On the surface, it plays much like its predecessor. It even starts off with a Galaga ‘88 mini-game similar to the Galaxian one in previous game. Some regard Revolution as “Ridge Racer 1.5” due its similarities to the original, which is somewhat understandable since this game went for full price upon its initial release. Even so, Ridge Racer Revolution received a few nice tweaks that made it a decent step up from its predecessor.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Review

We can rebuild it. We have the technology.

While there is little to set Mankind Divided apart from its predecessor that isn’t a bad thing, is it?
