Even at 60FPS, Project Motor Racing boasts some stunning visuals and a keen attention to detail you don’t see in every sim racing title. Cars visibly kick up debris and rubber from the track, which is a lovely touch, particularly in the cockpit view. On that note, birds take to the skies as you drive by, and it was especially noticeable racing around the infamous Green Hell. That attention to detail extends to the car models as well, and many of the vehicles sport a selection of liveries. I thought the visuals during my afternoon race at Monza looked a little washed out, but I discovered far more dramatic lighting when I set races for different times of day. Driving at sunset is breathtaking, and Straight4 Studios has crammed Project Motor Racing with plenty of stylish flourishes, like exhaust flames.
The Plucky Squire is a gorgeous, entertaining adventure that will keep you hooked until the final page. While lacking in challenge, the creative set-pieces, beautiful visuals, and mini-games do the heavy lifting.
Despite a few glaring faults, EvilVEvil still provides a fun, addictive gameplay loop that can be enjoyed alone or with friends. Don't expect AAA polish and you'll have a great time with this vampiric shooter.
South Park Snow Day is an entertaining, if simple, title that entirely focuses on multiplayer. Fans of the show will lap up the humor, but those planning to go in alone will be disappointed.
Tekken 8 is a stellar entry to the series with something for everyone. Whether you're a grizzled veteran or just want to play as the guy who looks like Bruce Lee, there's never been a better time to enjoy the King of Iron Fist tournament.
RoboCop: Rogue City has its fair share of faults, but the good far outweighs the bad. The visceral combat made gunfights so enjoyable, I looked forward to them even after 10+ hours. It's not a perfect game, but it's entertaining from start to finish, and if you're a fan of the franchise, it's a must-play.
Street Fighter 6 is the complete package and offers heaps of content, whether you're competitive or casual. World Tour is a surprisingly strong addition to the single-player experience, and the series has never been more approachable. If you ever wanted to 'get good' at a fighting game but never felt you had the tools, now is the time.
