Middle-earth: Shadow of War Review

Middle-earth: Shadow of War Review
Plenty of Fun - 4.4 / 5
As an enthusiast of the open-world genre, I was pretty excited to get my hands on Middle-earth: Shadow of War. The first instalment in the Lord of the Rings spinoff was a surprising success back in 2014, with critics and fans heaping praise upon its excellent combat mechanics and distinctive characters. Much like its predecessor, Shadow of War is a game of gargantuan proportions; a vast open-world adventure full of monsters all eager to kill you off.
While the last decade has seen games of this ilk improve with bigger maps and better graphics, Shadow of Mordor‘s Nemesis System was, in my opinion, the most innovative idea brought to the open-world genre in the last ten years. Although it’s surprising other RPG’s haven’t gone down the route of creating their own type of Nemesis System, pleasingly, it returns in Shadow of War; bigger and more enthralling than ever.

Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review - Plenty of fun for all ages

Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review
Block wars - 4/5
Charming, engaging and most importantly, fun, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is another excellent entry in the Lego franchise.
Much like previous Lego movie tie-ins, Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens closely follows last year's sci-fi blockbuster adding a little cheesy Lego humour and extra scenes along the way. Pleasantly, before the main story begins, you get to revisit the last thirty minutes of Return of the Jedi, including Han, Chewie, and Leia’s mission on Endor, Darth’s redemption on the Death Star and Lando Calrissian getting “a little too close” as he heads to the superstation's reactor.
