    It's better than its predecessor, but Demon Gaze II fails to make a lasting impression. The main culprits are the mediocre graphics and clichéd storyline. These flaws aren't gamebreaking, but they're serious enough to consider spending your hard-earned money elsewhere.

    There's a lot to do in Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut and most of it is actually a lot of fun. Quite surprising for a mobile game, ported to PS4. Shame the price tag is a little high.

    The old-fashioned 2D-levels are - as always - a treat, while the 3D-levels once more disappoint with wooden controls and confusing perspectives. Just stick to 2D, folk - you'll be all the better for it.

    If you thought an incoherent story and lacklustre world weren't enough to keep people from enjoying a game, wait until you see the microtransactions EA managed to cram into this series. What a disappointment.

    Oh how we wish we could've just replayed Dead Space or Alien: Isolation instead of this pile of junk. Syndrome tries to do those sources of inspiration justice... And fails on every possible level.

    To the naysayers: Call of Duty is back in a big way, paradoxically delving back into the past to present a fresher narrative and gameplay experience than we've not seen in years.

    If you're a car nut, you'll definitely like this. The cars look and sound exactly the way you expect them too, sometimes even better. The online modes are a joy to play. However, a severe lack of content, some strange design choices and the fact that there's hardly any damage models at all keep Gran Turismo Sport from reaching the lofty heights it aims at.

    You'll have a pretty hard time trying to find something positive about this mess. The graphics are a joke, the missions as repetitive as they get and the AI plain stupid. And that's really just the tip of the iceberg. Skip it.

    Overall, Assassin's Creed: Origins properly reinvents the franchise, offering a new and improved fighting and movement system, as well as an enormous open world to discover. Technically, it's not perfect, but this hardly hampers the experience.

    The Evil Within 2 isn't flawless, but it delivers where it counts. It's an at times scary and at often exhilarating experience with an intriguing story, hampered slightly by mediocre graphics and lacklustre voice-acting.

    ELEX is an absolute disaster, with in particular one inexcusable flaw: it does not work. At all.

    It's a shame the game still contains roughly the same amount of bugs and glitches its predecessor did. Visually and atmospherically, however, WWE 2K18 is a considerable step up for the franchise.

    If not for its improved graphics, Trogue Trooper Redux would be terrible on every front, with wooden animations, stupid AI and a cover system that flatout doesn't work. Shame.

    An improvement over the original in almost every way, though the focus on micro-transactions does take a lot of the fun out of it.

    The game's a bit slow both at the start and end, but don't let that stop you: if you loved the first game, you'll enjoy this one too. And probably die laughing, come to think of it.

    It's a shame the game forces you to replay certain sections in order to experience the whole thing, thus making JYDGE a lot more repetitive than it should be. If you are able to overlook this minor complaint, JYDGE comes highly recommended.

    As far as audio, graphics and physics go, The Girl and the Robot is basically archaic. Add the severely limited combat to the mix and you'll understand that The Girl and the Robot really isn't worth your money. Shame, because there's some fun to be had with the game's story and puzzles.

    There's potential here... which makes Raiders of the Broken Planet's failure all the more heartbreaking. The hardest pill to swallow? A close call between the lacklustre matchmaking, the game's unrelenting focus on grinding and the lack of clear instructions. Shame.

    It's fun, it's elaborate and it's neat to look at; Mages of Mystralia will keep you entertained for a while, though the lack of any real challenge is a bit of a downer.

    An intriguing and at times exceptionally funny tale coupled with excellent gameplay makes for a great gaming experience. Thus it's not at all difficult to overlook the fact that Danganronpa V3 never really looks or feels like a current gen game.

    Strangely enough, it's become easier to score goals and more difficult to avoid them... Which, at times, turns FIFA 18 into an absurd festival of goals. However, if you don't mind an occasional dose of ridiculousness, you'll definitely enjoy this newest iteration in EA's long-running franchise.

    Lacking challenge and decent graphics, NASCAR Heat 2 was never going to be a transcendent racing experience. However, if you're a fan of NASCAR, you'll find a lot to like in the game as well.

    Storywise, this could've been an animated feature film. Maybe it even should have been, since the game's severe lack of interaction is its biggest flaw, offering - when push comes to shove - a rather boring experience.

    Lightfield's concept impresses, as a mixture of horizontal and vertical races are wont to do. However, the game's technical shortcomings are too numerous to overlook.

    There's a lot of depth to ARK: Survival Evolved, though players will have to dig deep to find it. Technically, the game's also a bit of a mess, leaving ARK firmly lodged in the 'mediocre' section of your gaming library.

    Copy pasted from Madden NFL 17, the 2018 edition of EA's American Football franchise doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel. Adding a story mode was a nice touch though and will no doubt keep fans happy for a while.

    Sonic Mania is the Sonic title we've been waiting for. It's traditional in every sense of the word... and all the better for it. If not for the clunky autosave feature, the word 'perfect' might have come to mind.

    The story isn't quite as interesting as it used to be and the game's multiplayer mode feels a bit tacked on, but don't let that stop you. Yakuza Kiwami is still very much worth your time and sincerely recommended to both fans of and newcomers to the franchise.

    Visually stunning and old-fashionedly adventurous, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a great swang song for this memorable franchise. You'll miss Nathan Drake and his signature quips, though... and be unpleasantly surprised by the bugs that every now and then rear their ugly heads.
