Playing with physical Hot Wheels was always a blast as a kid, and now playing Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged really recaptures a lot of that same magic. Much of what is found in this sequel is built upon the ground that was laid by the first game, but now...
Just like the original that preceded it, Lords of the Fallen is a solid Soulslike game, which relies on a familiar game loop of dying repeatedly, learning from your mistakes along the way, while finding a nice track of enemies to slaughter endlessly as you slowly grind your character’s level...
Rather than a full-on reinvention of the FIFA series alongside the name change, EA Sports FC 24 is exactly what we would have expected from FIFA 24 if it had maintained the old naming structure. That is far from a bad thing though, as this annual franchise had already created...
NHL 24
NHL 24 is once again another solid outing in the long-running series. It may be far from revolutionary, but it still provides players with a great hockey experience along with some enjoyable additions like the new Exhaust System and HUT moments, as well as the ability to finally play with...
But beyond that, there are a few areas that could use some fine-tuning. Specifically in its RPG mechanics, which can feel like a grind for upgrading vehicles. It also lacks tracks and modes, but that’s something that can be fixed over time. It’s still an issue for launch, though I’m...
The DLC drops tomorrow, and I can’t even tell you how much it will cost, as nothing has been announced outside of it being paid content, but hey, if it’s cheap enough, then I’d say it could be worth the buy. Otherwise, it’d be a hard sell even to fans...
NBA 2K24
NBA 2K24 is the same game more or less than its many predecessors, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The gameplay remains solid with an emphasis on shooting, so it may take a bit to get used to the more delicate mechanics. The City is full of activities that...
Payday 3
If you’re not a die-hard fan of the series, waiting for the server issues to be fully resolved is the best step to take right now. When that is in the past, you may dive into these initially confusing but eventually rewarding heists, knowing that the Infamy system is a...
The Crew Motorfest is a fun surprise. I intend to keep playing it for at least a few more hours and will likely keep it installed if I need a pretend mini vacation. My biggest gripe is the Internet Car Influencer culture from which the game takes its narrative cues....
I’m only saddened by the fact that this is the only expansion Cyberpunk 2077 is receiving. But I’m glad the studio has gone all out with it, incorporating so much feedback over the years to make the very game we’ve dreamt about. Whatever lies next for CDPR, well, that’s something...
The low price tag is a good point, but not enough of a saving grace to make us forget about the glaring gameplay and network issues, lifeless characters, and the single map at launch. Deceit 2 feels like an Early Access release turned official launch, a game that tried to...
Immortals of Aveum is a game that attempts to break out of the saturated FPS genre by offering a fantasy-themed, magic-based shooter based on an entirely new story. It’s an ambitious attempt, and while Ascendant Studios definitely did a solid job at creating a satisfying gunplay experience, its mediocre story...
