Rocket League

Specs

Genre:Sports / Racing / Soccer

Co-Op:4 Player Online / 4 Player Couch

Controller Support:Full

Alien: Isolation

Top Pro

Excellent atmospheric sound

With minimal music, this game generates much of it's atmosphere from the miscellaneous background noises. The audio generally in the forefront is the titular Alien, which loudly thumps along the ground and through vents. This game also uses directional audio as a tool both for and against the player. It uses it to scare the player, but it simultaneously gives the player more information to survive with. See More

Top Con

Frustratingly difficult at times

Some segments of the game can be frustratingly difficult or even unfair at higher difficulty settings. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Controller Support:Full

Top Pro

Beautiful graphics

Aesthetically, this game nails the look and feel of the original film. Both well optimized and incredibly beautiful, this game is a graphical marvel. See More

Top Con

Unrealistic teleporting alien

The alien will somehow always be somewhat near you no matter how stealthy you are. This does maintain the game's difficulty, but it can seem unfair putting all this work into not getting heard only to have the alien pop out of the nearest vent. See More

Top Pro

Useful tools throughout

The game provides you with many tools and weapons to assist you along the way. Some items you may only find a use for once or twice, but you'll be glad to have them. See More

Top Con

The game progresses slowly, and you can lose interest

The game is too long and quickly loses its charm and tense feelings as the game drags. Too many hours of even the best game can become a chore more than an enjoyable experience. Whats worse is that a bunch of the length is incessant back tracking, which frankly is just a lazy way to prolong a game. See More

Top Pro

Creates a lot of tension

Intelligent A.I. is capable of keeping the game unpredictable. As soon as the Alien starts stalking the player, the game can easily become tense with player never knowing what the Alien will do since the majority of interactions with it are completely unscripted. Especially in VR, you get the feeling like you are actually being hunted. See More

Top Pro

Excellent, nostalgic design

Environmental design very closely resembles Ridley Scott's Alien. It has the same retro design of the computers as well as a chilling soundtrack. It still works well in the modern age too - the 3D is on point, and the designers have gone into detail. If you dare to spend time exploring, it's a very cool experience wandering around a spaceship and looking out into space. See More

Dying Light

Top Pro

Satisfying combat

The combat is impactful, visceral and offers a great deal of variety in terms of available weapons and different enemy types. It presents a reasonable amount of challenge that is rewarding to overcome and offers multiple ways of emerging victorious in each encounter. See More

Top Con

Poor plot and characters

The story is nothing new with many elements that are too familiar at this point. A Reluctant hero and a cold government agent mixed with a plot that can bee seen from miles away points to a lack of imagination while trying to create a game for the masses. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Overwhelmingly Positive

Co-Op:4 Player Online / 4 PLayer LAN

Controller Support:Full

Top Pro

Fluid parkour movement

The main protagonist is capable of scaling buildings, jumping over obstacles and vaulting over zombies with ease making traversing the open world city a lot more enjoyable. See More

Top Pro

Expansive weapon-crafting system

There are blueprints found throughout the gameworld that can be used to modify existing weapons in a wide variety of ways by adding various elements to them and creating weapons such as enemy seeking grenades, exploding throwing stars, and makeshift bats with nails through them. See More

Top Pro

Rewarding side-missions

There's a wide variety of side-quests and a large chunk of them are multi-part adventures with great storytelling. See More

Project Cars

Top Pro

Plays at 1080p and 60fps

The target frames are 60fps and the resolution is at 1080p, though there are dips in frames. See More

Top Con

AI can vary wildly

Even though the player can preset the AI before a race, the AI can still behave in strange manners, some drivers being really aggressive while others too passive. It is a strange mix that can make for some uneven racing. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Controller Support:Partial

Top Pro

Fine tune AI

Users can set what kind of AI they will be racing against per each race, making for a way to make the game easy or difficult depending on mood. See More

Top Pro

Accessible to non sim players

While Project Cars is a hardcore racing sim the game still stays accessible through easy to understand design. See More

Wolfenstein: The New Order

Top Con

Dual wield feels out of place

Using two guns at the same time, while a cool concept does not feel fully fleshed out in this title. It is often cumbersome and does not wield great results in firefights, which asks the question of why it was included. See More

Top Pro

Well written and acted

The story in the game is well fleshed out. It is a fictional story about if the Nazis took over the world after WWII, which is not a new premise, but has so many little touches that really create an immersive story that the player cares about. This is where the animation and voice acting of the game comes into play, with things like subtle eye rolls or twirling of thumbs to inflections in a characters voice. It gives a sense that these people in the story are real and when complimented with a well written plot, it makes for a great experience. See More

