PowerUp!'s Reviews
Read Only is a beautiful game and a simple and enjoyable point-and-click. The pixel art is on point and the design of the exploarable areas is well composed.
Metroid: Samus Returns is the best 3DS game this year, hands-down. It’s the best Metroid game in almost a decade and it’s definitely the best way to spend your commute of a morning or evening.
NBA 2K18 is fresh in the places it needs to be. Which is a really positive sign for future 2K titles.
Call of Duty WWII is an excellent return to form from a series that has jumped the shark. CoD in space was a ridiculous diversion that pulled focus away from the core of the franchise. Call of Duty WWII puts the attention squarely on the strength of the gameplay and the bravery of men who fought for the freedom of the world.
Paladins is a lot of fun, unique in gameplay, if not in premise, and well worth a look in if you enjoy team based shooters with a lot of variety.
If you're a fan of the first title you won't be disappointed with Ni No Kuni 2. Although it mostly feels like an entirely new game, it is for the better.
If you are a fan of Dragon Ball, get this game, simple as that
Detroit's weighty themes could have been its undoing, but somehow David Cage has written a nuanced, thoughtful script that delivers on its promise. Detroit Become Human is a must play and an absolute work of art.
The impact Frostpunk can have on the player is truly remarkable.
If you’ve been avoiding this game because of the difficulty curve, it’s a great time to jump in.
Dirt Rally 2.0 is a fantastic accomplishment from Codemasters, a studio that continues to prove itself time and time again as a driving force of the racing genre.
Yoshi's Crafted World is so cute and adorable I wish it had chubby cheeks I could squish.
For whatever visual blemishes show up, or for however far the third act strays, Observation remains a deeply fascinating experience.
Monster Hunter: World – Iceborne is everything a Monster Hunter: World veteran could want – more monsters, harder fights and of course more options for weapons and armour.
GRID is an easy choice for racing game fans. It's a superb experience and easily the best racing game this year. For racing fans, it's a must buy.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon, when all of its pieces are taken together, is not only a fantastic new direction for the series, it's also one of its best titles.
Mortal Shell‘s origins may be steeped in an echo but the final product has more than enough soul.
It's enormously addictive and is endlessly replayable. For one of the first major releases in 2021, Hitman is an absolute home run
Biomutant is a statement of intent, a deliberate step away from the excess of old and toward a genuinely exciting reinvigoration of the genre.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a phenomenal, PS5 system seller, and you should invest all your bolts in it.
