Late Review“One of the best multiplayer games available on current platforms gets even better with no loading times, a 4K resolution and all DLC stuffed into one delightful package.”

Late Review“There's not really many ways of sugar coating it; this game is a mess on Xbox One and isn't worth your time. Surely any other fishing game would be worth considering if you have that urge.”

Launch Window“It's a little janky at times and the interface a bit cumbersome, but at its core it's a brilliantly entertaining game that knows what it wants to be, and achieves it well.”

Late Review“There's a core gameplay loop that could have some substance, but it's surrounded by a confused interface, a simply awful tutorial, with surface-level complexity that needn't exist.”

Launch Window“Newcomers to the series are very much recommended to plump for this collection, it's got everything you need and the story is excellent. Otherwise, it's probably not worth shelling out to buy everything again.”

Late Review“It's one of those games that's alright for a couple of hours if you can get it at a deep discount. Otherwise, it's just too frustrating to recommend.”

Launch Window“If you enjoy long track races, and want a new challenge, ETRC is almost certainly that. However, if that's not your thing, there is nothing this game does that will lure you over.”

Late Review“There's a really good core game here, but it's let down by the overall presentation. If you enjoy snooker though, you can easily look past this to enjoy it for what it is.”

Late Review“Unless you're a die-hard point and click aficionado, it's difficult to recommend this adventure. One thing is for certain though: It's not worth its RRP of £24.99.”

Late Review“It's not even worth your thought time, never mind anything else.”
“It's nothing more than a concept game for the developers, but I could have given it a higher score if it gave me a laugh. But it didn't. Just pretend you never even read this review and carry on with your life.”

Late Review“Highly polished and with beautiful presentation, this futuristic parkour-inspired game is a true unique take on the genre – not something that can be said often. If you like Wipeout, you will definitely enjoy this.”

Late Review“It does its job well as a Gundam-style mech shooter, but it just doesn't do quite enough to keep me going back in for more action. The majority of levels are just “go here, shoot this, follow that”, which unfortunately gets very repetitive after a couple of hours. There's a lot you can do with customisation, though.”

Launch Window“It's absolutely crazy, off the wall, batshit insane. It is basically just Happy Wheels but in 3D, bundled with all the gore, characters and “charm”. If you can even call it charm. Sadistic charm is probably better.”

Late Review“Corpse Mob is an honest game. It's a top-down arcade shooter for you to have a bit of fun in – no more, no less. Of course it'd be improved with online multiplayer support, and perhaps a bit more variation in between the waves, but then I expect it wouldn't cost less than £2.”

Late Review“If you're a veteran strategy guy up for a challenge, then The Spatials: Galactology could be right up your street. Otherwise, it's a hard sell. Some of the issues make me think that it might have benefitted from a little longer in Early Access.”

Late Review“Supposedly Wonderful Future has left me considering the events of the game, and whether my moral choices make me a monster or a model citizen. It doesn't really do much wrong, but if you didn't like point-and-click games with a heavy amount of text before, you won't enjoy them after, either.”

Launch Window“A fitting final DLC pack for Battlefield 1, with three great new maps and more unlockables to keep you busy. Air Assault may not be my cup of tea, but for those who are more adept than me in the air, it will provide a nice quick alternative to battling on land.”
2/22/2018
Late Review“The positives far outweigh any negatives here, with the occasional breaking of the fourth wall, cinema and game references providing lighter tones throughout.”
