It’s the best VR game yet, and maybe, just maybe, the best in the Half Life franchise.
God of War Ragnarök is a masterpiece. Even though the game maintains many elements that were established in its predecessor, it refines them to create an unforgettable experience. The quintessential storytelling is a highlight of the medium and its impeccable combat will keep you enthralled throughout. Although Santa Monica Studios set a high bar with their previous outing, Ragnarök soars above it.
Despite some minor flaws, Xenoblades Chronicles X is a JRPG fan's dream come true.
Gears 4 is smoother all around than past games while retaining that heavy weight to characters.
Doom Eternal is a phenomenal game.
Gran Turismo 7 is the best driving game I’ve ever played. Period. It’s not a hardcore simulation of the likes of Assetto Corsa Competizione or iRacing, but for my money, I now prefer Gran Turismo. It’s the ultimate celebration of something that’s part of Kazunori Yamauchi’s very being and an incredible effort to bring his love for automobiles to the world. See you on the starting line.
Street Fighter 6 is an incredible celebration of previous releases and a confident stride into the future. The new Drive System adds a multitude of layers to combat making fights the best they have ever been. Capcom’s new approach to single-player content with the World Tour is weird and wonderful even if it can get a little repetitive. The community-focused approach to online play is a step above its competitors and the amount of content is insane. Not only is Street Fighter 6 a worthy sequel, but it’s also the best fighter to date.
To sum it all up. As good as the flat version of the remake of Resident Evil 4 is, the VR version is the superior way to the play the game.
Overall, Dragon Age: Inquisition is a great game that everyone should have in their collection. It's one of the best bangs for your buck out there in terms of how much time you will clock in on this one and also in quality. Fun, addictive and life consuming, Inquisition is one of the best games I've sat down with in some time. It's the perfect holiday gift for that special gamer in your life or, let's be serious here, for you.
Regardless of price point I guarantee you will get full value for your dollar with this game. I struggled to find any significant faults. Watch Dogs gets about as close to a perfect score that I'm comfortable giving. If you are on the fence about this game, don't be. This is the game that makes spending that hard earned money on a next-generation console worth it.
I love the character roster, the newly added stages, and the fantastic soundtrack, making this installment my new favourite.
Fans of the series will no doubt feel that this is the ultimate tribute to Master Chief and his adventures so far while those who have yet to experience the Halo franchise will enjoy all it has to offer, but in one simple package. The added benefit of the Xbox One hardware also makes it better, with improved visuals in campaign and new Halo 2 Anniversary maps, as well as the control options. Add to this that the amount of extras are long and lasting, and you have a total package that makes for quite a high benchmark for all developers/publishers to meet when considering releasing a collection of a game series.
The developers have managed to impart the rules of the game without a single bit of text other than the controls for interacting with the mazes and how to sprint.
Make no mistake about it, for fans of racing games, Forza Horizon 4 is a must-own.
…Capcom promises that players will have access to all future content for free, including characters, balancing, and gameplay updates.
The Samurai Jack-like graphics seem cutesy, but Night in the Woods earns a master class in tone.
Phantom Pain is hands down one of the best game's I have played in a long time. The open world environment offers you an endless amount of ways to play. Phantom Pain is a game you can sink over 100 hours into and still come back for more. Even if you haven't played past Metal Gear games, Phantom Pain is a great place to start.
Nicalis did us a solid and stuffed a disgusting amount of content in a game already bursting with disgusting content.
It’s a beautiful game that needs to be seen, and every single aspect has been designed with care.
Halo Wars 2 delivers a superb story that ends with a million possibilities on what could happen in future games.
