Turbo Golf Racing is fun, and if you’re familiar with Rocket League, you’ll feel right at home. But after a while, it gets repetitive; the game only holds my attention for a few games, and I don’t think playing with my friends will change that.
EA Sports WRC is another good racing game from Codemasters. Besides some minor hiccups from the technical side of that game, it’s an excellent game for fans of the DiRT series to jump into.
Although the new features of Football Manager 24 are small, they add value to the overall experience of being a coach in the world of football.
EAFC 24 ushers in a new era of football for EA Sports. Unfortunately, the game still suffers from the same issues as its predecessor, but hopefully, these baby steps lead to great leaps for the series.
F1 23 brings enough to the table this year for fans to get excited about. Braking Point and the newly introduced F1 World are worth highlighting for any F1 racing fan.
EA Sports PGA Tour returns with a strong emphasis on career mode and features other fun ways to enjoy golf. While the game has some setbacks, it’s still a great return to The Masters.
While FIFA 23‘s presentation and gameplay have improved, the lack of care and significant updates to fan-favorite modes continue to slow this series down.
Cursed to Golf’s difficulty and gameplay loop had me hooked from the first tee. The rogue-lite elements mixed with the addicting golf gameplay will have you teeing off deep into Golf Purgatory.
Redout 2 is one of the fastest racing games I’ve played. The game is stunning, with diverse tracks and unique hover ship models. Controlling hover crafts are smooth but take time to master. This game will break you down and test your willingness to come back. The rubber banding from AI competition will make the game frustrating but overcoming those obstacles and winning races is so satisfying.
Besides the absences of baseball and boxing, the six sports on show here are smooth, responsive, and fun. While Nintendo Switch Sports could do more for the players that play solo, the game is at its best when you play locally with friends.
Big Bang Pro Wrestling is a simple retro 16-bit game that will frustrate modern players. However, a very tiny screen and a grappling system that can leave you wondering how to possibly win matches are only minor complaints. And with a price tag of 7.99 USD, there is hardly any risk of buying this piece of video game history.
Motocross games have come a long way since I played MX vs. ATV: Unleashed in 2005, and Monster Energy Supercross 5 proves it. Sure, the presentation is disappointing, but the developer’s attention to gameplay and controls overshadows any fault. While the developers could do more to help ease new players in, the game is still a must-play for Supercross enthusiasts.
Football Manager 2022 is a strategy game that continues to improve with more in-depth features that helps you succeed on the virtual pitch. The new Data Hub brings a more profound analysis system to the game that helps you pick the best line-ups on match day. The endless hours of tinkering with my club’s tactics, transfers, squad, and staff have yielded meaningful results in my club’s progression. And I still have many hours of fun ahead of me with one of the best sports simulators.
While changing game engines is likely to prove useful down the line, the initial launch of eFootball as a F2P platform comes off as a mediocre, watered-down football experience far below the expectation of Konami.