Specs

Genre:First-Person Shooter

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition

Top Pro

Great cinematic cutscenes

Beyond Lara's personal story, the overall presentation of the plot is gripping in how cinematic it is. Some of the set pieces are wild, like Lara falling from impossible heights into the sea at the start of the game and managing to survive. The way she thinks herself out of tough situations is also impressive, such as with the way the camera follows her with closeups as she wriggles her way out of traps or takes down enemies who seemingly have the upper hand over her. The direction and acting are similar to those in action movies, telling a grand and intense story. See More

Top Con

No dedicated servers for multiplayer

The multiplayer is peer-to-peer where your connection depends on the quality of one of the people in the lobby, who is the host. This means that you have to deal with lag, rubberbanding, and frequent disconnects when the host's connection is bad. Having dedicated servers could have drastically reduced this problem. See More

Specs

Genre:Third-Person Shooter, Action-Adventure

Top Pro

Stealth sections shine

Instead of going in guns blazing during combat, you can take a strategic, stealthy approach. You have plenty of opportunities to quietly take out bad guys if that's what you'd rather do. You can either rack up carefully-aimed headshots with your bow and arrow, or sneak up behind enemies and choke them out one at a time. Silently traversing tight quarters all while taking everyone out unseen is quite enjoyable. See More

Top Con

Excessive violence and gore

There are times when the violence is way too over-the-top. During cutscenes when Lara gets injured such as by falling and getting brutally impaled, the blood and gore can be extremely uncomfortable. To make it all worse, Lara's screams of pain are bloodcurdling and visceral, really making you feel for her. Even if you're used to violence in games, some of the scenes in Tomb Raider might be difficult to watch. See More

Top Pro

Exciting third-person shooting combat

The combat in Tomb Raider works really well and feels great, challenging you to stay active. You start off with only a bow and arrow, gradually working your way up to guns and bigger weapons like rocket launchers. Shooting with guns or arrows feels satisfying with plenty of feedback, especially the hard kick from the game's many different shotguns. The enemy AI is aggressive without feeling cheap, keeping you moving from place to place as you take down everyone in your path. When an enemy gets too close, you can use whatever Lara's holding in her hand, like her gun or an arrow for a bloody, cinematic finishing move. Combat is fast-paced and fun, constantly keeping you on your toes. See More

Top Con

Generic and predictable finale

The way that the story concludes is disappointing because you can see it coming from a mile away. Throughout the game, you learn a lot about the cool history of the island you're stranded on as you fight for a way to escape and get back to civilization. You might think that the ending lives up to all the historical intrigue in a creative way. Sadly, the finale goes about the way you'd expect it without doing anything new. It's boring and cliche, feeling a lot like a lost opportunity to do something different and unique. See More

Top Pro

Lara Croft's origin story feels authentic

This reboot of Tomb Raider tells a thoughtful, personal story of how Lara Croft became a seasoned explorer. She's wide-eyed and curious at the beginning of the game, growing into a more confident character as the plot progresses. Once she is left to fend for herself on the island she's stranded on, you see her fear and vulnerability over the unknown, and in how she struggles to learn how to hunt and survive. Each of her accomplishments are memorable because of how hard she fights to reach her goals. By the end, you have a full story of how and why Lara transforms into the iconic character many know her as from the previous games. See More

Top Con

Not enough tombs to explore

It's odd that this is a reboot of Tomb Raider without the tombs. There are a handful of tombs here and there, but you won't find the amount that you may expect, especially if you're a fan of the series. The game mostly focuses on the combat and parkour segments without giving you the chance to go raid tombs for unique treasure. More tombs with puzzles to solve would have been nice as a side activity to break up the regular gameplay from story missions. See More

Grand Theft Auto V

Top Pro

Great story wrapped around in biting and relevant social commentary

Grand Theft Auto V is a smart, comical but biting social commentary on contemporary relevant matters. It satirizes almost anything that has to do with the current pop culture. Millennials, celebrities, the right, the left, the middle class, the upper class, the media and even the video game industry itself. The story and the world in which it takes place are fictional, but the social commentary and the problems it raises and things it satirizes are real -- corruption, greed, hypocrisy, the abuse of power -- are all real and relevant in today's world. See More

Top Con

First person view makes driving difficult

Not being able to easily see what one is doing when reversing makes driving somewhat difficult. See More

Specs

Genre:Action-Adventure

Top Pro

Freedom to explore almost anything

Besides providing players with a huge open world, Grand Theft Auto V also gives them the ability and freedom to explore every corner of the map available to them with any vehicle available to them in the game. See More

Top Con

PS4 and PC look better

With slowdown that makes the game dip below 30fps as well as less graphical elements than PS4 and PC the Xbox One version of GTA V is the least appealing option when it comes to the next gen version. See More

