While the Dirt Rally games are about as serious as racing sims come, Dirt 5 is a breath of colorful, arcade-y fresh air. This is a vibrant arcade racing game that lets the player decide which of its multiple racing disciplines they prefer, with Nolan North and Troy Baker affording it a level of unexpected video game voice acting royalty to boot. Throw in its deep Playgrounds Mode and Dirt 5 is a game that can keep on giving, as long as its community continues to support it.
Whether you believe it or not, there was a time when licensed video game movie tie-ins were good. Aladdin and The Lion King were two of the finest examples of such games back then and have both been brought back to life by Disney and Digital Eclipse (the developers behind Mega Man Legacy Collection and Disney Afternoon Collection) on Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC as DISNEY CLASSIC GAMES: ALADDIN AND THE LION KING. Given the breadth of content and respectful amount of extras, it’s the definitive edition of these games for those who have fond memories of them while also being a decent package for people who want to dive into these licensed titles from decades ago.
The beautiful game is back in full session and kicks off with the much-anticipated release of FIFA 20. This year’s edition of the gargantuan soccer franchise is better than ever thanks to the introduction of Volta, a reboot of sorts for the fan-favorite FIFA Street series. It’s not just Volta, either as FIFA 20 makes small strides in reinvigorating both Career Mode and Ultimate Team as well. It’s not a complete reinvention of the formula as it plays similarly to FIFA 19 but it’s a more complete package with some tweaks and additions that make it one of the best installments the series has seen in quite some time.
Soccer season is in full flow already, and as such, Konami and EA have entered into its yearly competition. Konami’s output this year is the bizarrely rebranded eFootball PES 2020. With the unneeded name change, you’d perhaps expect a game that focuses more on its esports offerings than other areas of the game. This is true to some extent, but PES 2020 will feel very familiar to longtime PES players, for better and for worse. Little has changed over the last game aside from your usual array of tweaks and minor additions. The name change hasn’t brought with it any drastic changes either on or off the pitch. PES 2020 plays an utterly fantastic game of football, but not one that you haven’t experienced before.
