Nexus Hub's Reviews
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake delivers excellent overhauled visuals and refined gameplay touches - most of all, it's simply a better version of Hazelight's emotionally powerful family adventure.
Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is easy to recommend as a compelling action-RPG with well-written protagonists and rewarding systems, though the second half of the game loses the plot - both literally and figuratively.
Skull and Bones has fun naval combat and great ship customisation but it's buried by tedious quests, grinding and a shallow endgame that feels unfinished in its current state.
Helldivers 2 might just be the best damn space shooter ever made - an exceptionally fun co-op experience packed with intense action, humour and style.
Minor technical issues and frustrations aside, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is genuinely one of the most faithful and well-executed remasters I’ve seen in a very long time – an exceptionally potent nostalgia trip and a fresh experience all at once.
Persona 3 Reload is a worthy remake that adds modern touches to the combat, UI, characters and storytelling, further enhancing an already unforgettable RPG experience.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is positively bursting at the seams with memorable moments, side content, well-written characters and an engaging storyline of epic proportions.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's outstanding visuals and fun freeflowing gameplay can't save it from feeling like a forced live service game constantly at odds with itself creatively.
Tekken 8 stacks content in an excellent feature-complete package, boasting the great Heat system, refined yet accessible gameplay and one of the best story modes ever put to a fighting game.
The Last of Us Part II Remastered's technical improvements are minor (many will question if it's even necessary), but the side content like No Return is great and worth the upgrade.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is exceptionally good and marks Ubisoft's best game in years - a shot of old-school 2D platforming action that jolts the franchise back to life.
Persona 5 Tactica's stylish, addictive gameplay and delightful chibi characters almost make up for the fact that the Persona 5 brand is starting to wear itself thin.
EA Sports WRC is a very approachable rally experience with a wide variety of modes, but for seasoned fans, it might be a bit too vanilla and lacking in thrills.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 brings some welcomed improvements to the gameplay and modes but a short, lacklustre campaign and uninspired Zombies mode hold it back.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is a considerably shorter experience than Yakuza fans expect, but the energy and charm of the series is still here for a captivating detour until Infinite Wealth.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is pure, unadulterated fun and one of the best games on Nintendo Switch - a true wonder of game design that lives up to its name.
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 isn't as solid as most modern remasters but the sheer amount of legendary content alone might be worth the price of admission.
Alan Wake 2 is an innovative, bolder, and scarier sequel that pushes the survival horror genre forward. Remedy have turned its strangeness dial to 11 and it's magnificent.
Lords of the Fallen looks and plays great but frustrating difficulty spikes and an undercooked narrative hold it back from reaching the heights of its Soulslike counterparts.
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged crosses the finish line with ease and style, providing an immensely enjoyable and high-quality experience that settles for nothing less than constantly firing on all cylinders.
