7 Cartel Tycoon

 

Cartel Tycoon, now available on Xbox Series X/S, invites players on a morally dubious yet undeniably captivating journey to the top of the drug cartel hierarchy. Channeling the gritty essence of 80s and 90s narco culture, this management sim offers a complex and often challenging experience. While the subject matter may raise ethical concerns, Cartel Tycoon injects a unique twist into the genre, but with some ...

9.0 Skull and Bones First Impression ...

 

I feel like it has been a while since we had an open-world pirate game, but we got one for 2024. Ubisoft and one of Ubisoft’s Original Games Skull and Bones which was first announced back in 2017 by Ubisoft Singapore at an E3 event. I remember because I was there when it first got announced and I was excited because I love video games that incorporate wooden ships and pirates. This game when I first heard ...

 

9.5 Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

 

It has been a LONG time since we’ve seen a proper Prince of Persia game. Back in 2020 Ubisoft had announced a remake for The Sands of Time, that quite frankly looked REALLY bad. After seeing that, I thought the franchise was doomed and it was time to move on. Thankfully, that project is delayed indefinitely…. which is typically lingo for “We aren’t going to do that anymore”. So, ...

 

7.5 Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

 

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora takes players on an exhilarating journey back to the mesmerizing world of Pandora, offering a visually stunning and immersive experience that captures the essence of James Cameron’s iconic universe.

7.5 Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator 202...

 

Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator 2021 has hit the Xbox consoles, bringing a whole new level of realism and excitement to virtual garage enthusiasts. As a devout fan of both motorcycles and simulation games, I couldn’t wait to get my hands dirty in this digital workshop. One of the first things that struck me about the game is the attention to detail. From the finely crafted motorcycle models to the lifelike ...

 

6.0 Car Detailing Simulator

 

If you’ve been around GamesReviews.com for a bit, you know I am a sucker for Simulation games. So naturally, when we acquired this code for review it was sent my way. I take that as a badge of honor. Currently, I am playing through Electrician Simulator on PC as well.  But this time around, we are cleaning some cars in Car Detailing Simulator. In Car Detailing Simulator, you get a chance to renew any car ...

 

8.5 UFC 5

 

UFC 5 is the latest installment in the popular Ultimate Fighting Championship video game series, and it has managed to elevate the franchise to new heights. Since there is a big lack of boxing games I was eager to give this a try to help quench that thirst.  And let me tell you, UFC 5 does not disappoint. From the moment you boot up the game, you’ll be greeted with stunning visuals that capture the essence ...

 

8.5 NHL 24

 

I’ve been a hockey fan my entire life, and no matter where I have moved and lived, I’ve always worn my love for the Toronto Maple Leafs on my sleeves. NHL has always been a franchise I have loved, and still today it’s a fantastic simulation sports experience. With the new upgrades for the 2023-2024 season, I think NHL is as good as its ever been, but there are still a few issues I see. Updating the game Most ...

 

8.0 Sonic Frontiers 2023 + The Final ...

 

It is the nature of modern games that they can change, and quickly. Luckily Sonic Frontiers is all about quick. Okay, puns aside, this is a game that has changed a lot since I reviewed it back in January, and not least because of the free Final Horizon DLC released at the end of last month. But is that enough to bring players back? My initial opinion on Sonic Frontiers is that it was a diamond in the rough. It…

 

8.0 The Crew Motorfest

 

It’s hard to put out a racing game today and not be compared to things like Forza or Gran Tourismo, which are the cream of the crop in the gaming world to be honest. But Ubisoft tries their damnedest with The Crew Motorfest. Eight years ago, with THE CREW 1, they  brought to life a vision of a shared open world filled with car adventures. They gave players the opportunity to experience the illegal street ...

 

8.0 Two Point Campus Medical School D...

 

Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus have been some go-to cozy gaming of mine for the past couple of years. Harking back to Theme Hospital back on the PC, where I also spent waaay too much time playing, the series has been a comfort food sort of gaming experience for me since then. A brilliant mix of humour, simulation, and fun make it a good time had by all. Now Two Point Studios introduces its latest DLC ...

 

8.0 Madden 24

 

There are very few things you can count on in life. What’s the saying go the only sure thing are death and taxes? Well, I would say the only sure things are Call of Duty and Madden…yes, it’s that time of year again. The air gets a little crisper, the beers get a little more pumpkin-y, and it’s time for that Sunday tradition of FOOTBALL. So of course, we need our annual installment in the ...

