In the end then, Gear.Club Unlimited is a fun but flawed racer. If you put in the effort to get to grips with its unique handling model you’ll find a game that you can really sink your teeth into, and it’ll reward you with plenty of licensed cars and a...
Road Rage is like one of those terrible low-budget straight-to-video movies that occupies the shelves of your local supermarket: you know it’s rubbish but you can’t quite help but be bemused by it. The dialogue is cringeworthy to the point where it’s actually quite entertaining, and while the vehicular combat...
Sonic Forces is the latest in a long line of 3D Sonic games that have been nothing but a disappointment. Only its melodramatic soundtrack bristling with vocalised tracks deserves any praise. It feels like a game bereft of any clear direction; a mish-mash of ideas poorly glued together in the...
It’s a shame then, that Super Lucky’s Tale will forever remain in the shadow of Super Mario Odyssey in the 3D platforming stakes. It’s cute, well-made and fun to play. Just because Lucky isn’t a plumber in blue dungarees doesn’t mean he isn’t worth your time. Give the little fox a chance, and you’ll...
Need for Speed Payback is at its best when you’re completing story missions, speeding through thrilling set-pieces and battling against cops and criminals. It’s even highly entertaining when you’re just belting around its open world, completing activities and engaging in events. But when you hit that brick wall and have...
And so the initial joy you feel at leaping into Bubsy’s colourful, retro-influenced world becomes tempered by the nagging sensation that you’re just going through the motions and the game starts to become a grind. As eye-pleasing as The Woolies Strike Back’s levels are, the change of scenery is largely...
If you’re after a game to fill those moments of downtime between the AAA releases that you’ll no doubt be playing over the coming months, you really can’t go wrong with Assault Android Cactus. It may not have the prettiest visuals, even running at 4K, but it has a hell...
With a stream of post-launch content bolstering what it is already an epic 50-hour-plus adventure, Assassin’s Creed Origins is one of the most engrossing and awe-inspiring experiences of the year, especially on Xbox One X where the visuals are pushed to the max. You can nit-pick all you like about...
Overall, Megaton Rainfall is a very enjoyable title from a clearly talented developer and feels like a bargain at £12.99/$15.99. The clear desire to push the boundaries of both the technology and the genre has paid off, as Megaton Rainfall offers immersive, enjoyable and impressive gameplay with PSVR. If you own...
Bigger, bolder and somehow a hell of a lot more outlandish than The New Order, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus’ imperfections do little to hold the game back from being one of the most compelling single player games of the year. Killing Nazis has rarely been any more fun, and there’s...
I’d go as far to say that Rush: A Disney-Pixar Adventure is one of the better Disney games of recent years – Infinity aside. The recreations of the Pixar franchises are just beautiful, and although each level may be short, they’re all certainly sweet. I’d highly recommend it for younger players, and if you’re...
What Darkwood does best, though, is give you a feeling of complete helplessness. The atmosphere, the darkness, the eerie soundtrack, and the design of the monsters you encounter are what make Darkwood one of the most memorable survival horror games I’ve played in recent times. Even after preparing as best...
