Fortunately, Crystal Dynamics has put together one of the most riveting action/adventure titles of this generation. Even then, Rise of the Tomb Raider is a game that people will play, love, and be done with, and that's okay. It's said to take dedicated completionists over 30 hours of playing to gather all...
On the whole Need for Speed is an entertaining game. Fortunately the plot, which barely matters in a racing game, is the game's weakest point. The depth of the customisation options allows you to truly fine tune the cars to fit your tastes, and that ensures that the rest of...
If this Need For Speed reboot came out last generation, it would likely be much the same with a few more loading times and less pretty graphics. There's really nothing wrong with that, but it's certainly worth keeping in mind that the game isn't trying to reinvent the wheel —...
Another thing we won't tell you is which game Funcom has been inspired by in the second part of the story, but we can mention that the first part bears similarities with games such as The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and Gone Home. Only scarier. This is noticeable in terms...
The inclusion of Spike Lee is a stroke of genius for Visual Concepts. Basketball nerds like ourselves will see parallels to Lee's film "Game of Life". The ability to create your own shirts and arenas is also an impressive touch that we appreciated. NBA 2K16 is an amazing looking and...
Undertale does a lot within its simple framework. It's a classic fantasy RPG that somehow still manages to make fun of modern society and social media. The whole thing's realised in simple 16-bit graphics, but it still manages to convey more depth than many lavishly created blockbuster productions. More than...
Halo 5: Guardians may stumble in regards to split-screen multiplayer, but it's still a game that'll grow in the months proceeding its launch. 15 free multiplayer maps will spearhead this movement, with REQ Packs and new online modes extending the appeal immensely for longtime fans and newcomers alike. This seems...
Overall Duck Game is a near perfect multiplayer game, and it comes with plenty of wacky charm and rock solid mechanics that ensure a fast and fair experience. The online side of the game is decent, only dragged down by the lack of host migration and slow lobby times, thus...
There's no denying that PS4 is perhaps not the ideal canvas for something like Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance, which by its nature would have found in an ideal habitat on the PS Vita, like Disgaea 3 and Disgaea 4 before it, themselves games that were a better fit on...
All this being said, Devastation isn't just an '80s throwback in the character designs that it uses. Higher difficulty levels can get punishing, and the focus on core gameplay mechanics might put off some players. It's a rewarding experience for anyone who can get into the groove, but the combat and...
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5
Of the many problems that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 suffers from, its failure to learn from previous entries in the series is the worst. The physics on show here raise the question whether anyone at Robomodo has stepped on a skateboard — but other issues ask whether they've even played the earlier...
What brings the whole package together is the audio effects and the soundtrack. At times the music pushes you on with electronic beats that match the intensity of battle, only to then slip into more peaceful melodies once you've escaped from danger. Sometimes space is completely quiet and the only...
