The final week of the Horizon Race Off dawns in Forza Horizon 5, yet as we prepare to bid farewell, there is a last hoorah in the shape of the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges for Series 32 Spring.
Pull on your wooly pulleys as it is Winter in Mexico, and in the world of Forza Horizon 5 we all know what that means, right? Yep, more weekly Festival Playlist Weekly Challenge shenanigans to keep us entertained and racing hard through Series 32 Winter!
Shadow Man Remastered looks bad, plays poorly and all the rest, but it still has that much needed X factor; that hook that keeps you trying again and again.
It appears that Winter in Mexico isn’t quite the same as it is here in the chilly UK, so Forza Horizon 5’s Weekly Challenges for Series 3 - Winter is subtitled “Dry Season”. What doesn’t change though is the sheer amount of mad stuff that the Playground Games’ guys and gals want us to achieve over the course of the next seven days or so. So here goes with this week's seasonal and series tips installment, helping you get the most from all of the challenges on offer through Forza Horizon 5 - Series 3 - Winter.
So, is Fatesworn a worthy addition to Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning? Absolutely, is my answer. I went straight from a playthrough of the main story into the expansion and the transition felt seamless; integrated into the story perfectly.
If you’re after a bit of arcade score chasing, Gunkid 99 may be right up your alley. Sadly, though, the more you play, the more you may well struggle to care about the fate of the Gunkid.
Battle Brothers is rewarding - at least if you stick at it. But making a save before every battle is very much the way to go. There’s no doubt that there’s a lot to get involved in and there’s a ton of content to enjoy, but the difficulty sits in the mix like a wasp nest at a picnic - sooner or later something is going to sting, and it won’t be pleasant when it does.
Granted, the co-op mode offers a bit of fun, although the language in the game is somewhat fruity to say the least, so you’ll need to pick and choose who you run through this with. All in all though, Breakneck City is a poor game that, frankly, performs badly.
Let’s kick off with the very latest in the series, covering the fun found in Forza Horizon 5’s Season 3 - Summer, taking in the lion mural, the latest Danger Sign jumps and where exactly you'll find the most solar panels to smash...
Apart from the odd minor issue, Archvale has been a pleasure. There’s some real joy in exploring, in meeting and shooting new and strange creatures, and in enjoying the cute and cuddly visual style - even as the same boss stomps you multiple times. If you like bullet hell games, Archvale should certainly be on your radar.
There are some things to like about Tunnel of Doom, as the hybrid of the two game types actually works quite well. The fact that it is different every time you play is a bit of a draw, but to be honest, the tower defence part is the weakest link.
Even knowing nothing about the previous games or the anime series, Record of Lodoss War - Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth is still hugely enjoyable. It is the right kind of hard, with exploration and experimentation combat bringing rewards; so much so that the more you throw into it, the more enjoyable the time you will have.
What I would like to do, with your indulgence of course, is to look back over the last year and check out the best RPGs of 2021. It won’t be in any particular order, it will just be all the games that I think you should play, should you have an RPG shaped hole in your life.
Crazy Trucks is crazy alright, but not in a good way. If you have a regular group of buddies, there is a smidge of fun to be had, but that's mainly down to playing with friends rather than playing the game, to be brutally honest. If you are coming to this as a solo player, I’d give it a miss - the fun on offer here doesn’t really get going, ever.
So, the Bungie 30th Anniversary Pack for Destiny 2 then… is it worth the price of admission, for a game that is free to play? Well, on the whole, I think it is. The new dungeon is so challenging, and Gjallarhorn is so great - even today - that getting it makes Destiny 2 just that little bit better.
Fae Tactics is worth playing. It looks great and plays well, but just seems to be too elongated in length. If you like Tactics type experiences, Fae Tactics is an easy sell. And if you don’t, with the way this is able to ease you into the required mechanics, it's a fairly decent place to start.
Summertime usually brings with it beer gardens, (the occasional day of) sunshine and music festivals. The latter being the chance to forget troubles of the real-world and just exist in a several day long party. But what if you annual pilgrimage to your festival of choice turns sour when say, the uninvited undead come and crash the party? Find out how you would cope in Dead Island 2: SoLA DLC, out now for Xbox, PlayStation and PC.

For those of you who have been living under a rock or deep in the jungle for the last ten years, the Devil May Cry games feature a protagonist called Dante. And this is Dante when he was just effortlessly cool...
