“Divinity: Original Sin II has expanded greatly upon its predecessor, addressing many of the complaints it once had and pushing the standard much farther away.”

“If you want the RPG with the most skills, the most stats to consider, and a world that constantly makes meaningful use of every line on your character sheet, there’s nothing else quite like Divinity: Original Sin…”

“Lumines didn’t need to reinvent the wheel for its remaster as it already had its base down pat.”

“Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the most ambitious Lego game yet, and despite the occasional technical mishap it delivers a daring and often delightful romp through the most iconic film franchise of all time.”

“Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare adds new life with movement and graphics, but falls short on sound design and story.”

“Timing button prompts, ruining emotional cutscenes, coordinating madness, and endless mini-game distractions. A Way Out is a co-op game like no other that you shouldn't miss out on experiencing.”

“Competing against friends to fastest times is going to be a bit of an addiction, again like Trials, and for only £25 I can't see many reasons not to give Trackmania Turbo a whirl.”

“Always fun to watch, sometimes tedious to play alone. Star Wars and LEGO solidify their meaningful relationship once again.”

“Great campaign, coupled with intense multiplayer mayhem but all of that is dragged down by an infuriating number of freezes, crashes, and stutters - both in single-player and multiplayer.”

“When I was a kid, my local church youth group had a few arcade machines all hooked up in a row and set to freeplay. I didn’t get to go to arcades often, so”

“While I may not have extensive experience with monster truck racing games, I'm pretty confident that Monster Jam Showdown is a good one, delivering knockabout physics and pleasing visuals, as well as accessible and…”

“We tell you, it’s a good game! It’s not average! It might have some problems here and there, but you have to admit it is a “Good” game.”

“A hit sequel across the sixth generation of video game consoles, PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC aims to scratch that nostalgic itch. Fans of 3D platformer collectathons”

“What The Escapists 2 does do is improve its look, expand your options for escape, and throws in a hilarious multiplayer. What The Escapists 2 does not do is make itself significantly more accessible and forgiving.”

“As far as vertical shmups hauled out of the arcades and ported to home consoles are concerned, Raiden IV x MIKADO remix is just about as good as it gets.”

“Hypercharge: Unboxed on Nintendo Switch is another exemplification that shooter games can find their fit on a Nintendo console. Hypercharge: Unboxed is a third-”

“LEGO Batman 3 starts slow and then gets a lot better, and then overwhelms with so much content it's hard to be disappointed.”

“Hot Wheels Unleashed is a competent enough racer, but lacks anything to make it unique compared to previous games. It’s generally very bland, relies on loot boxes, and the AI rubber bands constantly.”

“Splitscreen shooter balances depth with accessibility; shotguns with hobby horses.”

“Will Warhammer set in the Old World finally see a good RPG production that cannot be faulted? There is a good chance of this happening, but in the hazy future. The present is highly unsatisfactory.”

“Although the foundation for a great online twin-stick shooter has been laid with Secret Ponchos, it’s going to need more content and a meatier core mode to really keep people interested — until then, I think the game…”
