Resident Evil Zero might have frustrating controls, clunky navigation, and the most punishing inventory system you can find. However, it's HD remaster makes the game look good and the updated controls, while still finicky, still provide an enjoyable gameplay experience.
Although Story Mode doesn't deviate from Telltale's usual formula, it still manages to make me excited for the second episode in this new episodic adventure, with great dialogue and storytelling. I was skeptical of Telltale's ability to pull off an episodic series in the Minecraft universe, but as far as I can tell from this first episode, they've done a pretty damn good job of it.
Despite some annoyances with the gameplay mechanics and overused mission objectives, The Division truly is an exciting and immersive role-playing experience.
Hitman's Intro Pack is a confident start to what I hope to be a fantastic season. With a fantastic Paris level showcasing how Hitman should be done, the game really takes you back to the roots of the franchise. I'm looking forward to playing the rest of the season, and seeing what else developer IO Interactive has to offer.
Overlooking a number of flaws, FIFA 16 does an incredible job representing soccer. However, once again, FIFA still doesn't innovate enough, with familiarity in gameplay and irritating issues recurring again from previous games.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 proves why Activision's three-year development cycle for Call of Duty is necessary. Black Ops 3 packs a huge amount of new content and feature innovations, along with keeping the core features that everyone knows and respects.
Destiny: The Taken King makes the Destiny universe worth exploring and finally makes it a fun experience. The endless grinding and vague, confusing storylines are gone. Now we have a clear, understandable and enjoyable storyline with a streamlined levelling-up system.
Sniper Elite 4 truly is a fun, beautiful and thought-provoking game that includes an excellent campaign mode which featured plenty of gore and action.
I've really enjoyed my time with Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and will most likely continue to – Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross' chemistry is fantastic, allowing for a brilliantly crafted story, excellent combat and an enthralling experience.
If somebody came up to me on the street and told me about this plot to a game, I'd be a bit skeptical, as I'm sure many of you were when you first heard about For Honor. Up until the point of actually playing the game, nothing seemed too special about the new release from Ubisoft. For Honor seemed to strike a perfect balance of story, gameplay, longevity, and sheer fun to create a solid game that I'm sure people will be playing for a while. Fantastic: For Honor is the fighting game for people who don't like fighting games.
DICE have done it again. As one of the leading developers in the first-person shooter genre, they have deployed you to the frontlines of another war that's truly epic in its scale and detail, this time with World War 1. The setting will provide something old and familiar for those feeling alienated by modern or futuristic shooters, yet it also simultaneously delivers something that doesn't feel stale.
Overall, Absolute Drift is a great game. Offering a wealth of content to enjoy at a low price of $12 without any grinding or in-app purchases, Absolute Drift is a game you can play and have great fun. Sure, it doesn’t have the simulation physics you would expect in a AAA, but the point here is that it doesn’t need them. The physics can be adjusted to by everyone but will take time master and that’s what’s so great about this game.
I had a great time playing ONRUSH and was the first arcade game that I had played in a very long time. It was a great refresher to come back to after years of playing Forza and Sim racers.
Overall, the Hoonigan Car Pack is an extremely solid pack, scoring itself a 9/10. Many of the cars you see here will be used in online play, and are generally useful to the career mode in Forza Horizon 3.
Fast cars, insane G-Forces, and you behind the wheel. F1 2017 invites you to live the life of a Formula One driver, in the best iteration of the Codemasters F1 game series - with you right at the center of it all.
Destiny 2 is a huge step up from the original game.
I enjoyed every second of DiRT 4, and being the motorsport fan which I am, I truly appreciated seeing all those famous liveries and designs and being able to drive some of the most iconic vehicles of all time.
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.
Halo Wars 2 is an absolute blast. Whether you're engrossed into its fantastic storyline in the battle against Atriox, playing it like a classic RTS in the Deathmatch, Domination, or Stronghold game-types, or building your deck with the new and innovative Blitz mode, there's something for everyone. Halo Wars 2 is for both newbies to RTS and Halo games, as well as seasonal veterans. As for those who love both Halo and RTS, well they have an absolute treat awaiting them, as do new players alike.
