While the character design is solid, the sci-fi setting works well enough, and some of the abilities are genuinely interesting, so much of what Crucible tries to do has been done better elsewhere. There's a number of good ideas bubbling under the surface, but unless something drastic changes soon, I...
C&CRC looks great, sounds great, and fans can even dig into the history of the series with behind-the-scenes footage and bonus features that unlock as you move through the game's various missions. Whether you're playing through the war between the fictitious GDI and Kane's Brotherhood of Nod in Tiberian Dawn,...
All in all, Golf With Your Friends is a hugely entertaining crazy golf game with a great multiplayer twist. There are tons of customisation options, the gameplay is very accessible, and a few rough textures aside, it's got cute graphics and a playful atmosphere. Playing solo is a reasonably entertaining...
With a decent selection of DLC and a main story campaign full of intrigue and excitement, Mafia II: Definitive Edition is still worth a look in 2020, especially if you missed it the first time around. It looks good (mostly), plays great (mostly), and offers hours and hours of entertainment...
While Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy can't help but show its age, it still holds up pretty well and looks charming despite some clunky textures. There's a progression system that lets you unlock new abilities as you go, and a selection of missions that will keep you entertained for...
Considering the modest price, if you're a fan of the genre we'd still recommend taking a chance on this one, but just make sure to savour the first run or two. Digging into the various choices you make can reveals entertaining new scenes that you will have missed before, and...
In fact, it helped make our mind up when pondering the score below. The busy UI and overly complicated player-progression had us on the line, but the technical hiccups sealed the deal. We can't give Doom Eternal the highest honours, although it is an excellent first-person shooter that offers 20+...
Update: In the original version of this review we wrote that the game was a sequel to Hidden Folks, but the two games are not directly linked and the text now reflects that. Apologies for the confusion, folks.
Despite being the evolution of a familiar concept, Zombie Army 4: Dead War is a quality game with high production values. The gunplay is great, even away from the scope (an area that Rebellion has steadily improved upon over the years), and we particularly enjoyed the crazy weapon mods. We...
We have been eagerly awaiting something with the potential to dethrone Xcom 2, and Snapshot's attempt certainly comes close thanks to a strong theme and an engrossing strategy layer, however, there are a couple of things that hold it back, most notably the number of niggling bugs that are still...
Overall, the niggles are relatively minor and for the most part, we are pleased with how this little nostalgia trip has come together. For dedicated players, there's an almost overwhelming amount of content to play through, from custom matches where anything is possible, through to authored campaigns that explore history...
