Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox Series X and S is the first current-gen game that feels like it would have been impossible last-gen. It not only looks like a current-gen exclusive – it’s the first game that plays like one all the time. There’s a touch of irony that its...
Skyward Sword, often the forgotten child when reminiscing about The Legend of Zelda’s 3D catalogue, is the last in line to be given a makeover. Anchored with motion controls that finally delivered the original promise of the Wii – requiring the MotionPlus add-on – it seemed destined to be confined...
If you were to throw the world of Monster Hunter into a blender with a dash of Pokémon and a splash of Final Fantasy then the end result would be a tall, refreshing glass of Monster Hunter Stories 2 Wings of Ruin.
The original Watch Dogs was a curious thing, slightly over-hyped and under-delivering. Like Assassin’s Creed before it, the opening title in the franchise proved to be a proof of concept, with Watch Dogs 2 ditching wooden protagonist Aiden Pearce for a more compelling hero. 2020’s Watch Dogs Legion upended this altogether, doing away...
Mario and friends have made a miraculous comeback to the golf course after a surprisingly prolonged absence. While developer Camelot has prioritised Mario’s tennis career, Mario Golf Super Rush marks the end of a seven-year hiatus since Mario Golf World Tour (2014, 3DS), and an astonishing 18-year wait since the...
After PlayStation released a number of games for free in March of this year – including 2016’s Ratchet & Clank remake – I had a great time revisiting the game to engage with what always made Insomniac’s series feel so good. Crisp and colourful visuals, weapon-based mayhem and a variety of worlds...
Mass Effect Legendary Edition hits consoles and PC tomorrow, and Stevivor was able to put the remastered trilogy through its paces (at least, in part) on both Windows PC via Origin and Xbox One via Xbox Series X ahead of that time.
The Resident Evil series took an interesting turn with Resident Evil 7, moving the renowned survival horror franchise into a first-person perspective. For me, this risky move paid off. It provided players with a front seat to the horror show, resulting in a terrific ride… despite going off the rails...
The Monster Hunter series is an absolute juggernaut, beloved by its die-hard fans especially in Japan. I’ll admit, since reviewing Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate way back on the 3D5 in 2015, I’d put the game (and the series) down and not taken another look. At the time it hadn’t felt...
After a successful grab at nostalgia with the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, developer Toys for Bob has taken the lead with Crash Bandicoot 4 It’s About Time, a title that’s part retcon, part homage and part sequel. The result is a highly enjoyable platformer that not only returns our...
Super Mario 3D World is one of the last Wii U exclusives to see a revival on Switch. But unlike most of the Wii U’s greatest hits, it arrives with significant new content in the form of Bowser’s Fury. While we are hesitant to recommend Wii U owners double dip...
Almost exactly four years ago, I got the chance to review one of the most stylish-looking JRPGs in a long while: Persona 5. Imagine my great delight when, without prompting, my editor dropped a PSN review code into my DMs, saying “I would imagine you’d be into this”. The code...
