Troll and I suffers from having champagne ambitions on a beer budget and is marred by a plethora of issues. Seriously subpar technical, design, narrative and gameplay elements make it a borderline insufferable experience, and as a result the game cannot be recommended to anyone at all, let alone at its AAA price
Great combat and decent story ideas are largely squandered by a game that buckles under the weight of its technical flaws
The Ringed City feels like Hidetaka Miyazaki's send off to the Souls series. It's been a hell of a ride
Ghost Recon Wildlands utilises the tried and tested Ubisoft open-world formula, however the lacklustre story, bland characters and repetitive mission design means it never hits the heights it could have reached
We hardly knew ye, BoxBoy. No, seriously, you should have called or something
A budget action-RPG that is aggressively mediocre in almost every way
Australian-made Death Squared is a challenging yet gratifying puzzler that will satisfy even the most fervent puzzle fans
NieR: Automata is a triumph of creativity, superlative combat, interesting characters and is just an all-round great game. Its short-but-sweet story is given substantial depth by a game structure that encourages and incentivises multiple playthroughs
A technically magnificent action-RPG that blends a deep story with thrilling and diverse combat to deliver a killer exclusive for PS4
Halo Wars 2 brilliantly captures what was great about the original, while also adding more depth and variety to the playing field. This is definitely a game for both newcomers and veterans alike.
Although the campaign falls well shy of the mark, the innovative Art of Battle system makes for a great multiplayer brawler
Resident Evil 7 harkens back to the RE games of yore by dialling back the action in preference for thoughtful and unnerving survival horror
Nothing is more humiliating to a Yakuza member than pummelling them with a teapot
Extreme outdoor sports for those who wish to remain indoors
Orwell paints a picture of a surveillance state that is morally reprehensible yet sadly recognisable and relateable
The Crew’s newest expansion whilst fun on occasions fails to deliver on its police-themed concept
Minor gripes, sour grapes and a great deal of holiday zombie japes
Lacklustre side missions and difficulty balance issues can't fully tarnish this beautiful adventure in a grand setting. Final Fantasy XV is a game that fought hard to exist, and does the series proud
The game leans heavily on its visuals and sound but can't sell its simplistic gameplay
Handball 17 lacks depth, staying power and overall quality to be a real player on the sports video game roster
