Review Star Wars Outlaws (PS5) - Open World Pledge Produces a Superficial Space Outing
Villainous to the end
Star Wars Outlaws has been billed as the first-ever open world game set in the Star Wars universe; a claim that immediately puts developer Massive Entertainment on the back foot. Ignoring the fact Star Wars Galaxies did it first over two decades ago, it opens the game up to an extra layer of scrutiny: is it even open world in...
Review Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (PS5) - A World We Don't Want to Leave
Pandora Hunting Simulator
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a game this writer has been waiting a long time for. In many ways, it is the Hogwarts Legacy for fans of big blue folk and vibrant alien worlds. But with that apt comparison and Ubisoft Massive at the helm, does it do enough to stand on its own two feet? Or is it nothing more than a pretty...
Review The Division 2: Warlords of New York - Glitchy Expansion Is More of the Same
Press F to pay respects
It's been quite the fall from grace for The Division 2. After launching a year ago to widespread praise, the looter shooter all but disappeared off the face of the earth over the summer months as developer Massive Entertainment struggled to keep fans engaged with lacking content drops and controversial patches. Three minor...
Review The Division 2 - With a Few Tweaks, This Could Be Something Special
Land of the free hit
The Division 2 is a good, solid looter shooter. At points, it's a fantastic looter shooter, but at the time of writing, it has just a handful of notable issues holding it back. Ideally, a game releases with no problems whatsoever, but in this age of live services, regular content updates, and feedback-based patches, expectations...
Mind the gap
We still haven’t quite concluded what makes the “work simulator” sub-genre so compelling, but Train Sim World definitely taps into it. Like the early days of Farming Simulator, this game’s obsessive adherence to protocol and attention to detail makes it an experience we’ve found strangely compulsive – even if we’ve spent...
Review Tom Clancy's The Division (PS4)
Flu York, Flu York
In The Division it's amazing how quickly society goes to pieces. Admittedly, a genetically engineered super virus that manages to wipe out a large swathe of New York's population seems a reasonable catalyst, but you would have thought that it would have taken more than a few weeks for things to get as messed up as this. Anyhow, in...

E3 2016 The Division Is at Its Darkest with the Survival Expansion
The last of us
While we've already gotten one look at the first expansion for Tom Clancy's The Division with Underground today, there's at least something new to chew on with a cinematic trailer for the newly revealed Survival. If the embedded trailer is supposed to be any indication of what gameplay will be like, expect to be low on ammo and...
E3 2016 The Division's Next Expansion Underground Gets a Short Showcase
Going subterranean
Tom Clancy's The Division has been rather tame in terms of updates and new content of late, so it's nice that we get to see some more footage of its upcoming expansion, Underground, in a new trailer that was shown off during Microsoft's conference. There honestly aren't that many exciting or new elements that we can make out, but...
