Scratch the surface and you'll find a very shallow car combat game that simply doesn't have what it needs to pull you back in over and over again. Destruction AllStars is unlikely to be the next PlayStation Plus success story.
Without straying far from the successful sandbox formula, it's an excellent final part of IO's trilogy. While the increased freedom and level variety won't be for everyone, Hitman 3 boasts some of the best locations and stories the series has ever seen, and there's so much to uncover in each...
Even if a better selection of modes would be welcome, Fuser is often a joy to play and potentially the future of rhythm games. Dancing along to a great mix was always going to be great, but Harmonix has developed the Dropmix idea into a game that's deeper, more engaging,...
That lack of challenge and sense of progression won't be for everyone, and might even put off Dirt veterans, but Dirt 5's a varied and beautiful racing game that's a blast from event number one.
At its heart, FIFA 21 does a lot really well. However, it is also a mash up of incremental steps forward, baffling design choices, and seemingly ignored issues. It simply doesn't do enough to make the overall experience more enjoyable than it was last year.
Even if F1 2020 feels a little tired in some aspects and My Team isn't the revolutionary mode I hoped it would be, F1 2020 is still the best the series has ever been.
What The Golf? was a highlight of Apple Arcade's launch lineup but it feels right at home on Switch. It's a joyous mix of simple gameplay, hilarious situations and ingenious design, made even better by the inclusion of the riotous Party Mode.
If you're after a big dumb shark game, Maneater will scratch that itch. The quality of the gameplay and some of its RPG mechanics might make you wish there was some more depth and variety to it all though.
Playing as the Predator is a wonderful idea, it just deserves a better game around it. Bugs, mediocre first-person gameplay, repetitive missions, an ugly setting, and a reliance on playing with friends mean Predator Hunting Grounds is boring a lot more often than it is enjoyable.
Moving Out is a welcome addition to the collection of couch co-op games that focus on an adrenaline and argument fueled race against the clock. Its gameplay loop is easy to understand but hard to master, throwing new obstacles at your around every corner. It just doesn't have the chaotic...
Doom Eternal is far more than gore, double jumps, and brutal executions. It’s an impeccably designed game that perfectly balances every single aspect of its action to create one of the most challenging, exhausting, and consistently fun shooters in years.
If you've enjoyed similar games, Simulacra will be right up your street. Its story is creepy and unpredictable, with the variety in gameplay keeping you engaged, even if it drags towards the end.
