Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon
The cutscenes are animations that look like they’re straight out of a Super Nintendo game which adds to the overall setting and nostalgia strings that the developers are no doubt trying to pull on. The graphics are in no way amazing but it is way that they add to the...
It has its fair share of issues, but there’s more than enough in EA Sports PGA Tour to keep newcomers and golf pros occupied. It’s a solid step forward for the EA Sports golf titles, and a welcome return to the course.
Arslan: The Warriors of Legend is an enjoyable take on the Dynasty Warriors genre but not worth the full price for newcomers of the original anime series. Despite its distinct character design, interesting combat mechanics and in-game rewards, lack of variety in its level design holds it back. <img decoding="async"...
With some doubt at the front of people’s minds, Returnal is a shushing finger across the lips of detractors as well as a tremendous example that PlayStation’s middle line titles can still offer as much value and entertainment as its tentpole exclusives. Housemarque achieves an atmosphere like few can and...
Crysis 3
Team Deathmatch is also incredibly fun to play. The level variety makes it feel fresh from other games and the Nanosuit really changes things up. All in all, I really like the way that the developers have added their little touches in order to make sure that every single multiplayer...

Lies of P takes a bit to get going but once it does it’s an absolute joy to play. While as challenging as you’d expect from a game channeling Bloodborne, its minor improvements help make the experience ever so slightly more accessible. More importantly, it manages to carve out its...
LEGO The Hobbit
One of the biggest issues with the game are the boss fights which are comprised of QTE events and frantic platforming sections which can still be frustrating due to the camera angles.
Disc Room
Not unlike the discs we spent so long combating, Disc Room is far more clever than it appears to be at a glance. Like Minit before it, Disc Room is another minimalist concept rooted in classic design and inspiration, except there’s so much more beneath the surface. Just as the...
Combine this high attention to detail with the game’s characters and combat system with a very rich breadth of content – be it the game’s story mode, towers or even just how many finishing moves are available to each character – and you’ve got a fully featured fighter that doesn’t...
Marvel Rivals
Marvel Rivals is a rare example of a live service launch done right. Some aspects might feel more derivative, but the promise of future content that'll build on what's already a solid foundation is proof that Marvel Rivals is here to stay.
