Rise of the Tomb Raider presents the best Tomb Raider experience to-date, thanks to its epic story, landscapes, combat and characters.
Forza Horizon 3 delivers the ultimate car fantasy and festival experience, introduces innovative new features, and has listened to fans by returning some long missed ones. This is the Horizon game we’ve wanted, and developer Playground Games have delivered. Forza Horizon 3 is undoubtedly the ultimate celebration of cars, music, and freedom of the open road.
Whilst it may not be perfect, let's be honest, nothing ever is. Inside does have a few issues here and there with the story, but I don't care, the whole experience is an absolute gaming pleasure. Whilst it may not be a game that appeals to everyone and have a rather niche target market, those who love this genre will indeed, love this game.
Forza Horizon 4 has nailed what a racing game should be on the head.
Writing a conclusion for the Formula One game is always difficult as the core concept of the game hardly changes from year to year, but this year's effort has undoubtedly taken a big step forward. The ability to make and manage your own F1 team is something which racing fans can only dream of, and the way Codemasters has achieved this with F1 2020 is remarkable. The way it gradually grows over time like a carefully-watered plant, without overwhelming players with high-level F1 politics (crucially not making it too mundane, either) makes the entire experience very rewarding.
An amazing game overall that incorporates everything that the fans have been asking for - Improved graphics, a new gear system, an updated UI and HUD, completely redesigned fighting and stealth mechanics, and so much more.
F1 2018 builds upon the huge steps forward which have been taken in recent years.
Just make sure you get the regular edition, and don’t be tempted into their pesky microtransactions!
Rocket League is so easy to pick up and so hard to put down. Within just a few hours of play, I already feel myself wanting to go back and play more. The game has spread like wildfire and is one of the most popular games this year, yet I had never even heard about it before the game released. After three closed betas from the developers and fine-tuning, what's left is a competitive, fantastic experience.
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition showcases how a remaster should be done by redoing all the cinematics, campaign levels, multiplayer maps and adding a bunch of extra content- all in 1080p at either 30fps or 60fps. It also gives choice and flexibility to the players with the Backwards Compatibility titles, making this the ultimate package for fans and newcomers alike.
Halo 5: Guardians tells an epic story, across a vast, epic world and across these environments, players will face epic battles. From a divulging Campaign mode, to epic Multiplayer matches across Arena and Warzone, Halo 5: Guardians is truly the Halo game we've all been waiting for. While it isn't perfect, the experience is incredible.
Quantum Break is Remedy's most ambitious and immersive title yet.
Just Cause 3 is a fantastic, exhilarating experience. Packed full of content, it's a game that will keep you drawn in for a while.
Forza Motorsport 6 is the most beautiful, advanced and biggest game Turn 10 Studios have built to-date. Featuring 460 Forzavista cars with fully-detailed cockpits, 26 beautifully-created destinations and new ideas such as Stories of Motorsport, Leagues, Mods and more, Forza Motorsport 6 delivers on value to the player. There's hours of content here for the player to explore and people will fit into the Forza community in different ways.
Driven by an immense storyline, action-packed parkour scenes and gunplay, and beautiful worlds, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is one of the best experiences you can find on PlayStation 4 – a true masterpiece.
This is definitely a game you need to own if you enjoyed the previous Guitar Hero games, the new layout is really player friendly and easier to get used to than you'd think. Guitar Hero Live is cheesy but a good offline experience whereas GHTV is super addictive and you'll find yourself just playing through songs thinking to yourself "Oh yeah I've totally heard this one before" unless you already know the song and are already singing along to it."
We've been waiting a long time for another Mirror's Edge game, and we finally have it with Catalyst. While the storyline is quite predictable with dull characters, the gameplay is where it truly shines. The movement feels fluid, the time trials and social integration allows for replayability.
This is, in my honest opinion, the definitive First Person Shooter, locked and stocked with two smoking barrels. Get ready to fight like hell.
Street Fighter V is incredibly accessible, meaning that any player can hop on, get to grips with the controls, and have a great time. Competitive and casual players alike will find a home in Street Fighter V's diverse game modes and multiplayer matches. It's been a while coming, but Capcom's brilliant fighting series has finally returned.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate is a massive step-up from its predecessor last year. Featuring a vast London set during the Industrial Revolution that players can discover, with eccentric characters you want to learn about, and superb gameplay, Syndicate truly sets the bar for what this series is about.
