So, should you buy Lego 2K Drive? It largely depends on what you're looking for. I rarely had a dull moment in the open world, which is brilliantly designed right down to the smallest 1x1 Lego piece. The activities are varied and thanks to the precise controls, exploring every nook...
Due to the war in their native Ukraine, they opted to make this game instead, which they have done in a little over a year - a quite impressive achievement all things considered. That being said, Sherlock Holmes The Awakened is betrayed by it's short development cycle, and ultimately...
There are some minor shortcomings, such as the game only clocking in at about five hours, and the ending feeling both rushed and a tad predictable. But all in all, The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is an excellent modern point-and-click thriller that in many aspects surpasses even adventure classics such...
But to be honest, 3-4 hours is probably a lot more than most people would have spent on a traditional Atari collection filled with dozens or even hundreds of antiquated games. While Atari Mania has its weaknesses, it ultimately succeeds in resurrecting the classic games instead of the usual embalming.
In a gaming landscape where most developers seem satisfied with polishing the same concept until their diamonds eventually turn back into coal, Pentiment is extremely refreshing, almost like taking a trip to the country after suffocating in the city. While we might have ravaged these lands in Age of Empires...
Perhaps this illustrates a certain tension within the game. The building and the exploration parts doesn't always blend together, and often I couldn't wait to get done with a certain object and get back in the game world exploring. This might just be me becoming more impatient as I get...

FIFA 21 offered lots of improvement outside of the pitch and FIFA 22 made many crucial improvements to the actual gameplay. In comparison, FIFA 23 falls...
That being said, it's not a perfect game. A few more moments of quiet exploration or more dialogue that didn't necessarily revolve around the war or clashes between the Danes and the Germans, would have provided some much needed relief akin to the more light-hearted sections of The Walking Dead....
If you have finished every challenge, driven every road, and your hacienda has been turned into a multi-storey car park, then maybe a fresh batch of Forza Horizon 5 content will appeal to you. But, everyone else is probably better served sticking to the main game.
Before playing Pokémon Legends Arceus I was quite skeptical, and judging from comments online, I was far from the only one. The game seemed a mishap of different styles and influences with seemingly no coherent vision. Now, having played through the game, I can safely say that the game, surprisingly,...
In short, Sherlock Holmes Chapter One is an excellent game. Where prequels often have been a sure mark of creative bankruptcy in storytelling, and the same, to a certain degree, has been the case with open world game design, this is certainly not the case here. Instead, story, mechanics and...
On the other hand, if you are an older gamer you might find some flaws with this game. The way the progression works limits your options and the overall gameplay is perhaps a bit simple. Still, if you have even a moderate interest in Greek mythology and haven't grown tired...
