Cricket 26 is iterative, rather than a bold new vision for how cricket games should play, but Big Ant’s earned the privilege to approach its cricket games like this now because they’ve spent the past ten years building up to a cricket series that already offers a quality simulation of the sport. It might not have the investment of the big blockbuster properties, but nonetheless, this year’s Cricket offers an earnest, enthusiastic, and high-quality take on the sport for fans. I’ve always been an admirer of the vision and clear passion for the sport that Big Ant has, and I fully expect that this new title will occupy yet more hundreds of hours of my time.
