mini reviews march Halo Wars 2 (PC / Xbox One, Out Now) Ghost Recon: Wildlands (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Out Now) Ghost Recon goes open world in Bolivia as the Ghosts take on the Santa Blanca drug cartel. The focus on co-op works for and against the game, as does the uneven tone, but its a solid shooter - just not for everyone. 6/10 Rating System We give games a score out of 10, with 0 being impossibly bad and 10 being practically perfect. Here’s what the ratings mean. Much like the first game, Halo Wars 2 is a rock-solid, well crafted RTS that looks great and controls well. There’s little new to be excited about, and the story is dull, but it will scratch that strategy itch for a while. 7/10 Gravity Rush 2 (PS4, Out Now) Hot on the gravity-defying heels of the PS4 remaster of the original game, Gravity Rush 2 is very much a case of more of the same - but on this occasion, that’s a very good thing. Kat and her feline companion Dusty return to a gorgeous world that’s heavy on charm. 8/10 212 0 = Impossibly bad. No game should ever be this terrible. 1 = Awful. Games that score 1 should be avoided at all costs. 2 = Really Terrible. A bad game that might just qualify as so-bad-it’s-good. 3 = Pretty Poor. It might not be absolutely terrible, but there’s not much to like about this game. 4 = Flawed. Major problems really detract from the game. 5 = Mediocre. Nothing majorly wrong with the game, but nothing to write home about either. 6 = Not bad! A decent game that’s held back by some issues. 7 = Good. A solid example of its genre, though it might not be for everyone. 8 = Great. A highly entertaining game with lots to offer, even if its not normally your sort of game. 9 = Truly excellent. A spectacular game that everyone should play. 10 = Practically Perfect. Games that score a 10/10 might not be completely flawless, but they’re pretty damn close. They earn our ELITE badge of honour. www.eliteonlinemag.com