Top Pro

Massive scope

The world of Grand Theft Auto V is extraordinarily massive and filled with details. For example, you can be working to complete a mission which may involve flying a plane, fighting the crew of that plane, crashing it, and finally parachuting out of it only to find an off-road buggy landing. This, in turn may lead you to explore the mountains and wilderness around San Andreas and come across backpackers who will probably be slightly annoyed at you. But this does not even come close to describing the massive scope that GTA V has. It feels like a living world where anything can happen. See More

Top Pro

First person mode

Players can now play the entirety of the game in first person, making for the first time the game plays like this and gives a very different feel over the third person view everyone is accustom to. See More

Top Pro

Full game in 1080p

The game runs at a native resolution of 1080p and 30fps. This is a higher resolution over the last gen console versions. See More

Top Pro

More songs over last gen version

An extra 150 songs have been added to the Xbox One version over the 360. See More

Top Pro

Many improvements over PS3 and Xbox 360 version

Including that the game runs at a higher resolution there are also new textures, a better draw distance as well as better water and weather physics. See More

Mad Max

Top Pro

Runs at 1080p

Mad Max runs at 1080p and is capped at 30fps. This allows for no frame drops while playing due to the frames being low already. See More

Top Con

Capped at 30fps

While all of the gameplay takes place in a wasteland, there is no real sense of immediacy as the player is not ever going to starve or run out of water. This can pull the player out of the game due to not being very realistic and is pretty much geared towards keeping the game easy for casual players. Surviving in a wasteland should be tough, sadly it is not that difficult to do here. See More

Specs

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Top Pro

Fun sandbox

The game is based around being an open world sandbox where the player is free to do anything they like. See More

Top Con

No sense of urgency

For a next gen title it is sad to see the game capped at 30fps. This is done in order to allow higher res textures to run in game with more effects, as that also has a high overhead but sadly is at the cost of a better framerate. See More

Top Pro

Vehicle combat is the best part of the game

While there are fighting sections of the game where Max is on foot, the most exciting and fun to play sections are where Max is driving. Having a grappling hook to hook onto enemies while driving is a very fun thing to do as well as using it to pull down buildings and structures and this is just one of the elements of driving that makes all the driving parts stand out. See More

Top Con

Simplistic combat

Just as in other WB games the combat is simple and easy where in the player hits buttons timed with what button ques are flashing above an enemies head. Realistically one could just bash two buttons and make it through the games fights pretty easily. See More

Forza 6

Top Pro

Split screen racing

Two players can finally play on the same TV locally with the addition of split-screen racing. See More

Top Con

Sim settings feel off

Forza 6 has tweaked grip in the game, which causes some odd behaviors like a rolling crash when in a straight away. See More

Specs

Top Pro

Plays at 1080p and 60fps

Racing games, just like fighting games make or break due to their FPS and Forza 6 succeeds in this case due to a stable 60fps that runs at a 1080p resolution. See More

Top Con

Difficulty fluctuates

Some races are too easy while others are extremely too difficult, there is no rhyme or reason as to when any of this happens though. See More

Top Pro

New rain effect

While not dynamic the rain effect in game looks amazing. See More

Top Pro

Way more content over Forza 5

There are many new tracks and events to be found in Forza 6 over the previous title. See More

Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition

Top Pro

Great story that deals with plenty of gray moral issues

The story in Sleeping Dogs is done well, touching on some very human issues. Playing as Wei Shen, an undercover cop, you pretend to join certain gangs in Hong Kong in order to spy on their operations. You're technically not supposed to care about the members of the gangs, but Wei ends up growing close to them, genuinely wanting to help them and be a part of their lives. This conflicts with his role as a police officer, causing him to play both sides while he figures out his priorities and who he's really loyal to. It's an intriguing dynamic that lets you get into Wei's head and his emotions. See More

Top Con

Feels too similar to other sandbox open world games

If you've played a bunch of other open world games in a modern city, then Sleeping Dogs will probably feel too familiar to you. This is fine if you really enjoy these types of games and you're looking for something similar. For anyone else who wants something fresh from the genre, the samey gameplay mechanics, tons of icons dotting the map, and mission structures may end up boring you instead. If you're feeling burnt out from these types of games, you may want to steer clear of this one. See More

Specs

Genre:Action-Adventure

Top Pro

Well-implemented hand-to-hand combat with cool environmental finishing moves

The hand-to-hand fighting system is rock-solid with some neat finishers you can pull off. Punches and kicks are snappy and responsive, with a good amount of weight behind your button presses to really make you feel involved in every fight. You can grab opponents and maneuver them however you want, mainly with guiding them over to the nearest shutter cage, window, the edge of a rooftop on a high building, and so on. Finishing your enemies off with these environmental finishers is tons of fun: you can throw them off a building, ram their head into glass, or slam down a shutter over their heads. It's a brutal spectacle that makes the combat here stand out from other games. See More

