Apocalyptic: Tom Clancy’s The Division
Over here at the NewsWire we’re absolute suckers for post-apocalyptic games. Especially when they’re set in the ruins of what was once Manhattan.
However, despite the atmosphere, which we admit was truly compelling, there were some failures in this game that need to be discussed.
Our Verdict: Battlefield One
For some reason first world war themed games have been few and far between. It’s the second world war that gets all the coverage.
We think that’s a great pity because, given this was the first time the world experienced the utter devastation of a world war, the period provides some very unique atmosphere.
Nostalgia on Steroids: Star Wars Battlefront
Just like many young adults I grew up watching the Star Wars movies over and over again on VHS. For those few fleeting moments we were transported into a vibrant universe with a clear contrast between light and dark sides of the force.
One of the things that most impresses me about next generation consoles is their ability to deliver on atmosphere. And there’s no doubt that Battlefront achieves that – but what about gameplay?
Judgement Time: Destiny Review
There have been few games with as much financial backing as Destiny, with a reputed $500 million budget. So, perhaps unfairly, it goes without saying that our expectations for this title were beyond demanding.
And in some respects this game delivered. However, in many other areas we found Destiny incredibly wanting. So what was our overall verdict?
The Truth: Why Did No Man’s Sky Fail?
Rarely has there been a new game release as hyped as was seen during the weeks and months before No Man’s sky hit the shelves.
But now No Man’s Sky looks like it may literally fulfill it’s title because, since its release, it has been hemorrhaging players – losing 90% of its PC users in just two weeks. This week we’re going to examine the reasons why this game failed, but also why it actually succeeded.
