Stevivor's Reviews
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.
This is a solid, Creative Assembly-driven RTS, well-suited for those who love the genre and also for those who are into science fiction; if you're a fan of both, even better. Simple to understand, fun to play and challenging on higher difficulties, it's hard to go wrong with Halo Wars 2.
For Honor is a refreshing new take on combat, and one that everyone should experience.
The jump to current-gen consoles (and increased power and draw distances) tackled last iteration, Rebellion truly shines in this new release.
