GT7 is one of the best racing games I have played to date, with excellent car handling and plenty of content. The visuals are a little inconsistent and there should never have been microtransactions added, but these flaws don't change the fact that this is an excellent game.

The bar for Sonic is LOW when a game like this is put on a pedestal. Expected this game to be on the same level of quality as Generations based on what I had previously heard about the game and yet I had to force myself to finish it. Dreadful story, mediocre level design, over reliance on gimmicks, too many 2D sections, poor physics and a forgettable sound track hold this game back from being anything close to great.

Fortnite has cemented itself as the best battle royale game to date and proven that the genre is here to stay, for better or worse.

Another mediocre 3D Sonic game, please Sega just get a new developer for this franchise already. Even the director has admitted the game wasn't finished but they released it anyway.

This game is one that everyone should experience, even if it is held back by a terrible camera system and clunky controls.

A pathetic update to a dead game that is simply being presented as a sequel for marketing purposes, it still has the likeable characters, visuals and music that the original had but to say that this game has gone stale would be a massive understatement.

Apex is easily the best battle royale game available today with satisfying gunplay, a cast of interesting characters and solid map design. Edit: Updated my score to an 8 as the servers are garbage and constant 2 man squads makes solo queue unplayable.

An overpriced unnecessary remake **** that already received not only a remaster but a 4K update that can be played on PS4 Pro and PS5. TLOU was already overrated to begin with but anyone praising and supporting remakes like this is only doing harm to the videogame industry and encouraging developers to be lazy and uninspired.

One of the strongest PlayStation titles in recent years, the visuals are excellent, the art direction is well executed, voice acting is solid, gameplay incredibly satisfying and the story is interesting from start to finish. If you have a PS or a PC you owe it to yourself to try this game out.

This game had a lot of potential, a unique artstyle, a likeable protagonist and a very cool gameplay concept that provides a fresh experience. However this game’s potential is completely eliminated by awful controls, a camera system that is constantly fighting against you and a mediocre story.

One of the best games on the Switch, beautiful visuals, cool new features and countless hours of enjoyment.

Team Sonic Racing might not be able to stand up against Mario Kart but it still offers an enjoyable racing experience with plenty of nostalgia for fans of the series.

One of the best gaming experiences I have ever had and now my favourite Final Fantasy game, they went above and beyond what people asked for in this remake and decided to take the story in a direction that is very risky but very well executed. If you are a fan of Final Fantasy or RPGs in general you owe it to yourself to play this game.

With all the dlc included, FF XV is a lot less unfinished than what it was at launch. Unfortunately this can't fix the empty open world, the one dimensional characters and the poor writing. Thankfully this game offers great visuals and decent combat which keeps the experience enjoyable for the most part.

Beautiful visuals and captivating music really make Abzu a game worth experiencing, its gameplay is pretty barebones and its length is very short which holds the game back but if you can get it for a discounted price it is definitely worth checking out.

Detroit Become Human does an excellent job of portraying an immersive sci-fi world with interesting characters and fairly decent writing overall. Choices have a big impact on your progress in the game and can really make or break your experience keeping you glued to the screen from start to finish. The only real issues this ‘game’ has are a lack of gameplay and some pacing problems. Definitely worth trying out especially if you are interested in playing what is essentially an interactive movie/tv-show.

Astro’s Playroom is a great love-letter to anyone who is a fan of PlayStation. It not only reflects on the past but also does an excellent job of showcasing the future as it takes full advantage of the dualsense’s new features that breathe new life into a game that would otherwise be quite simple on paper. Anyone that gets a PS5 needs to try this game out.

Fall Guys benefits greatly from its colourful and unique art style and offers plenty of fun with its diverse set of minigames however the lack of replayability and over-reliance on RNG holds the game back from being a long-term success.

A well rounded shooter with fun gunplay and some interesting ideas but although it is 'good' in many areas it's far from 'excellent'. The visuals are a mixed bag with the game sometimes looking great and othertimes looking like an early Xbox 360 game. The PC port of the game also isn't perfect with delayed input and weird bugs when using a dual monitor setup. I also think that despite the story being interesting it could greatly benefit from better writing and more interesting characters. For the price today the game is worth checking out but if you are someone that plays lots of shooters you might feel a little underwhelmed.

Splitgate does a pretty good job of taking ideas from existing franchises and combining them but offers very little when it comes to bringing anything new to the table. The maps are a mixed bag and the gunplay is fairly satisfying but doesn't offer the same level of fun or depth that can be found in other shooters. If the idea of a Halo and Portal mashup sounds interesting to you then definitely check this game out but it's very likely that you will find yourself wanting more from this free-to-play shooter.

