“Ultimately, I do still believe it’s a game meant for hardcore cycling fans. However, I absolutely do believe that casuals can and will enjoy this game if they start with challenge mode races and use those to learn how to play the full races properly. ”

“While this isn’t the game you play to expect a top-notch simulation of a baseball game, I feel there are certain things RBI Baseball 19 can touch up on in that department to help the crowd their trying to attract with this series.”

“The Gear Club Unlimited series could be a top-level racer and dominate that scene on the Switch for years to come. But until they find a way to make it feel more than a large-scale mobile game, it’s impossible to recommend to anyone who isn’t desperate for a handheld racer not named Mario Kart. ”

“If you are looking for Axis Football 18 to be the title that gets you away from the Madden machine forever, you're going to be disappointed. However, at an affordable price of just $20, Axis Football 18 is something that any football fan — especially fans of franchise mode and customization — should check out.”

“Three years into its run, it's clear that NASCAR Heat is a series continuing to make a move to the front of the racing pack.”

“The Golf Club 2019 presents a good challenge for new and experienced players alike, and does a nice job of making you feel like you've accomplished something anytime you pull off a successful round or tournament.”

“With no major improvements, awful presentation, mediocre gameplay and a higher-than-necessary price point, Casey Powell Lacrosse 18 is a game that only diehard fans of the sport will appreciate. And even that may be reaching a bit.”

“With fun on-field action, excellent visuals and a number of modes to choose from, Mutant Football League is the best arcade football game since NFL Street 2.”

“If you haven't played the series since FHM 1 or 2, it's sure to blow you away. If you were big into the last edition then you may not find a lot different with this year's release aside from the Vegas addition, matchup screen, and some of the minor changes. It's just as deep as ever, but FHM 4 leaves you with a feeling of wanting more.”

“It's just disappointing that career mode feels more like a chore rather than a fun experience where you can "live the life" of a racer trying to move up the ranks. Thankfully other modes like Challenges and Multiplayer keep the fun coming in a game that, in spite of its on-track shortcomings, represents solid progress for the series.”

“Super Blood Hockey is a game that has its charm. From the great music to the generally fun gameplay, it's definitely worth giving it a look at such a low price. But unless you're playing with some friends, there's not much worth coming back to after completing the challenges and playing in a tournament or two.”

“It's not going to make you completely forget about getting Madden this year, but Axis Football 17 does a solid job of giving PC football fans who've been yearning for a fun experience an option to pick up.”

“Canadian Football is an okay foundation for a series that Canuck Play hopes will become an annual franchise. It offers glimpses of fun and is sure to see plenty of updates in the future, but it's a game that just lacks enough polish and substance to justify a price tag even as cheap as $15.99.”

“The Golf Club 2 comes out swinging to show they took feedback from the first installment, and improves on every aspect of the original. From the customization options to the stellar game of golf on the course, The Golf Club 2 is a near perfect simulation golf game. The only thing keeping it from being the best ever are a few technical hiccups and a dry presentation offering.”

“At a cost of $29.99, there just isn't enough of a potential return on investment to justify Snow Moto Racing Freedom. The game wasn't bad to the point of being unplayable, it was just boring. And that can be almost worse than being unplayable.”

“It has the recipe for success in the indie sports market, and could become one of the hits of 2017.”

“Disc Jam is a nice base for something big in the future. It has a simple-to-grasp control scheme, fun and accessible gameplay, and even takes more strategy to succeed either solo or on a team than one would expect from a game like this. Sadly, it often feels too bare to spend as much time in it as other options out there.”

“Franchise Hockey Manager 3 isn't a game for everyone. If you're someone who's more into the on-ice action as opposed to the management – no pun intended – then this may not be what you want to play. That being said, those who are already fans of the franchise or want to know more about what a management sim is like need to look no further than Franchise Hockey Manager 3.”
