Dirt 5 Review

Thu, 19 Nov 2020 07:15:00 GMT

Reviewed by Luke Reilly on Xbox Series X. Also available on PlayStation 4/5, PC, and Xbox. "Dirt 5 represents a complete about-face for the main Dirt series, shedding virtually all semblance of simulation in favour of an unabashed, arcade-inspired racing experience that draws from just about every influence you can name except its direct predecessor. It's not especially deep, and there isn't as much variety in the career mode as it claims, but it's fast, frantic, and extremely handsome, and the wild and wacky stunt track editor truly has its hooks in me."Reviewed by Luke Reilly on Xbox Series X.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Review

Wed, 18 Nov 2020 14:00:00 GMT

Reviewed by Cam Shea on Nintendo Switch. "Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity offers a welcome trip back to a world I've clocked hundreds of hours in, set in a time we've only heard discussed in hushed tones. Its hugely varied roster of characters, solid combat mechanics, fun progression and clever adaptation of Breath of the Wild's vision of Hyrule is a joy to play and discover. While there are some missed characterisation opportunities, Age of Calamity remains a blast from start to finish."Reviewed by Cam Shea on Nintendo Switch.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - Campaign Review

Fri, 13 Nov 2020 05:00:00 GMT

Reviewed on PC by Ryan McCaffrey. Cold War is a direct sequel to the classic Black Ops 1 campaign set in 1981, and it's a good campaign that doesn't quite hit the high story marks of the original Black Ops.

Monster Truck Championship Review

Tue, 10 Nov 2020 07:17:00 GMT

Reviewed on Xbox One by Luke Reilly. Also available on PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch. "Eschewing the physics-defying arcade chaos of its officially-licensed rival in favour of something a little more grounded and authentic has made Monster Truck Championship a unique and worthwhile motorsports sim unlike any other this generation, but there are definitely a few caveats. Monster Truck Championship has a great driving feel and a fun and nuanced stunt system, but there isn't really a great sense of progression in the slim career mode and it's hamstrung by some noticeable graphical shortcomings."Reviewed on Xbox One by Luke Reilly.