Valorant has a lot of the same issues that it's sibling League of Legends has but that doesn't change the fact that it is a highly polished fps with a lot of potential for the future. The game has interesting characters, deeply satisfying gunplay and excellent weapon balancing that provides a pretty solid experience overall. I just hope that Riot can manage to maintain long-term support for this game at the same level as their main IP.

A great game that just got even greater. Also, review bombing is cringe :)

Actual bots giving this rubbish 10/10 review scores, this game is already one of the worst games of the generation. Avoid it at all costs.

Final Fantasy XV had the potential to be one of the greatest games in the series, but sadly the execution of its story and gameplay really hold it back along with its troubled development. The visuals and music are fantastic, as to be expected from a Final Fantasy game, and the relationship between the main characters really makes the experience feel like going on an adventure with friends. The gameplay is fun but lacks depth and polish, with it often feeling like an underwhelming hack and slash game, however it is still fun and often very satisfying. The story is interesting but in my opinion fails to deliver due to it being separated into different forms of media including the game, movie and anime and it also suffers from one dimensional characters. The world is also quite one dimensional, with little to discover and countless invisible walls throughout the 'open world' that can be quite annoying at times. Overall, I wanted this game to be so much more. Its fine the way it is, but its simply unfinished and had the potential to be so much greater.

Simply a fantastic shooter with great visuals, gunplay and atmosphere even despite its weak story.

A great remaster of a fantastic game, the game has stunning visuals and excellent gunplay with a very interesting world. The story is a little weak and the AI can be very dumb at times but overall it's a great game that still holds up well.

Similar to its predecessor, Doom Eternal offers a great fps experience with satisfying gunplay, fantastic visuals and a great soundtrack. The story has been improved over Doom (2016) and the gameplay expanded allowing Doom Eternal to sit beside its predecessor as the two best first person shooters of the generation. However the game isn’t perfect due to certain game design choices. Platforming plays a much bigger role this time around however it feels very lackluster, the game is also much more punishing in relation to health and ammo which breaks the flow of the game sometimes and there are also minor annoyances that I have including the marauder enemy type which is a chore to defeat as well as fps drops when running against certain walls. Overall its a great game that is pretty much on par with the previous game and is definitely worth picking up.

Titanfall 2 expands upon everything from Titanfall 1, bringing new ideas to the table and adding a short and sweet campaign that is very enjoyable.

After going in with low expectations I was surprised to find that Call of Duty WWII is actually a decent game. The single player campaign is solid, with some missions being excellent and others being quite forgettable. This is one of the few Call of Duty games where I found myself actually getting immersed in the setting, which is largely due to the game's excellent visuals and character animations. The multiplayer is very 'standard', even for a Call of Duty game, with a hub world that is pointless and microtransactions/lootboxes that are shoved in your face. Nothing about the multiplayer is 'new' which makes it feel a little underwhelming and boring. The zombies mode is decent but definitely not the best in the series by any means. Overall, I feel that this game is well put together but it definitely comes across as unoriginal and generic, however I still feel its worth experiencing for anyone that likes WWII settings and if you are a big fan of the franchise then you will likely enjoy what the game has to offer.

Infinity Ward does a pretty solid job at remastering one of Call of Duty's most iconic games in the franchise, however the game never got to succeed as the company forced players to purchase Infinite Warfare in order to play it and the multiplayer quickly died as a result. If you buy this game you are only going to be able to play the campaign, however it is still a decent game regardless.

Resident Evil 3 is very short and sweet, and for me that is what I needed when I decided to try this game out. Visually, the game is stunning with interesting environments, nice character designs and well animated in-game cutscenes. There is a nice balance of horror and action, and the game keeps you on your toes from start to finish constantly throwing in new things whether its a new enemy type, a new weapon or a new place to visit. The only real issue I have with RE3 is the lack of content, if you are only interested in the single player (which applies to most people) then you are looking at essentially a 5 hour game which is a little disappointing. I hope that in the future that RE never has a game this short again, however the content that is there is still worth experiencing. I look forward to what RE has in store for the future.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn does a good job at learning from the mistakes of its former version, with an interesting world with plenty of things to see and do. However, the game has more filler content than any Final Fantasy game to date, with the vast majority of A Realm Reborn's content consisting of boring fetch quests. If you want to feel like a delivery driver or a messenger, then you will absolutely love this game. The music is fantastic and visually the game is decent, but the main thing holding back A Realm Reborn is simply the fact that the content in the base game is very repetitive and uninteresting. Thankfully, Square Enix knows this and has learned from it with the Final Fantasy XIV expansions being significantly better with content that is much more interesting and enjoyable. Do not be put off by A Realm Reborn, force your way through it and enjoy the expansions that follow.