Top Con

Unpolished

There are a lot of strange quirks about the game that make it feel and look janky. Controls aren't particularly seamless, with Wei's walking and running animations looking off, and driving animations feeling too loose and unrealistic. Even with the polished graphics for the Definitive Edition, they still look low-effort and low-budget, a lot like the rest of the game. One thing here and there isn't too bad, but adding them all up, they can end up as a bunch of distractions. See More

Top Pro

Really good open world set in Hong Kong

The open world setting is great. Modern-day Hong Kong is pretty unique for a video game, and thankfully it's a true-to-life recreation of what the metropolis looks like. There's a perfect mix of traditional temples, for example, with taller, Western-style glass buildings that you'd find downtown. You can go just about anywhere, whether it's on foot or taking a car for a spin down the roads and highways, with plenty of side quests and mini-objectives to find and complete. It's a good-looking world that's designed well and filled with a good amount of content. See More

Top Con

Not worth it if you already played the original Sleeping Dogs

Aside from the added DLC, there isn't much of an incentive to pick this up if you played the regular Sleeping Dogs. The graphical upgrades are okay, but might not be worth shelling out the extra money. See More

Top Pro

The Definitive Edition has all of the DLC included in one package

Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition comes with everything added to the original game. This is pretty good for new players who have yet to experience Sleeping Dogs at all, or maybe for someone who played the original game years ago and didn't want to buy the DLC. See More

Halo: The Master Chief Collection

Top Pro

Every game other than Halo 2 run at 1080p and 60fps

Three of the four games have 1080p upgrades to them, which is great for those that want to revisit the franchise or who are new to it, to be able to have better clarity and visuals. See More

Top Con

Halo 2 does not run at 1080p

While the rest of the games in the collection run in 1080p, Halo 2 does not as it runs at 1328 by 1080. See More

Specs

Co-Op:Online Multiplayer

Top Pro

Local split screen on all 4 titles

The whole game allows for local split screen multiplayer, something that is a bit of a lost feature nowadays with online play. This makes for a great party game as many users can trade off on controllers per match on one TV. See More

Skylanders: Swap Force

Top Pro

Runs at 1080p and 60fps

Runs at a solid 60fps at 1080p making for a smooth gaming experience. See More

Top Con

Pretty much designed from the ground up to get kids to beg for more toys

The new swappable figures are priced at $15, which can get pricey really quick. What's worse is the game even previews other characters one does not have in order to show kids what they don't have yet, just to get them interested in one toy after another. See More

Top Pro

Ties together real and digital world with toys

It is interesting how the game uses toys to tie into the game as it allows for kids to not only play with toys but also see a digital representation of the toy in game where they can go on adventures with them. See More

Top Pro

Combine halves of characters for new abilities

The top and bottom half of each toy can be swapped with one another in order to trade/gain abilities making for a wide arrangement of possibilities when ones collection of toys is large. See More

FIFA 15

Top Pro

Captures players individuality and emotions

Players react and behave more natural than previous iterations of the game thus giving a more realistic feel to the overall experience. See More

Top Con

Stamina

Players get exhausted quickly as you continue to play, a veiled attempt to get you paying that impacts the fun. See More

Top Pro

Highly replayable

As Fifa is a soccer simulator every match is different, especially if you play online or with friends. See More

Top Con

Commentary still feels off

The commentary is still odd at times as it is easy to tell all recorded reaction were recorded separate and with that does not sound realistic that the commentators are talking to one another as they would in real life. Neither commentator reacts to what the other one is saying, only to comment on what the player is doing, it just feels off and unrealistic. See More

Top Pro

New animations for goalkeepers

In past titles goalkeeper movements were a bit rigid an un-lifelike, with FIFA 15 that has changes as there are now new animations that make their movements look more realistic, giving a more lifelike feel to the game. See More

Top Pro

New team management menus

It is now easier to see what one is doing due to the new menu design of team management as it is more intuitive and has large icons. See More

Destiny

Top Pro

MMO experience

An MMO experience in a FPS game; Bungie has done quite well with making attaining gear and weapons enjoyable through single and multiplayer content. Taken King made the grind much less of a chore and more enjoyable as well, and made the whole leveling process better with refinements to all aspects of the game. See More

Top Con

Imbalanced multiplayer

While stats from gear is equalized during multiplayer, perks from legendary weapons and armor give a real advantage to players who have put in more time. Not a problem that makes it unplayable, but newer players might get frustrated when skill is not the only factor. See More

Top Pro

Created by Bungie, a well known studio for making quality games

Created by the same company that created Halo, this spiritual successor has the familiar feel with some refined game play and the polish and quality you'd expect. The DLC coming out with Taken King has also been good, and expand on the game quite nicely. See More

Top Pro

Combat works very well