 

9.5 Stray Xbox Series

 

Do you like cats? If the answer to this question is yes, then you should read this review of Stray for the Xbox Series and then go buy this game!

Well, until he meets a tiny flying robot that decides to help…

 

9.0 Broforce Forever (Xbox Series X)

 

When America needs to dole out some democracy, there’s only one gang of soldiers brave enough to answer the call: the Broforce. Made up of familiar (but not too familiar) faces from favourite action films and TV series of the 80s and 90s, you get to chew gum and kick ass through dozens of hilariously funny levels. And while the original game came out in 2015, Broforce Forever – the final update ...

 

8 The Wandering Village

APICO combines resource gathering, biology, and minigames with ideas from both real-life and fantasy beekeeping and gardening, as it teaches players about the ins-and-outs of maintaining a healthy hive and the importance of ...

 

8.0 Super Mega Baseball 4

 

Long before we were treated in the gaming world to the masterpiece series known as MLB the Show, little Kevin used to sit in front of his CRT TV playing games like Bases Loaded. There was just something about how much FUN those games were. Fully embracing the arcadiness style of gameplay, no need for real teams or players, just had fun with it. The mechanics also were so simple that virtually anyone could pick ...

 

7.0 Mia and the Dragon Princess

 

I’m a sucker for the old school FMV games. Playing them on my PC in the mid-late 90s and occasionally we get some on consoles now. The latest of which being Mia and the Dragon Princess, which don’t let the name fool you, the game is full of greatly coordinated fights, explosions, and action. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Mia dreams of adventure, but her feeling of responsibility to her ...

 

6.0 Minecraft Legends (Second Opinio...

 

Minecraft Legends is an upcoming action strategy video game being developed by Mojang Studios and Blackbird Interactive, and published by Xbox Game Studios. It is officially slated to release on April 18, 2023. Now this isn’t the first spinoff from the ULTRA successful Minecraft series, you may remember Minecraft Dungeons from a few years ago, which I had a lot of fun with honestly. Can they do it again ...

 

8.5 Age of Empires II Definitive Edit...

 

I remember sinking in so much time into Age of Empires II back in the day, it had come pre-installed on a lot of computers I had owned and I had a lot of memories just wasting time with it. When they announced the Definitive edition back in 2019 I had hoped it would make it’s way to consoles, and now it has and if you have Gamepass, you can play it for free. The core gameplay elements are shared…

 

8.0 Goldeneye 007 (Xbox)

 

Add this to the list of reviews I didn’t think I’d be writing in 2023. Goldeneye 007 was a killer app on the N64, and is legendary in the console FPS world. But how does the new remaster hold up? 007 played by Pierce Brosnan makes an unexpected (and difficult) return to our screens in the guise of a slightly improved emulation of the original game. That’s not to say that it isn’t ...

 

7.5 OddBallers

 

Ubisoft seems to be in the news a lot lately, from plunging stock values, delays of Skull and Bones again, and now the semi-flawed release of their newest title OddBallers. Now let me start all this off by saying Ubisoft is one of my absolutely favorite developer/publisher teams out there. I am a massive fan of Watchdogs, Far Cry, The Division, Etc etc. I think they get a lot of heat for putting out many good, ...

 

8.0 Two Point Campus Space Academy

 

Last year one of my most enjoyable gaming experiences was getting to review Two Point Campus, as a big fan of Two Point Hospital and Theme Hospital before it way back in the day this was a no brainer. The gameplay is fun, relaxing tone, humorous writing, what’s not to love? In fact, you can read my whole review HERE. So obviously when they announced the Space Academy DLC, I was already with my astronaut ...

 

7.5 Sonic Frontiers

 

Sonic Frontiers is the best Sonic game in a generation. If you’re running faster than the blue blur to tell me that isn’t saying much, congratulations. You win Internet Original of the Day. But believe me when I say this is a new direction for the former console mascot. Do you remember the Saturday morning cartoon Sonic? He could seemingly run on any surface, leaping from one area to another in a ...

 

6.0 Soccer Story

 

In a world where football is banned, it’s up to one youngster to… play football. So that football can return to the world? That’s Soccer Story, and if that explanation grabs you, congratulations – the game is exactly what you think it’ll be. Soccer Story is part sports game, yes. But mostly it’s about exploration and MMO-style quests that have you mostly using your magic ball ...
