Driven by an immense storyline, action-packed parkour scenes and gunplay, and beautiful worlds, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is one of the best experiences you can find on PlayStation 4 – a true masterpiece.
The NASCAR Expansion finally brings the thrills of stock car racing to Forza Motorsport 6. With an all-new ten-hour NASCAR World Tour Career Mode, diverse Showcase Events, 24 stock cars with 3 unique modes, and the new Homestead-Miami Speedway with the Formula Drift course, racing fans are spoiled for choice with this one.
I recommend this game to anybody who's looking for a completely new style of playing. Even though it suffers from minor lag and a short story, there is definitely more good than bad here.Excellent: SuperHot is packed full of action without any down moments. The mix of exhilarating gameplay and stunning graphics unite to make one of the most unique games on the market so far in 2016.
We've been waiting a long time for another Mirror's Edge game, and we finally have it with Catalyst. While the storyline is quite predictable with dull characters, the gameplay is where it truly shines. The movement feels fluid, the time trials and social integration allows for replayability.
Whilst it may not be perfect, let's be honest, nothing ever is. Inside does have a few issues here and there with the story, but I don't care, the whole experience is an absolute gaming pleasure. Whilst it may not be a game that appeals to everyone and have a rather niche target market, those who love this genre will indeed, love this game.
Carmageddon: Max Damage sees the player reduce pedestrians to gory slush across several arenas with cars built to cause mass devastation. Despite its issues, the game offers over 30 vehicles, 90 Power Ups, various game modes, several maps, and an Action Replay mode. You could argue that Max Damage would've been perfect back in the 90's or early 2000's when there was nothing else like it.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the best so far in the series. The delay has really paid off for Eidos Montreal and Square Enix – sure, it meant we'd have to wait a couple more months, but it really has made a fantastic impact on how the game plays. Add a very fun and rewarding standalone Breach mode to a fantastic story complemented by great gameplay, and you've got what is an excellent game.
Admittedly it isn’t entirely perfect, I personally would have loved much more in depth career functions, such as not just being the driver, but actually being able to manage the team, and swap your team mates with other drivers from other teams. But, overall though, it’s an all-rounded fun game which any motorsport or F1 fanatic will enjoy.
This is, in my honest opinion, the definitive First Person Shooter, locked and stocked with two smoking barrels. Get ready to fight like hell.
It's a shame really, it really is. I like the PC version of this game, and was excited for it to come to console, it just seems that they haven't quiet managed to pull it off, but fingers crossed it will be fixed in the future. Better late than never.
Hello Games has created an overhyped, overpriced, and overall bad game. They had so many opportunities to make it better and lie less while advertising it, yet they didn’t. No Man’s Sky is ambitious, but rubbish.
Madden 17 brings the best of the NFL world to console with new and refined styles of gameplay which add an element of dynamism that is sure to impact the outcome of each and every down. By stirring this up with stunning graphics and life-like sounds, Madden 17 does not disappoint.
Forza Horizon 3 delivers the ultimate car fantasy and festival experience, introduces innovative new features, and has listened to fans by returning some long missed ones. This is the Horizon game we’ve wanted, and developer Playground Games have delivered. Forza Horizon 3 is undoubtedly the ultimate celebration of cars, music, and freedom of the open road.
There’s no underestimating the amount of effort The Coalition has put into Gears of War 4. The result is one of the best shooters you can get out there on Xbox One and PC. It’s personally my favourite cover-based third-person shooter that I’ve played, and despite some flaws, it’s an incredible package with a great campaign, competitive and social multiplayer modes, and an addictive Horde experience. There’s few shooters that I really enjoy my entire hands-on with, but Gears of War 4 is one of them. It’s an incredible experience all-around, and with the addition of new Gear Packs, collectable cards, and the promise of free post-launch maps, there’s a lot of reasons for fans to keep coming back.
FIFA 17 is a great game to play when you’re feeling bored, and is a definite improvement over FIFA 16. With a competent story mode thanks to the use of the Frostbite engine, great improvements to Career, Pro Clubs and Ultimate Team, FIFA 17 is a welcome addition to the ever-growing football franchise.
Overall, Civilization VI is a masterpiece, providing a depth of play and choices never seen, and doing it in such a graceful manner.
Dishonored 2, however unfortunately, feels like a dumbed-down version of its predecessor, when a lot more could have been done to utilise the new hardware and create a fantastic experience, building on that of its predecessor.
Taking Call of Duty beyond Earth and into space has proven to be a canvas of some of the very best storytelling in the history of the franchise. Infinite Warfare may have received a lot of hate when it was initially revealed, but this is easily one of my favourite entries in the franchise to date.
WRC 6 is a massive step up from its predecessor, and I really enjoyed the game and will continue to play it over the coming months. The game does have its flaws in terms of graphics and the occasional lazy pace notes, but these do not out-weigh the enjoyment you get from playing it.
Amazing new cars, the same great music you know and love, and the addition of snow, ice, and treacherous, wintery weather conditions. This is what Blizzard Mountain is as you race and compete in thrilling events to become its top driver and be eventually named ‘King.’ It's a fantastic add-on for an already great racing game, and when you're up there, you'll never want to leave.
