The only thing steeper than the mountains is the full price they’re asking for a uninspired, boring and buggy game.
It may come with some of the best driving physics to ever grace a console, but they come at the cost of everything else that makes console racers any good.
Assetto Corsa may try to parade around on console as a video game, but it's not fooling anyone. It's a simulator made for those that want the most realistic driving experience possible. Even then, it's fairly rough around the edges and is only in any way recommended to diehard racing fans who are willing to drop money on a decent wheel and pedal setup.
There’s a lot to like and the nemesis system is really great but I wish that the game built around it was more interesting and engaging.
Immersive and intriguing – By slowing the game right down and also keeping the scarier elements to a very manageable level, Prey encourages you to take your time and enjoy all the details, while also giving you the freedom to approach your problems in a variety of different ways.
Codemasters have nailed 2016 with an engaging career mode, slick gameplay and a solid overall package. If you’re looking to jump back in for some F1 fun, this year doesn’t disappoint.
Good wholesome fun that fans of LEGO, Star Wars or co-op can happily enjoy.
An enjoyable albeit unpolished open-world sci-fi RPG shooter that suffers from quantity over quality.
If anything, one could describe DriveClub as inconsistent. Issues with required connectivity, sub-par A.I, a fairly shallow career mode and a lack of depth where the cars are concerned hold DriveClub back from being the sort of big-hit exclusive title that the PlayStation 4 will be remembered for in future. However, some great ideas and great handling cars keep the racing and challenges surrounding your friends interesting and fun… as long as you stay connected to the servers.
F1 2018 is a continuation of the great formula seen last year, and ultimately delivers an excellent F1 and racing experience for fans.
It’s a fun racing game for all to enjoy, but it’s far from being my favourite Forza and I hope that Turn 10 re-evaluate the direction they’ve taken for the next iteration.
Almost everything that a fan of the NBA could ever want from a basketball game
While it’s far from perfect or revolutionary, Dead Rising 4 does dish up some good times and gory action.
While it delivers a lot of the goods that’ll keep Gears fans happy, it wastes potential by sticking too closely to the old formula
Good not great. While I liked many aspects of it, it feels like it had never lived up to its full potential.
Cuphead is as tough to play as it is pretty… and boy is it pretty.
While there's still a bit of a steep learning curve for newcomers, NBA 2K17 offers up everything an NBA fan could ever want in a single package.
F1 2016 is a return to form that delivers what fans have wanted while finally feeling at home on this generation of consoles. If you’ve been holding out for a year or two, this is a great time to jump back on the incredibly fast wagon. Even if they did promise realism but still show Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton smiling on the podium at the same time.
Gran Turismo 7 really brings the old magic back – although at times it feels a bit more like a remake and less like the next generation of Gran Turismo.
Considering its low price point, Beautiful Desolation delivers a big adventure with lots of depth to the wild story and fascinating world.
