Nexus Hub's Reviews
Battlefield V's beautiful scenery and immersive gameplay is a reminder of DICE’s pedigree and proves that the company has evolved a winning formula.
Farming Simulator 19 is a complex and intricate farming experience but it is incredibly fun once you have grasped all the mechanics. The relaxing nature of the game sets you up for a great couch gaming experience, and the amount of work to be done on your land, as well as others, will give you endless hours of gameplay.
Hitman 2 is a worthy successor to the first reboot. While it could’ve been a meaty expansion, given the focus on refining mechanics rather than introducing new ones, it's a perfect sequel to a near-perfect game, and why would you mess with perfection?
Fallout 76 boasts an impressive open world in West Virginia, but it's a lonely journey on the country roads. It's greatest aspects are buried under a myriad of nagging technical issues.
My Hero One’s Justice is not perfect. It’s got some flaws it really shouldn’t have. Its story mode is weak, there aren’t as many characters available as I’d have liked, and some ultimates look really lame, but you know what? It’s fun.
Starlink: Battle for Atlas provides a fun space adventure bolstered by awesome toys-to-life, though it notably suffers in some departments.
Arizona Sunshine is a great VR game and really does well to create an immersive atmosphere, though occasionally stumbles in its execution.
Call of Cthulhu is a harrowing descent into madness that excels thanks to a captivating story and eerie atmosphere.
Tetris Effect is Tetsuya Mizuguchi's masterpiece; a striking blend of Tetris, psychedelic visuals and a terrific soundtrack that elevates this unassuming title into classic territory already.
LEGO DC Super Villains is something you would play to teach your kids the greatness of the DC comics lineup, only without the superheroes taking the forefront.
Red Dead Redemption 2 offers up an epic narrative in an intricately-detailed open world but questionable designs choices make large parts of the game feel like a chore.
I really enjoyed my experience with Dark Eclipse and if you’re sitting on a PSVR and are looking to put it to some use, then why not? It’s a small download, it’s fun and it’s free with some really interesting potential to grow.
Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is charming, intuitive, and above all, an absolute delight to play.
NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is a great improvement over the first game, and the addition of the ‘Season Mode’ adds that extra layer of fun. Mechanically, the game remains a classic arcade experience, with a sprinkling of difficulty, just enough to make things interesting.
SoulCalibur VI is a fantastic addition to the series and has quickly become my favourite fighting game of this generation. It looks amazing, sounds incredible and runs great.
2K’s latest wrestling game brings back some of the missing fun to the series and thrusts the series back to what fans expect. A definite suggested pick up for all WWE fans.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has made a sacrifice that will definitely cause some to turn away from the title. However, removing the campaign came with its own line of benefits. Multiplayer has an addictive twist for those who like their traditional Call of Duty experience, Zombies is as engaging and fun as ever, and Blackout is arguably one of the best Battle Royale experiences available.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 is a solid entry in the series. It sticks to its tried and tested formula, for better and sometimes worse, and provides an excellent entry point if you've not played them before. The small improvements outweigh the issues that have been present since the beginning.
Amnesia: The Collection offers up a good 15+ hours of tense exploration, puzzling, and scares that survival-horror fans should enjoy. With a strong focus on the narrative and mostly linear progression, you're unlikely to play through them more than once, but it's still great value for money.
I certainly will keep on playing. A game like this that has over 95 different species that need to be curated, hundreds of objects to research and decorations to be… decorated? There is still so much to be done! I'm ready to dive right back in.
