If you liked forza horizon 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1, you'll enjoy this. It's an upgraded iteration of the previous games with a different map. The map is incredibly fun to drive around and has a lot more elevation changes and diversity of areas compared to 5. Whilst it may make absolutely no sense having a mountain that close to Tokyo city, it makes for incredibly fun gameplay.

As always the car collection is incredible and with the festival playlist updating weekly it will only bring more cars. Whilst the total number is not yet as high as 5's, it will surpass it at some point. There's a few cars missing, a notable one being the Mclaren Senna which I'm sad to see but with so many other cars in the game, it's not noticeable.

The addition of the time attack circuits (and now drift) is a fun addition and gives a lot more replay ability with you trying to get the best time possible. The lack of loading screens to do that is what really helps to build the immersion and if I'm bored, I find that I'll load up this game and do some laps around time attack circuits. They also added car meets which whilst a great feature in theory, is lackluster in practice with few people interacting with them meaning that often if you want to go to one, unless there's a challenge to do so, then they'll be empty. If people are there, there's not a lot you can do bar do a circle around their car.

The main downside of the game is the repetitiveness of the festival playlist which feels like a necessity if you want many of the cars, because if you don't get them, you'll have to pay a steep price, probably 20 million credits to be able to acquire them which can make the game feel tedious. Although it isn't required, but gives a feeling that I'm missing out on things which one day I may want.

Performance is good considering the graphics and how good they are in this game. As always with the horizon games, it looks stunning.

Overall it's an incredible game that's a steady upgrade from the previous games in so many ways and the map is a massive upgrade. I'd definitely recommend you get it, although maybe wait for a sale.

As someone who pre-ordered this game and was very excited to play the game, I was thoroughly disappointed. Much of the hype around this game was based around the nostalgia that we all have for the original trilogy. And whether that's us looking through rose tinted glasses or whether they were actually as good as we remember, this can't live up to that. This lacks so much of the charm that I remember from the old lego batman, and other series, in general. The random things that would go on in the background, the slapstick comedy that we all loved, is just so lacking in this game that it feels soulless.

The performance as well is horrid. The frame drops I experienced going into a cut scene were horrid, I would be stuck at 1 fps for seconds whilst the cutscene played, entirely ruining any emersion that had been built up. Other than cut scenes, performance is fine at best in this game. The fact that DLSS is required says enough.

The combat itself is a simplified version of arkham that feels almost automatic rather than fun. It feels like I repeatedly bash the same button until all the enemies are dead and occasionally press to counter but when you're flying from enemy to enemy it's quite rare for you to actually be hit.

Another thing that's missing so badly in this game is the characters. 7 characters total feels so lackluster. One of the things so many of us loved about old lego games were those random characters we had never heard of and messing around with them, but you can't do that here. There's 7 characters and whilst TT may claim their well crafted, that's not what many of us want. We want those full rosters to mess around with, and the lack of characters really reduces the replay ability, if you can get there.

Overall, whether it's us growing up or the game changing, it doesn't feel like the old lego batman games we adored and that's what many of us are here for. If you're here for batman, then I'm sure it'd be a great game, but if you're here for the nostalgia, then it will shatter that illusion very quickly.

Ghostrunner 2 is an amazing sequel to the original game, which I loved. I think the new variety of enemies and the changes to the already existing ones are amazing and make the game more fun and challenging. The game is definitely a step up in difficulty from the original game (or it may just be me not having played it in a while). I personally like the story but think it's just a bit worse than the original. Overall I would not pay full price for the game but if you see it for like 10 quid, I would definitely recommend. Just push through no matter how many times you die.

I got this game for £6.49 and honestly I think it is worth it. I played this game as my first battlefield about a year ago and hated it. I then came back to it after playing bf V and 1 and honestly love it. It adds some features which I think are really cool like being able to swap between scopes and other attachments in the middle of a match and then swap back. I don't think it would be worth 50 quid but if it's on sale, I would recommend it.

It's a very fun and entertaining game that will have you searching the seas for treasure. It does get a bit repetitive after 30-40 hours or, and that's with friends but after having about half a year off maybe a year and now I've come back to the game with a different group of friends, all the excitement and joy of being a pirate has returned and I am very much back into playing it. It can get a bit grindy and there are certain ways you can make more money in a short amount of time without using glitches but it's by repeating one mission. It also doesn't feel like there's a lot of progression within the game really as the main items you can buy are purely cosmetic unless it's a ship. I would definitely recommend it if you're into these grind heavy kinda games or even if you're just there to chill with mates. Crossplay can be enabled so grab some friends regardless of their platform and go and find some treasure.

Just a disclaimer. I bought this game at a 95% discount. For an EA game, there is a surprisingly lack of DLC's and pay to win. I personally would not pay £60 for a game as I just think it's to much for such a repeat of the same type of game, open world and races. However, I think this puts a new spin on it with the day and night options, the police and everything like that. I would definitely recommend this game if it's on sale.

Many bugs which can be abused in fighting to gain a significant advantage against enemies. There is a big skill range that is required to play the game effectively. If you are not amazing at the fighting in this game you may not enjoy it as every mission requires you to fight. It throws you in at the deep end right at the start as the missions do not get much harder as you progress. Unless you have friends to play with who are at a similar skill level it may become very boring as when you complete the story (about 20 hours it took me), there is nothing much to do except side quests which can become very tedious and boring.
