Stevivor's Reviews
Thumbleweek Park is a stellar mix of mystery and humour
Essentially, Reloaded is the pair of games, bundled on PS4. The port's pretty solid — when you're playing, things are crisp, clear and look great in 1080p. Cutscenes don't fare as well, sometimes looking stretched and blurry. Still, those instances are hardly noticeable, as you're engrossed in Danganronpa's story by then.
Playtonic's special brand of humour is weaved throughout, seemingly innocent but with a sly wink towards those old enough to appreciate subtleties.
While all of these new additions are great, these expansion sets end up segregating the community between the haves and the have-nots.
Persona 5 is a beautiful balancing act; one that feels eternally stressful unless you give in and enjoy it rather than aiming for the perfect run.
Old Time Hockey is great fun — a reason to invite a friend over
Levels take around two to three minutes to clear, so Bye-Bye is well-suited for portable play.
Andromeda is superb, easily jettisoning Ryder and crew ahead of Commander Shepard and his team.
All up, FlatOut 4: Total Insanity is quite an improvement over the last game in the franchise.
Styx: Shards of Darkness is an evolution of the franchise, and an improvement over a game stealth enthusiasts will greatly enjoy.
Snipperclips requires thought, co-ordination and timing in a combination that means friendships will be tested.
Is Matchmaker life-changing? No. Is it action-packed and as gripping as Breath of the Wild? Certainly not. It is, however, a fun little time-waster, full of memory puzzles, personality assessment and inclusiveness.
Overall, these three new Operations feel very consistent with the standard set by the core Watch Dogs 2 experience. The chance to return to San Francisco and geek it up with the DedSec team is welcome, and their characterisation remains as energetic and positive as ever.
With options to enable or exclude CPU racers, local multiplayer is the best of everything in Fast RMX, and at a very reasonable price. Even if you're pencilled in Mario Kart's encore as your multiplayer racing game on Switch, there's plenty of time to get in some quality time with the budget Fast RMX.
When things come together, there is enjoyment to be had in Ghost Recon: Wildlands. ... You shouldn't buy Wildlands right now.
The problem with Super Bomberman R, as a fun but limited local multiplayer game you've played many times before, is its hefty price tag.
1-2-Switch is more of a tech demo.
Simply put, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the best launch title I've ever played. It's captivated me more than any game with a system launch, and it's rocketed straight into number one on my all-time favourite Zelda games. You could play it on Wii U, where it's still a fantastic game — clearly the best on the console. But it's that little bit more special to have such an amazing, massive game on a handheld system. Wherever you play, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was worth the wait.
Even then, there are some concessions made in the name of more effective gameplay that aren't exactly native to the series.
For all the hype that's been extended to Horizon: Zero Dawn, it hasn't managed to fully deliver.
