Overall when it works it offers a satisfying experience where you leap from truck to truck perfectly timing jumps and flying through the air stylishly hoping from air-borne vehicles. At other times, though, it feels like blind luck as you randomly get through levels or unexpectedly get that high score...
In summary, Rise of Iron is on the whole a genuine disappointment, though it's not without redeeming moments. It panders very well to the existing community of players, providing a to-do list of grind-worthy events that will occupy each week before reset. But with players already conquering the new raid...
Halcyon 6 may be not light years ahead of competitors in terms of originality, feeling like a patchwork of borrowed ideas, but the way Massive Damage has been able to meaningfully stitch together its elements of base building, tactical combat and crew management has resulted in a truly compelling experience....

It's hard to shake the feeling that Virginia won't be for everyone, that some people will question the lack of interaction or bemoan the on-rails approach to gameplay, and that's fine, no game can be everything to everyone. Virginia sits a strange place where it borrows ideas in almost equal...
NBA 2K17 is a great game that depicts the sport almost perfectly. Gameplay-wise it is wonderfully tight and intense, the graphics and sound only adding to the experience. Game modes leave nothing to be desired and jumping right into the season with the "Start Today" feature is very exciting. The...
That Forza Horizon 3 fails to exceed the promise of its predecessor is of course a little disappointing, but that doesn't make it a bad driving game by any stretch of the imagination. Actually, it shames almost all other driving games out there, and continues to set the bar high....
We definitely understand why Dear Esther has inspired so many games after it, but also why it's so controversial. The very restrictive gameplay makes it almost movie-like, but the little influence you have enhances the experience. Exploring the mystical island and learning more about the story at your own pace...
NHL 17
NHL 17 is a good hockey game and it builds on last year's already stable edition. The World Cup mode is a welcome addition and the changes to Franchise are many and deep. The biggest problem is if you already own NHL 16 then it may be difficult to justify...
While it succeeds in compiling some of the best zombie slaying action of the last generation into one accessible package, this Triple Pack is a far cry from a definitive collection. The enhanced performance, whilst noticeable, does little to combat its ageing visuals and an absence of any exclusive content...
Judging a collection like this is, of course, quite tricky. In a way, all three games are masterpieces, and therefore it's quite tempting to simply smack a big, fancy 10 on Bioshock: The Collection with the reason being that the games are worthy of that score, regardless of the wrapping....
When considering it as a whole, all of our criticisms are relatively minor. The commentary, for instance, is noticeably recycled (aren't they all, though), with phrases like "good defence, plain and simple, good defence" from Jim Beglin coming up time and time again, but other than a little audio and...
