FinalBoss's Reviews
Megaton Rainfall is an interesting, exciting and impressive indie game but it's repetitive gameplay and low polygon graphics really hurt it when compared to other virtual reality titles.
Whether it’s the new designs, the legendary Pokémon bikes, the new changes to the combat system, the Team Star and Titan Pokémon elements, or the multiplayer, there is a surprising amount of things to love about the new Pokémon games despite their technical flaws. That’s where the game’s biggest problems are: technical issues and downgrades from the previous Switch entries. The core of the game is still just as fun as ever. The game earns a 6/10 due to being a solid entry in the Pokémon series riddled with technical issues.
Burnout Paradise Remastered brings the audacity and extremeness of previous titles but somehow loses its purpose by reaching too far. An absolute thrill ride when you can think up fun new things to try.
Anthem isn't a terrible game. The core mechanics alone make it something worth at least trying, with the fluid Javelin control movement system and combat options offering up an interesting take on the modern shooter. The problem is that Anthem just isn't a complete package. It's buggy, boring and feels unfinished. It had potential to be another Bioware triumph, and it still could with updates and DLC, but for now, it's a bit like a shiny collectable that looks pretty but really doesn't really do much.
If you still find the play style of Uncharted fun but want some additional story to go along with your climbing, shooting, and shooting whilst climbing then Lost Legacy is definitely worth buying.
Despite high hopes, Need for Speed Payback comes up short. It might be at home in a 1980s arcade, but we expect more from racing games these days and unfortunately, an extra year in deployment wasn’t enough to save this interaction from franchise fatigued.
We really love The Crew 2. It’s both an adrenaline pumping foot to the floor racer and a relaxing cruise through the countryside. It's poor graphical detail and lack of progression from the first outing let it down but it's still a game you can sink hours into.
Released in 2013, Max: The Curse of the Brotherhood has been picking up rave reviews since it landed on the Xbox One all those years ago. So popular was it, in fact, that it was eventually developed for the PC and PS4. Now, this bright little puzzle-platform game has made its way to the Switch. But how does it stack up all these years later?
The original Prinny-hurling, monster-recruiting strategy JRPG comes to Switch and PS4.
Synth Riders is a fun VR game to play solo or with a group and features a varied selection of excellent music to move along to.
The protagonist from P3 is so over being emo and ready to boogie.
While there are other games out there with similar gameplay you could find some a lot less worthy of your time and money. If you’re looking for a crazy team-based co-op game which can be enjoyed by all ages and skill levels then you would be wise to check out this title.
Forza Motorsport 8 showcases the extensive expertise of Turn 10 Studios in the racing game genre. The game stands out with its impeccable weather effects, delivering breathtaking night races. However, it’s not without its shortcomings. The daytime visuals, the variable authenticity of certain car behaviors, and the repetitive tire squeal in some instances highlight areas that could benefit from further refinement. The game’s content offering is generous, boasting a wide selection of vehicles and tracks, with the promise of more to come. Nevertheless, the heart of a racing game lies in its gameplay, and while Forza Motorsport 8 provides moments of exhilaration, it occasionally feels somewhat detached from reality, especially in handling low-powered vehicles. Despite not achieving absolute perfection, it undeniably secures its position among the most visually stunning and content-rich racing games available. Whether you’re a long-time series fan or a newcomer, Forza Motorsport 8 offers a worthwhile experience, and we can hope that some of its imperfections will be addressed in future updates.
All in all, unless you’re feeling particularly nostalgic and want to play one of the original versions to relive your childhood, this is the go-to version of the Oregon Trail and will provide you with hours and hours of replayability, whether it’s by playing the main game over and over to explore each forking path, by playing the Journeys to live through the stories of characters like John and Annie Halfmoon, by trying to reach the highest score on the leaderboard, or by trying to unlock every last filter, song, and piece of artwork the game has to offer. It also gives an important platform for lesser-heard perspectives that weren’t represented in previous iterations of the game. – Joey

A sleek thrill ride that makes you feel like you could become the next Lewis Hamilton, GT Sport definitely takes the racing genre to new places, although it may take itself a little too seriously for some.
As a Harry Potter fan, it’s extremely hard not to love the game. Was the game everything I hoped it would be? Probably not. It’s palpable how much the developers played on the nostalgia of the fandom. That being said, the game offers just enough to feel like you’re a part of the Wizarding World, while giving the opportunity for enjoyment to those who are not familiar with the books and movies. Hogwarts castle, the possibility to cast spells and brew potions, to fly and wander around the Highlands overshadow the minor technical issues and a shallow plot. Warner Bros. is already hinting at a sequel, and I’m sure that the next game will be an even bigger success. From one fan to another: I solemnly swear that Hogwarts Legacy is an enchanting adventure that will transport you to the Wizarding World and leave you spellbound.
