“Battlefield 1” Single-Player Review

 

Since kicking it off with 2002’s Battlefield 1942, the Battlefield series has mostly been known for its online multiplayer modes. And while that’s still the case with the new Battlefield 1 (Xbox One, Xbox One Early Enlister Edition, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Early Enlister Edition, PC, PC Early Enlister Edition), the last three games in the series — 2011’s Battlefield 3, 2013’s Battlefield 4, and 2015’s Battlefield Hardline — have shown that this first-person shooter series can have compelling single-player campaigns as well. With that in mind, here’s an assessment of the single-player campaign in Battlefield 1.

Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniversary Edition World Tour Review

If there’s been one constant about the steady stream of game reissues over the last few years, it’s that, with a handful of exceptions — Metro 2033 Redux and Gears Of War Ultimate Edition chief among them — most aren’t worth your money if you’ve already played the original. But now we can add Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniversary Edition World Tour (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC) to the list of good ones because it not only perfectly recreates the 1996 original, it adds a whole new section and other fun stuff as well.

Rise Of The Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration Review

Originally released on Xbox One and PC, the third-person acrobatic action game Rise Of The Tomb Raider was an invigorating adventure that was easily one of the year’s best games and a worthy successor to 2013’s Tomb Raider. Now we have Rise Of The Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration (PlayStation 4), which not only brings this game to Sony’s system, but it also includes both new and previously available story add-ons and challenge modes, making this the definitive edition of a great game.

Deus Ex Mankind Divided System Rift Review

Though it’s only been out a month or so, the cyberpunk shooting adventure game Deus Ex Mankind Divided (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC) is already getting a story-driven expansion. But while Deus Ex Mankind Divided System Rift (also Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC) isn’t a radical departure from the main game, it is a short but challenging one-off mission that has all of the elements, and all of the engagement, of the main game.

Destiny Rise Of Iron Single-Player Review

In a recent interview (which you can read here), Bungie’s Community Manager Deej said that while their first-person sci-fi shooter Destiny is focused on multiplayer, “Lone wolves are welcome in our living social world. We’ve even made adjustments to the paths that lead to the top of the power scale to accommodate players who prefer to go it alone.” Well, as someone who doesn’t play well with others, I decided to test this by playing the Destiny Rise Of Iron expansion — which is available both digitally (PlayStation 4, Xbox One) and in Destiny The Collection (PlayStation 4, Xbox One) along with the rest of the game — solo to see how well this game works if you are a lone wolf who prefers to go it alone.

Between the introduction of Ms. Marvel, the gender swapping of Thor, and Captain Marvel getting her own movie, it’s a good time to be a woman in Marvel Comics.
