Finally the wait is over, as Rise of the Tomb Raider is available for PS4 owners with the release of the 20 Year Celebration. It’s packed with added content that ensures that one of 2015 best games now becomes one of the best games of 2016. It’s time to celebrate all things Tomb Raider!
An interesting visual novel that incorporates some interactive elements to keep you engaged. Great story and some really nice visual design. Unfortunately the game frustrates in some areas and doesn't leave as much of a lasting impressions as it could have, however this is a solid, enjoyable experience nonetheless.
There’s an interesting game somewhere in Loading Human Chapter 1. The concept is intriguing enough, but the execution falls massively short at every possible hurdle. With the game retailing at £35 it’s one of the more expensive PlayStation VR launch titles, but it also feels like one of the least polished.
Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers looks nice, but unfortunately that’s the main thing it gets right. It controls competently and the combat works, but the level design is lacklustre and decides to force you in to replaying levels you’ve already completed that don’t feel different enough to warrant doing it.
Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide is a pleasure to play on console. Hopefully it maintains its community to make sure it stays that way.
Episode three “Children of Arkham” focuses more heavily on the life of Bruce Wayne himself, which potentially makes the choices you make all the more difficult. Following the aftermath of episode 2, episode 3 sure looks to be volatile.
Mafia II made me feel like I'm a part of a mobster story, but somewhere along the way, Mafia III has lost the series identity. Sadly, this is an offer you can refuse.
If you're a fan of the XCOM series, or just love squad based strategy games, then XCOM 2 is easily worth picking up. It's brutally hard at times, sometimes leaning on the side of unfair, but it's an experience that will keep you going back for more. There's plenty to tinker with and it's a lot of fun, but the flaws of the console versions make it hard to recommend them over the PC version.
The animation may be far from the slickest and the game is definitely more fun when against others, but there’s plenty that 100ft Robot Golf does right. The fact it allows you to play it on PlayStation VR or on a normal screen is great and there’s a charm to its goofy style.
Rise of Iron is Destiny’s latest big expansion before the full sequel drops next year and while it doesn’t offer the kind of overhaul that we saw with The Taken King, it should keep even the most dedicated of Guardian’s busy, for now.
The benchmark for VR games shouldn’t be “it would be a great game outside of VR” but RIGS Mechanized Combat League is a great example of one that would be. It’s also a great example of the level of immersion VR can provide this kind of experience and is a delight to play.
The shining beacon of SportsBarVR is the social opportunities it brings. It’s a fun hang out spot for you and your friends in VR. You may decide you don’t like any of the games within it, but you’ll find ways to entertain yourselves. Even if it is just throwing bottles around whilst watching your friends fail to hit a ball in to the pocket for the 11th time.
A nice throwback to old school point and clicks, with an interesting visual design and some truly hard hitting plot points. Stumbles a bit with its dialogue and bizarre ending/episodic decision, however Dead Synchronicity remains a great adventure.
A soulless addition to a phenomenal franchise, which has been seemingly created only for the old guard of the Soulsborne titles. However, even the fanatical fans of the series may find the overwhelming feeling of familiarity to be too strong for its own good.
Some may be put off by the fact that PlayStation VR Worlds is a collection of experiences rather than one focused game but they really shouldn’t be. Out of the five experiences on offer four of them are great to play and all of them work as a showpiece to show off to others. Whether you find yourself going back to the game will depend on how much things click with you but there is replay value there. Overall PlayStation VR Worlds is a fun game, as well as being a really solid launch title for the PlayStation VR headset that’s worth the price of admission.
Gears of War 4 just may be the console seller that you’ve been waiting for. Gear Up!
There are a few animation quirks, but for the most part the 2D style looks great and the games simple control scheme means almost anyone can pick it up. It’s just unfortunate that the momentum Manual Samuel builds in its earlier levels can’t be maintained for the entire course of the game.
To celebrate its 10 year anniversary since the release of the first game, Capcom has released all three last gen Dead Rising games as a bundled collection. However, despite being somewhat a mixed bag of tricks, this collection is a fantastic way to get reacquainted with the series.
Greed is a dangerous thing in strategy games and dungeon crawlers and Darkest Dungeon plays on it well. It's always dangling a carrot in front of you, encouraging you to go further despite the fact that further may mean your demise. If you're a fan of strategy games and classic horror settings then Darkest Dungeon is a no brainer.
Episode Two ‘Children of Arkham’ picks up directly from the episode one’s cliff-hanger and is full of tough choices and intense drama, both as Batman and Bruce Wayne.