Man is this game overrated, it might have been incredible when it released but by today's standards the game is really mediocre. The visuals are fine, the music is decent, the voice acting is mediocre and the level design is painfully boring. You walk through countless hallways (many of which are copy and pasted) and the gameplay doesn't have the satisfaction of recent first person shooters. I wouldn't recommend the game to anyone unless you feel the need to 'catch-up' with all the Halo games before Infinite comes out.

One of the best Pokemon games to date, plenty of content for a Pokemon game and its fun to play from start to finish.

One of the best Pokemon games to date, very fun and plenty of content for a Pokemon game.

Destiny 1.5 - It learns nothing from the mistakes of its predecessor and continues to be a shallow first person shooter that is all flash and no substance. The visuals and music are fantastic, with the world of Destiny continuing to be interesting yet lacking, and the game is mind-numbingly repetitive like the first game. The story is mediocre yet again and you'll have experienced all the game has to offer within the first two days of playing, including its underwhelming pvp. Destiny will continue to be a barebones franchise that milks as much money from the consumer that it can, what a shame.

A bland and uninteresting game with only its setting making it remotely enjoyable. The gameplay is incredibly repetitive and uninspired, the characters are two-dimensional and very forgettable and the whole concept is just so bland nevermind the clunky driving. This game is just so painfully average it boggles my mind that this game has such good reception.

Playstation All-Stars might not have been able to compete with the likes of Smash Bros but it's a solid fighting game with plenty of fun to offer even with its lack of content. If they learn from their mistakes with this game I would love to see a sequel someday with the same ambition as Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

Probably the most shallow and uninspired Sonic game to date, Sonic Team evidently have no idea whatsoever what to do with the Sonic franchise and somehow managed to take the almost perfected boost formula and ruin it. Classic sonic is also a chore to play, the only decent part of the game is the character creator which is fun and could be good if used in a game that is actually fun to play. The Switch version of this game is also by far the worst with a 720p resolution and 30 fps on a game that isn't even very demanding. Save your money and buy Sonic Mania Plus.

League of Legends gets so many things right, from the wide range of interesting and likeable characters to the satisfying and rewarding gameplay, however the experience is held back by its toxic community, lack of game modes and very poor champion balancing.

An old school fps redesigned for a newer generation, Doom is simply fantastic. The gunplay, graphics, art direction and music allow Doom to resonate with gamers today whilst also standing out from the competition and creating a memorable experience. The single player is excellent, the PC port is great and the bosses in the game are really fun. The areas I would like to see a bit of improvement in for the next game are the story which is a little too simplistic with a lack of interesting characters and the multiplayer which feels very underwhelming in comparison to other shooters.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 is an incomprehensible mess, with a story that is very convoluted and the same mediocre FF XIII gameplay with annoyances being added such as quick time events and random encounters. The battles have been made ridiculously easy in this sequel too which makes the game boring and completely unsatisfying to play. It should be noted that the game has great art direction, character designs and music like its predecessor and doesn't suffer from the 'hallway simulator' feeling that XIII had however the story is just so difficult to follow with gameplay that is so mediocre that it just feels like a chore to play nevermind the laughably bad PC port that has countless issues. I won't be playing Lightning Returns after this experience.

I really wanted to like Final Fantasy XIII and tried my best to go in with an open mind despite the numerous negative opinions I had heard about this game, but man does this game have problems especially the PC version. Visually the game is stunning, and holds up well in 2020 over 10 years after the game's initial release. The character designs are great and the art direction is excellent, with gorgeous CGI cutscenes too. The audio in the game is also great, with some incredible music such as 'Atonement' among other memorable songs that can sometimes be 'too good' that they actually overpower what is happening on screen. The audio in general is great and helps make the combat more satisfying. When it comes to the actual gameplay, Final Fantasy XIII is perfectly 'fine'. The combat is pretty fun, but the games level design is incredibly linear making the game feel a little tedious/repetitive and will definitely break the game for many people. The story, is where Final Fantasy XIII really ruins the experience for me personally, with a narrative that is so disjointed and melodramatic that it feels like I am watching a cringey mediocre anime. The protagonist Lightning, isn't very likeable and the cast in general are a mixed bag. The plot is also a little nonsensical, difficult to follow and has plot holes. Half the time I didn't even know what my objective was. Overall, Final Fantasy XIII is mediocre plain and simple. Its not necessarily a bad game, but its not a good game either. I should also mention that the PC version of this game ****, like it really ****. It suffers from multiple issues like stutter, frame rate issues, controller problems and many bugs.

