Telegraph's Reviews
I suspect that this game will follow a similar path to Ubisoft's equally interesting Rainbow Six Siege, building up a mid-sized, but fervent and dedicated fan-base. And due to For Honor's ferocious combat system and boldness to do things a little differently, its followers will find a war worth fighting.
If you went into Horizon Zero Dawn without knowing a thing about it, you would never guess that this open-world RPG comes from Guerrilla Games - the studio behind weighty first-person-shooter series, Killzone.
You can often measure a game like Sniper Elite 4 by how much fun you are having when everything has gone to hell.
Team Ninja's Nioh is the kind of action game that comes along every once in a rare while.
My word, this is very, very good horror. It is perhaps understandable that Capcom have held back as it ensures that, as Takeuchi ordered, Resident Evil is returned to its core. In that, 7 is a success, providing a rich, atmospheric and reverent chiller that is just silly enough to make sure we are all having fun.
The glimpses of brilliance all stay in the early parts of the game, with the latter portions of the main story being incredibly weak, and shows signs that even after years of development, that Final Fantasy XV still wasn't quite finished.
What a pleasure it is to find a video game with such warmth and fascination with companionship. And what a joy it is for it to be found in a game with such an elegant sense of exploration.
There is a type of artistry in Dishonored 2 that is unique to video games.
It’s clear how much the team behind Sun and Moon care about their players and their experiences, and it really makes a difference.
I’m genuinely surprised with how much I adore Watch Dogs 2’s world. Its satire works because it is always punching up, never down. As such, Watch Dogs 2 feels like it’s making a statement.
Gorgeous adventure ten years in the making sets the bar sky-high
Imaginators captures a magic that I’ve rarely felt since my late childhood, playing the aforementioned N64 platformers on a Winter’s afternoon. This is how you do games for younger people, this is how you do Toys to Life, this is how you do action platformers in general.
Space-faring popcorn shooter is the best Call of Duty package in years
Even after half a decade, Skyrim is an RPG with an unprecedented level of soul.
Titanfall 2 shines when it is, as Alavi says, doing things that other shooters do not. Whether it is in the surprising invention of its campaign, or the busy ebb and flow of its multiplayer modes, this is a shooter that should not be overlooked.
Frantic, funny and fantastic
A high point for the iconic strategy series
The Last Time is a sensitive and thoughtful adventure about the twilight of life
With some lovely audio touches where sound effects are created by human voice, to the drifting, melodic soundtrack, the lovely block colour, simple visuals and a memorable, adorable set of storylines, Burly Men at Sea is a short, sweet adventure that I won't be forgetting in a hurry.
Usually I would not recommend a Battlefield game on the strength of its single-player, but Battlefield 1’s War Stories have toppled this tradition like a well-placed mortar to a windmill.
