Watch Dogs Legion - fight back the power

Image
Watch Dogs Legion The idea seems sound--instead of playing a traditional protagonist, you recruit a group of heroes out of randomly created, ordinary citizens of London. We've cycled through more characters than we could count in Watch Dogs: Legion, and could not tell you the names, or personal details and customs, of any of them. Watch Dogs: Legion instructs you to recruit the people you brush shoulders with based on their capabilities. There's no 1 player personality" as such in Watch Dogs: Legion. With Watch Dogs: Legion, the key is in the name: you're leading a literal legion in the streets of London against a technical militia, using anyone and everyone to fight back. Like the two games before it, Watch Dogs Legion is a middling experience. Like San Francisco in Watch Dogs 2, Legion's London is a wonderful place to spend time. In Watch Dogs Legion, hacker group DedSec has been framed for a series of terrorist bombings in London, and its members are dead, missi...

FIFA 21 Review: A Rough Diamond

Image
FIFA 21 gameplay FIFA 21 brings welcome attributes to every console game mode (even Career Mode) while creating smart tweaks to the on-pitch gameplay. While ball movement occasionally feels upsettingly artificial--more on the series' wayward physics shortly--there's no denying FIFA 21 plays a better console game of football than last year's entry. FIFA 21 is a great soccer experience for people who don't play these types of games frequently, but the restricted mode selection and the general feel of this console game will leave a lot to be desired for yearly fans. I'm having fun with FIFA 21. EA has made significant improvements to how the game plays on the pitch, additional welcome quality of life tweaks, and given Career Mode - much maligned in last year's console game - a Soccer Manager-inspired makeover. Once you do, you will appreciate the changes EA made. FIFA 21 may not contain any brand new modes or major new features, but by providing substantial changes...

Assassin's Creed Valhalla: engaging story and characters

Image
Assassin's Creed Valhalla comes together on PS5 and really shines in the ARPG zone. Near instant load times together with silky smooth performance make it a joyous open world trip, complete with an engrossing principal story. What is more, the countless bugs that plagued the PS4 edition of the game have, for the most part, been resolved (and quite quick I may say). This is Ubisoft's best ever attempt at an open world RPG in the vein of something like The Witcher 3, and while it's still a bit rough round the edges, Valhalla leaves its mark as a leading tier entry in the Assassin's Creed game series. If you ever wondered how PS5 adventure games should look like, I submit to you Valhalla: the ARPG you always wanted to play. Can you play Assassin's Creed Valhalla on PS4? This is a great game to play on PS5, as well as on PS4. Players get to experiment what is like to be a viking! The combat may take a little getting used to, however. The control scheme was refreshed, ...

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time Review - Insanely fun

Image
There's a level in Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time (which is out now on PS4 and Xbox One) that almost broke my will to go on. It was Cortex Castle, the next-to-last level, which should give you an indication of how far this console game pushed me to the brink. If you are the type of person who wants something relaxing to play after work, or favors the storyline experience within the gameplay experience, this game is a hard sell. But I say that ironically, as a gamer who typically fits into both of those categories, I stuck it out and endured countless losses to my eventual satisfaction. When speaking about Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time we've gotta begin with what jumps right off the screen and hits you : it's visuals. Crash Bandicoot was one of those first icons of the 3D era of gaming. Made famous by a series of hits for the PlayStation One, he went dormant as platforming titles dropped off in popularity. But with a recent resurgence coming together with t...

3 New Games You Should Play

Image
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time Crash Bandicoot 4 retains iconic Crash elements like wumpa collection, zany (often annoying) enemies and key mini-levels to research, while presenting a challenge that will either have you giggling in glee or prepared to throw your controller through your screen. On top of these traditional elements, we also have a range of new features which add a modernity to the gameplay, such as rail-grinding, controlled camera freedom, Quantum masks that grant unique skills, and the opportunity to play as other characters. It's a wonderful change from just running, jumping and turning. Mastering timing has always been a part of the Crash formula, but these new mechanisms add an additional layer to the mix, which makes these sequences a lot more complex. They also add a puzzle-like quality to the standard platforming Crash has ever been about. I love this game and I hope to see it on the new generation consoles - PS5 and Xbox Series X. I'm sure you wi...
