Yes the World Cup is over, but the party is really starting now with Forza Horizon 5’s Series 5 - Summer challenges. Want us to help you navigate your way through the madness? We’ve got you sorted with helpful hints, tips and tunes which will ensure you nail the weekly challenges easily.
Apart from the summoning issue that is found when attempting to play with others, Elden Ring is a triumph. It looks great, it plays like a dream and it provides a world in which you can spend hours, just wandering about, picking fights.
Summing up Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires is tricky. While the fighting action is as spectacular as it ever was, and still remains fun, the management side of things just seems to slow everything down. It feels like a slog and you’ll want for nothing but the next battle. Basically the battles are good, but the rest of Dynasty Warriors 9 Empires is poor.
Spring has sprung in Forza Horizon 5 and as the Series 4 challenge set begins to wind down, one last set of tasks await all drivers. Need a hand to get through the challenges on offer in Series 4 - Spring? We’ve got you sorted.
The time has finally come Guardians: Savathûn is finally going to show us her true power. With the launch of The Witch Queen expansion, Bungie is preparing to turn Destiny 2 up to 11, and start to bring to a close the whole Light/Dark story arc that has been going on almost since Destiny 1. Oh, and Numskull Designs have created a rather gorgeous statue too.
The action on offer in The King of Fighters XV is fast, furious, nicely polished and very addictive indeed. Finding a team that suits your playstyle is good fun, building your own team is rewarding, and with a deep and quite accessible fighting system to get to grips with, it’s well worth playing.
Mushroom Wars 2 is a pretty good single player RTS, however if you want to make the most of the multiplayer side of things, you’ll be wanting to drag some friends along for the ride.
Winter is coming and in Forza Horizon 5 that means a host of new weekly challenges are on the table. Series 4 - Winter does however place focus on the Italian and French variety of vehicle and so the opportunity to go racing in a Lambo, Ferrari or little Renault 5 Turbo is up for grabs. It’s with these where we’ll place our efforts for the Weekly Challenge Guide covering Series 4 - Winter.
Coming from Spiderling Studios is a new game by the name of Besiege Console. Billed as a “physics based building game”, immediately alarm bells began to go off in my mind.
PowerSlave Exhumed is one of those game remakes done right. It preserves everything that was great about the original, adds some graphical bells and whistles, and lets the kids of today see what games were like for us old folk growing up.
When it comes to writing these retrospective Looking Back-type articles, every so often the stars align and a game is released that fits the spirit of its release day perfectly. Launching on Valentine's Day 2017, what could be more romantic and lovey-dovey than a new entry in the Sniper Elite series, the fourth one to be precise?
I can’t help but feel somewhat let down by Bassmaster Fishing 2022’s Predator Equipment Pack. The new rods, reels and lures are forgettable, the way the boat and the character you control look is meaningless to many, and all in all it just feels less than substantial.
I have no hesitation in recommending Edge of Eternity. It is a huge game, but more importantly, it has an epic story to be told. The combat system has some nice touches which keeps it fresh, and the crafting is deep and immersive. This is a game that many will be playing for days and weeks on end, with Midgar Studios needing praise for creating something special.
Calturin is however a hard game that is largely fair, and so the pull to have one more go is pretty strong. Yes, even for a cheap price it’s got that elusive gaming X-factor; a dash of it thrown into the mix. If you want a challenge, this is an interesting proposal.
Inescapable: No Rules, No Rescue isn’t a bad game, it’s just that others of a similar ilk, like Danganronpa, do the social thriller visual novel concept much better.
