    EA takes baby steps in refining the gameplay while adding enough content to keep you entertained for quite a while. The entry barrier for new players is pretty low, which should be beneficial to the game's community. Oddly though, the graphics are of a lesser quality than last year's iteration and the commentary is still off.

    The PlayStation 4 version is an excellent conversion from an already great PC game. Very engaging gameplay with plenty of lore to discover. Great humor, lots of challenge and we could go on and on about its qualities. The graphical performance isn't consistent however but that shouldn't detract you from what is a fantastic game. You need to play this game.

    The sequel improves on the original in many ways thanks to more variation and turn based elements. Voice acting is decent enough. The amount of cut scenes and the long winded story detract from the actual content though and gameplay does get a bit repetitive in the long term. At its core a fine game but some odd choices hold the game back.

    Assassin's Creed has never been bigger or more ambitious, with an equally enormous and captivating world filled to the brim with stuff to do. Over time it may get a bit repetitive though and the actual creed of the assassins has been put in the background, which long time fans may feel let down by.

    An interesting concept that doesn't quite come out right. Tuning your car is fun because of the tremendous amount of parts available but unfortunately it's the game itself that needs tuning. Controls are terrible. AI is atrocious. Physics are all over the place. The game is riddled with bugs. You won't find anybody else online. All of these issues could be patched out but in its current state this game is a car wreck. A pity.

    This expansion puts destiny 2 back on the map. Great story, beautiful destinations, awesome Supers, plenty of content, an excellent new multiplayer mode called Gambit and to top it all off a stellar new raid for you to sink your teeth in. Long story short; the Destiny 2: Forsaken DLC is exactly what you'd expect and what the base game needs. If they could only fix that framerate though.

    Torn is a captivating puzzler which really finds a home in Virtual Reality due to pretty environments, great audio and excellent voice-acting. The game stutters from time to time and audio sometimes gets cut off towards the end. And although the puzzles themselves are pretty basic in design, the overall experience is a very positive one.

    Combat is entertaining as usual and the flashbacks to the older animes are cool enough but that's about it in terms of positives. Load times are too long, customization options are very limited, there is no storyline, not enough levels, a poor camera implementation and we could go on. Fans and newcomers alike, leave this one be.

    While visually very appealing and with a highly varied career mode, V-Rally 4 is plagued by a poor control scheme which can't decide whether it wants to be an arcade racer or a race simulator. Paired with very long load times the end result is a game which could and should have been far better than the end result. V-Rally deserves better.

    A SoulsBorne game with its own twist which turns out to be pretty entertaining, especially when it all comes together. And that is also our main concern; there are plenty of times when things don't come together at all which results in frustrating gameplay. Too bad, because the core of Immortal: Unchained is good.

    NBA 2K19 is still king of the hill thanks to phenomenal animations, tremendous gameplay and a slew of game modes that will last you for a long time. That being said, there is still the issue of long load times and the blatant push towards micro transactions which really takes away from the core experience.

    Firewall Zero Hour raises the bar for all VR shooters that follow. You'll need the Aim controller to get the most out of it, but it's more than worth it. The thrill of 4-on-4 with live players is sure to fill your friends list and there really is nothing quite like this. Let's hope the online lobbies remain filled for quite some time because if there ever was a game that deserved it on PlayStation VR, this is it. Buy this now.

    A relentless flow of action with a large selection of guns available deliver a lot of fun, especially in co-op. Controls could have been a bit more intuitive and sometimes it's hard to have a clear overview of what's going on around you. Nevertheless an entertaining title.

    A brave attempt to try something new in the action-RPG genre which ultimately fails in delivering due to boring combat, poor graphics, uninspired levels, balancing issues and struggling gameplay. Do not buy this game.

    If you're looking for longevity then look no further. The lore is interesting enough to continue playing. The audiovisual design is well done and even though the game is pretty difficult, newcomers won't be scared off by it. Technically there are plenty of issues. Frame rate hiccups, long load times, a copious amount of screen tearing and lacklustre matchmaking are our major gripes.

