I spent Horizon 4 collecting and customizing cars for hours, and I was always wondering how Playground Games could possibly top the last game. I was completely wrong. Every scene from the introduction showcases the beautiful, varied scenery of Mexico and reminds you how Forza Horizon 5 is meant literally for the joy of driving. Feeling Small and Truly Alive Horizon 5's map is blatantly beautiful, dynamic, and huge, not to mention impressive and humbling. The La Gran Caldera volcano almost made me feel like I was on another planet as I carved my way to its peak. Racing down the volcano, I spotted the shimmering, desert heat; lush jungles to the horizon; and even a distant coastline. Accolades: A New Way to Celebrate Your Wins Accolades have been one of the biggest changes made to the Forza Horizon 5 game. Driving through a mountain pass while perfectly drifting or breaking a record at a speed trap pass is a record-deserving accolade. The most valua...

The Festival Lives On Forza Horizon 5 doesn’t just open with a bang; it invites you to a vibrant symphony of speed, sound, and stunning landscapes. Set in a meticulously crafted Mexico, this isn’t just a new map—it’s an adventure that feels alive with its towering volcanoes, dense jungles, and sleepy desert towns. But it’s more than just a geographical upgrade; it’s an evolution of everything Playground Games has been perfecting for years. As someone who’s lived for the pulse-pounding thrill of Forza Horizon 4 ’s competitive online races, Horizon 5 is a revelation. It still gets your heart racing, but this time, it does so while making room for players to experiment, create, and connect without the stress of ranked leaderboards looming over your head. Multiplayer, But Without the Pressure One of the biggest changes to Forza Horizon’s multiplayer is the shift away from ranked play. No more getting frustrated by someone ramming into you mid-turn or watching your hard-ea...

The Weight of Expectations Gearbox faced numerous challenges in the making of Borderlands 4. Given the polarizing opinions surrounding Borderlands 3, it is apparent that Borderlands 4 has adopted a more cautious approach. The first several hours of gameplay showcase the new world with refined gunplay, new loot, and expanded gameplay mechanics. Regardless, players may be under the impression that the content was toned down. Certainly, the fun is present, with the shooting, the weapons, and the game-play mechanics remaining unchanged. The delight in opening the chests and watching the loot explode is present, but with the amount of content available, it is strangely lacking the soul that has characterized the series in the past. If Borderlands 3 was too loud, too eager to please, too desperate to prove itself edgy and relevant, then Borderlands 4 swings so far in the opposite direction that it risks losing what made the franchise special in the first place....

After enjoying the open world in Assassin's Creed Shadows for a few hours, parkour is the one thing that sticks in my mind the most long after finishing the missions. Having a feature that once defined the series, parkour became the most essential and favorite part of Assassin's Creed gameplay. It was what made the world feel responsive and rhythmic; the joy of finding a creative route across the rooftops was something else. Regrettably, Shadows continues the series' diminishing return on this. It doesn’t completely fail, but it also doesn’t quite succeed. What is left is a system that feels functional, even sometimes stunning, but it is also lacking. The first trailers for Shadows built anticipation for feudal Japan. The environments looked diverse and built for conquest; layered rooftops and tiered castles provided plenty of passage and vertical integration. As I climbed my first Japanese castle wall, I felt the nostalgic connection with the archit...

Having finished my first full playthrough of Assassin’s Creed: Origins, I find myself admiring Ubisoft’s creativity, being an advanced rebuild of the series, while at the same time being critical of all the series values they lost in the process. It’s breathtaking and ambitious, but at times, I did find myself lost in the sheer scale and not in how I felt being an assassin. Having come off Syndicate, which felt as though the traditional formula had been polished and perfected, I was taken by how much Origins felt like a separate franchise, although I recognize why Ubisoft might want to distance it from the franchise. It feels like an answer to franchise fatigue, and while I agree with much of its vision around modernizing the franchise, I would argue it’s lost the chic and clarity of focus that made the series so stellar. The World and Presentation Let’s start with the obvious: Egypt is mind-boggling. Ubisoft artists have made one of the best game worlds. The game map made the deser...

For the last week, I have been immersed in the world of Assassin’s Creed Shadows . I have been quietly enjoying the game, focusing on the tall grass, takip patrol routes, and rudimentary stalking. I have stopped to admire the ephemeral beauty of the evening light on the leaves of feudal Japan.  I would rate Shadows a 7/10. When the game delivers, it shines and becomes a game to remember. Sneaking within the striking landscapes of Shadows is a game-kernel experience, but it is additionally challenged by the unmodernized systems that have yet to rekindle the elusive stealth of the original titles in the series, leaving the game unpolished. The Good The biggest win for Assassin's Creed Shadows is its commitment to stealth. Playing as Naoe feels like a return to form, at least partially. I enjoyed lying prone in tall grass, using a torch to manipulate lighting, and slipping past guards under the cover of night. These activities felt like evolutions...
