Cory Wells's Reviews
After the large strides last year, the minimal announcements for updates to this year's game raised a red flag.
Despite the lack of content at launch and the long waits to join matches, I still can't seem to put Firewall Ultra down.
Madden NFL 24 feels like the most complete game since jumping to this generation.
F1 23 makes welcome changes and additions to the series with the most beneficial being the racing.
Street Fighter 6 modernizes the series and feels like a true evolution that hits the likes of Hyper Fighting, Third Strike and SF4. This is possibly the biggest swing the series has seen and it worked out.
TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 3 seems to focus more specifically on the technical aspect of the bikes while touching up other areas.
The most welcome aspect of EA SPORTS PGA TOUR is the PGA aspect itself.
INGAME STUDIOS should be commended for trying something different as they've previously worked on the Mafia series amongst other titles.
While not a lot has changed in terms of ways to play MLB The Show 23, the experience on the field is much improved.
2K and Visual Concepts continue to show commitment to this franchise in WWE 2K23 by making necessary gameplay changes and additions to an already-strong core that was established last year.
With The Official Videogame 6, The Monster Energy Supercross series from Milestone continues to feel like the pot on the back burner of all the racing series they develop and publish.
Relic has taken everything that makes the first two games great and made sufficient additions to help Company of Heroes 3 succeed in this renaissance of RTS titles.
EA's NHL series feels like it's slowly distancing itself more and more from the NHL and going more of the FIFA route for a wide variety of hockey around the world.
2K and HB Studios have made the necessary additions and changes to make PGA TOUR 2K23 the best in the series.
On the field, EA Sports has offered an even deeper and more immersive experience with FIFA 23.
NBA 2K23 is the game the community has been wanting, but that hardcore community is far more advanced than any casual player looking to just play a basketball game.
Madden NFL 23 takes a few good steps forward, but seems to forget other aspects that will hopefully be addressed in the future.
What makes F1 22 great are the improvements to the core technical aspects.
Evil Dead: The Game is undoubtedly the best Evil Dead game yet.
MotoGP 22 is the best game in the series to date, but is hampered by its aging core design.