    The main distinctive feature is the creative use of the color palette. It absolutely looks the part even though the middle section of the game leaves something to be desired. Great controls and a large selection of puzzles will guarantee you'll have a great time with Planet Alpha though.

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider shifts the franchise's focus more towards exploration - which is a good thing, since it complements Lara Croft's character in a way the more shooting-oriented previous games didn't. The adventure's a bit predictable, but nevertheless a joy to see through to the end, even if an annoying camera and bad input registration drag the experience down at times.

    An entertaining point & click adventure which offers you plenty of humor. The story has plenty of plot twists which makes for a refreshing, visually appealing game. Playtime is relatively short and the character development is very limited by consequence. Nevertheless, Detective Gallo is a fun diversion while it lasts.

    Get ready for some old school gameplay combined with fantastic graphics, a great story and entertaining characters. Our only gripe with Dragon Quest XI is the crafting system which seems to be purely luck-based. Voice-acting is so-so but that won't detract you from what is a fantastic game overall. Recommended

    The latest iteration of Pro Evo mostly has subtle improvements and enhancements overall. Pacing is better. Players react more realistically. General gameplay is slightly improved. The way crowds react in realistically recreated stadiums immensely adds to the atmosphere. Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 is an excellent footie sim which doesn't stray from previous games and offers exactly what you'd expect. The commentary is still horrible unfortunately.

    Marvel's Spider-Man for PS4 is a great way to experience the diverse and unique world of Spider-Man. The game looks amazing, it's well-written, funny and is absolute a pleasure to play. It is by far the best entry in the Spider-Man gaming franchise to date. This game has great depth and so many things to do, it will keep you occupied for a long while.

    The artistic visual style make Death's Gambit stand out and the second part of the adventure really caught us by surprise. That, along with the awesome music and the crazy bosses you'll encounter make this game worth the price of admission. Unfortunately, we can't ignore the fact that combat isn't very deep or intelligent and the first part of the game is too boring which is a shame. Technical issues also spoil some of the fun.

    Playing this shooter solo is considerably less fun than playing coop. That being said, the action is entertaining enough and the commentary fits the mayhem perfectly. The game also has longevity thanks to some extra modes which make for a complete and fun title. Lack of couch coop is incomprehensible though and there are some puzzles which are far too easy and some battles which are too long-winded.

    A good strategy game that plays really well and offers plenty of challenge. You end up feeling like an actual spy while playing this game and that is a big compliment to the developers. Sadly though, there are a couple of difficulty spikes throughout which causes some frustration.

    A remake of a pretty dated game which turns out very well. The story remains fantastic, especially with the addition of some new scenes. The mini games never fail to be funny either. This remake is a prime example of how to do a remake and Yakuza fans and newcomers alike can blindly purchase this game.

    Part 2 trumps the original in every way. Production values are high, the multiplayer is fun, gameplay is very intense and we could go on about its qualities. Everything you'd expect from a sequel is here and we heartily recommend you pick this up. Especially if you played and loved part 1.

    Codemasters expanded last year on the 2016 base game and they're doing the same thing for the 2018 iteration. F1 2018 is the best Formula 1 game to date since there is more depth than ever, more classic cars to use and many more features. If you're a fan of the sport, you're in for a good time yet at the same time the penalty system still is as inconsistent as it ever was and the AI can pull some weird stunts from time to time.

    A fun point & click adventure that mainly stands out due to its visual style, it's humor, a great story and some good puzzles. You'd think that this would make for a classic game in its genre but unfortunately there is too little freedom in accomplishing the in-game goals. Technical hiccups interrupt the game on occasion, which is too bad.

    Another step forward, even if it isn't exactly a big one. Real Player Motion and a couple of other subtle improvements ultimately outweigh the dragging Longshot mode and some strange happenings on and off the pitch.

    The first episode of the supposed final season of Telltale's The Walking Dead is a classic slow burn, with well-developed characters and a real shocker of an ending. Telltale experiments with giving the player a bit more input and though this is nice conceptually, it unfortunately also leads to a lot of trial-and-error. Don't let that stop you though; there's a lot of promise here.