Pokemon Sword & Shield are by far the weakest mainline Pokemon games in years, just a bit of context: Gamefreak lied to the fanbase, claiming that they needed to remove over HALF of the Pokemon in order to ‘improve animations’ when in reality the animations are ripped right from the 3DS games. The annual releases are killing this franchise nevermind the mediocre graphics, laughable animations, noticeable pop in, EXP share being mandatory making the games even easier than usual when the Pokemon games are already too easy, the game also only takes 15 hours to beat and has practically 0 post game. Do not support Gamefreak with these half assed efforts. They even removed Aipom wtf???

What a complete disappointment. Finally got around to playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider just recently as I wanted to wait until I got my new computer to play the game. So here are my thoughts: Graphics: A massive mixed bag, the in game cut scenes look fantastic as well as the lighting and overall the game looks pretty solid, however sometimes the game is just downright ugly with washed out colours, characters looking clay-like and the game often looking pixelated especially background scenery. Gameplay: Very similar to Rise of the Tomb Raider, except Rise of the Tomb Raider took what was good about its predecessor and improved upon it. Shadow does the opposite of this with few additions to the Rise gameplay and the game just feels so much clunkier than Rise as well as being frustrating at times with quick time events and bad level design with the game feeling incredibly linear. The game also punishes you for going stealth with the bow being practically useless since most enemies take multiple hits to kill regardless of headshots, better off going guns blazing like Uncharted. Story: It ****, the devs clearly didn't care about the story so why should I? Cookie cutter two dimensional characters that are picked up and dropped like a rock, peoples motivations aren't explained and Lara is the only character that is likeable (just barely) Audio: The music is pretty decent, however the audio will cut out at times and the lip syncing will also go out of sync from time to time. Overall: To sum up, the game is noticeably worse than its predecessors. The game is too linear and holds your hand tightly with incredibly uninspired level design. It looks pretty good visually (for the most), the gameplay is fine (even though its forgettable) and the story, well you won't remember it after a day. Sadly the game is just mediocre, maybe pick it up in a couple of years during a Steam sale for $5? Almost forgot to mention, the game has quite a few bugs including visual bugs, audio bugs and gameplay bugs that require you to reload from the last checkpoint. Have fun :) Edit: Also realised I missed an entire scene (the cool scene where she rises from the water with flames etc) as the game just skipped it, the scene just didn't happen it cut past it, just another bug worth pointing out.

For a PS2 game, it holds up surprisingly well. A diverse cast of interesting characters, a turn based battle system that has a lot of depth, excellent music and nice scenery. The story also keeps you on your toes with some fantastic CGI cutscenes. It does have its flaws though with Tidus being a mediocre protagonist despite his nice character design, the voice acting is a mixed bag with some characters sounding good and others sounding like they came from an abysmal anime dub, some of the decision making in the game is odd and some of the characters can be downrightfrustrating at times such as Wakka whose bible-thumping gets really annoying overtime. The difficulty in the game is also very bipolar and the sphere trials shouldn't be in the game period. I think this is a game worth experiencing for anyone who likes Final Fantasy or JRPGs, if you don't like either then better off avoiding the game.

Despite having gorgeous graphics and nice music, Super Kirby Clash is as shallow as free to play games get. With repetitive, uninspired levels and almost zero depth you have pretty much experienced the entire game within the first 5 minutes. As a free to play game, its okay. Not something I would necessarily call ‘bad’ but not something I will play for more than 2 days either.

A great conclusion to the stories of both Altair and Ezio, the visuals hold up well (for the most part), the gameplay is very similar to Brotherhood with a few cool additions and the game held my interest from start to finish after roughly 20 hours of gameplay. Its the same old Assassin's Creed we know and love and stands tall alongside Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood. The only things I don't really like about the game are that it lacks originality/creativity as well as the Desmond missions being ResidentSleeper as well as the Lost Archive dlc. They have a cool concept but are executed in a way that makes them incredibly boring and underwhelming, just basic puzzles (if you can even call them puzzles) that are done in a first person view to try and make them seem more interesting than what they actually are. Some of the characters also could have used more character development/back story.

There are a lot of things to love about Portal 2, the voice acting is fantastic, the writing is genuinely funny, the game has a lot of creativity and well executed ideas as well as the very interesting setting of the game. I will admit though, that the game seriously drags on during the last third of the game and starts to feel very repetitive. Still a great game though that should be in everyone's Steam library.
