A proper shoot-em-up. Fast-paced action with some great weaponry. Story is a bit predictable and cliche but still cool. It is worth the full price of £25 but It's an absolute bargain for £5 during the Xmas sales.

One of the most complete experiences I've ever had. I own this game on Epic Games and completed it through there a couple of times. I saw it on Steam sale for £14 and couldn't resist. If you wanna test out raytracing at it's best then here's a good place for it. I find myself thinking about this game sometimes at random and very few games do that for me.

Game is so good. I did review this game negatively but that was on release. Most things from then are fixed now and its brilliant.

LIS is a game where every decision matters. Similar to Telltale Games and their 'The Walking Dead' game if you've played that. The story focuses on what happened before the events of Life Is Strange 1. If you haven't played LIS1 then even though this is newer, this is still a good place to start. Better on sale but still worth checking out at full price.

No other game has the feel that This War Of Mine gives. The immersion is great. Highly recommended and content is still being added after all these years.

I think it's one of the best Total War games.

Completed in 20 minutes. There is not much to this. Extremely repetitive cards/options, you'll see the same cards at least 10 times in a play through it's ridiculous how lazy the devs were with this. Not even sure it's worth the £0.99.

Its all well and good saying the player models are pretty. If you are in to gaming and like good graphics then you'll think this looks like a pile of sht, and it does. The graphics and engine are still terrible looking and a stupid, clunky mess.

I feel like they’re exploiting the loyalty of their customers. Every year they do the same thing. They leave a knowingly buggy game broken and then expect us all to pay for it again next year in hope that they’ve finally fixed what we paid for last year. Don't get me wrong, FM21 is still the greatest football management game ever made... But then again, is there really any worthy competition or any to compare it to? All we can do is compare it to last years which it is always going to be better than because its the same game with more content.

Off the pitch the experience is nearly perfect in terms of football simulation and management. While on the pitch the game has really a clumsy and obnoxious match engine. Those saying it has good graphics must be stuck in 2005 cos they're fking dreadful. Another issue is the lack of new interactions. Every question from the press is repetitive af, the same player interactions, random responses from players that you would not expect. You tell a player he had a good training session and he gets upset that you are happy with his training cos he thinks his training was not good enough. Ok mate. Then the argument drags out over months and he ends up sold in the next window. Stupid. Makes you not want to interact with players at all.

Overall, FM21 is a great game. You will spend countless hours perfecting your tactics, tweaking your player roles, finding the next best football player in the market, twiddling your finances, and much more. Off the pitch the game is amazing and won't disappoint. The fake 'social media' part of FM is great and I love reading it, but yet again like everything else... Its the same old things repeated again and again.

If you've never played FM or haven't played for a few years then you'll have an incredible time and it'll take up half your life. If you've played FM recently then there is hardly any new things and it isn't worth the price tag.

I can't recommend the game because of how much I feel mugged off by SI every year. They don't add enough content or new things that make it worthy of £40 price tag.

I won't allow comments cos I don't need to hear from silly FM fanboys telling me the graphics are next-gen incredible feats of development.

SI is lazy. Very lazy.

Its alright. A bit cheesy but its ok lol, would be so much better if it had less hand-holding.

Edit: Just read that PC doesn't get 'next gen' graphics and gameplay until at the very least - FIFA 23. What kinda bulls#it is that? The excuse given was that 'most PC's wouldn't be able to handle it' lol we are not on PC's from 2005. Do you see Activision saying we aint bringing COD out on PC cos PC players won't be able to run it? lol typical EA and laziness.

Welcome to FIFA 17.4.0!

We hope you enjoy our copy and paste game with new kits and updated transfers.

I am updating my review as I have actually played more than 5 minutes now, and checked out all the modes and put a few hours in. Still wouldn't tell people to buy it though unless they had never played FIFA before. My opinion has hardly changed between opening and playing the game for 5 minutes, and playing the game for 60 hours.

The only thing thats been updated and got new stuff is FUT. FOR OBVIOUS R£A$ON$. It is great creating your own dream team though and glad to see FUT now has coop mode! As with every year I'm disappointed with lack of effort. Particularly in other modes away from the money maker. Career mode has hardly been touched and hasn't had a good change for years and years. Seasons is totally untouched. Graphics untouched. Everything is untouched apart from FUT, but even that has hardly any new additions. The only new thing is this s#itty VOLTA football mode to replace The Journey. It's awful. There's no story mode. The Journey was one of the best things FIFA has done in recent years, why abandon it now?

TLDR: If you're in to football and you're looking for a football game and haven't played FIFA, get it. You'll probably love it. If you're a regular FIFA buyer, I wouldn't recommend people to buy it. It is hardly any different than any of the others the last few years.
