improves on the formula in almost every way
NHL 25 is a good game when it focuses on hockey, it’s when microtransactions come into play that things become tacky.
With the amount of customizability available in F1 Manager 2024, no two seasons will be alike and that as far from a bad thing as it can be.
SCHiM is an adorable indie platformer with a unique presentation and mechanic that make it a must-play for fans of cosy games and platformers.
Hot Lap Racing is an entertaining arcade-style racing game, but falls flat on keeping one entertained with a minimal amount to do.
During my time with F1 24, I found that there are a fair few things that were improved from last year's title, but with some game modes missing entirely, what else is there to do?
With just enough added to keep things fresh, MLB The Show 24 is a fine entry to the yearly sports franchise.
With a massive scope of puzzles to solve, Islands of Insight has something for every puzzle enthusiast out there.
Interesting combat mechanics and a decent story headline Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior, and finding new ways to tackle each encounter keeps me coming back.
The initial release of LEGO Bricktales was a novel idea that successfully translated the childhood favourite of many to a digital platform while stumbling due to its reliance on conventional controls. LEGO Bricktales‘ Quests’ debut fixes this and delivers a truly mesmerizing experience that not only has that cool factor from playing it in augmented reality but is, by and large, the definitive version of an already fun-to-play game.
Despite some moments where the campaign seemed confusing, Modern Warfare III is a decent enough reboot/sequel, allowing for some fun gameplay in the multiplayer and Zombies modes.
The Talos Principle II gives you a philosophical deep dive into yourself while offering some challenging puzzles as well. A great entry in the series.
As far as world-building games go, Cities: Skylines II is second to none. The sheer volume of capability is staggering and the possibilities are endless for what you can create.
EA Sports NHL 24 scratches the itch for a solid hockey title. There are significant improvements over last year’s title, but replayability, as always is up in the air for sports titles.
A yearly sports title is hardly one to looks to when one thinks of gameplay updates and changes, but EA Sports FC 24 is proving to be the exception to the rule.
Overall, Ad Infinitum doesn’t do its best job showcasing what the experience is all about in the first hour. But, after that, it really takes off and soars. Especially the creature design, and while I am not a massive fan of the hide-and-seek horror, it plays it well here, and you truly get lost in the trenches. The sound design and voice acting aren’t the best, but it is passable enough. My biggest issue is that I had quite a bit of technical difficulties. Even when I turned the graphics setting to low, I was still experiencing framerate drops and quite a bit of screen tearing. I even managed to clip through some ladders a few times.
F1 23 is a fantastic entry to the perennial Formula 1 experience. Driving is polished on both wheel and controller, and the visual experience is second to none.
Repetitive gameplay and no sense of progression hamper an otherwise fine entry to the series. Super Mega Baseball 4 could be better if there was more to do than the same thing over and over again.
With amazing visuals and a steeper-than-expected learning curve, EA Sports PGA Tour is a welcome return to the market.
