Stevivor's Reviews
Despite changes to the formula, New Dawn is still very much Far Cry at its core.
The traditions of survival horror have been modernised, resulting in something that's all-too-familiar yet always manages to keep you on your toes.
Due to its niche nature, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown won’t be for everyone. You’d really need to love this style of game to get the full benefit of it. That being said, it’s a well crafted addition to the genre and may very well make some some new fans of aviation titles that were otherwise not interested
Touchdown's beam katana is back and will need to be recharged during combat.
The tweaks mostly relate to Toadette/Peachette and Nabbit as playable characters, but nothing really stands out.
When was the last time you had three (or seven) mates over to sit on your couch and play a game all night?
If you enjoyed the last game in the series then Just Cause 4 will give you a lot of fun creating explosions across the world, it just doesn’t push the series in any meaningful direction.
BBL fans looking for a quick fix will stick with the free mobile game. While there should have been a place for Big Bash Boom between the two, it’s priced itself out of contention
Civilization VI on Switch is my favourite way to play.
At the end of the day, Darksiders 3 is four years too late and four years behind current game design.
That said, I mightn’t know the songs I’m dancing to, but Ubisoft’s done a wonderful job in picking upbeat, fun songs to dance to regardless. Like last year’s offering, Just Dance 2019 is an inoffensive, exercise conducive title fun alone or in pairs. If you want to boogie, consider it.
11-11 is a unique (and relatively inexpensive) title that’s worth picking up.
Battlefield 5 is a fantastic multiplayer experience, especially across the fan favourite Conquest and large-scale Grand Operations.
So far, Fallout 76 seems like a half-baked, early access entry, equal parts buggy as ugly
Those who’ve played Nintendo’s original Pokémon game(s) will find Let’s Go very familiar, from maps, to the original 151 Kanto Pokémon and even story beats.
There's not a lot to do in Spyro the Dragon
Otherwise, let’s put this one to bed: those who reveled in IO’s last Hitman title will delight in a return to Hitman 2 and those who gave the soft reboot a miss will find a pleasant surprise in this title. It’s hard to go wrong with Hitman 2.
I like that Ubisoft is continuing to support For Honor and all that’s included from a content perspective. Both Breach and Arcade improve the overall package, the new fighters will be appreciated by the dedicated community and it’s great to see a visual improvement 18 months post-launch.
Combat against all the bosses is both challenging and rewarding. There's great variation between all enemies in their look, how they fight and how you need to behave with each
Blackout is just right, and the best battle royale game on the market./
