Cricket 26 Review

Cricket 26 reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on PlayStation 5. Also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. "During the moments it manages to keep everything together, Cricket 26 is genuinely capable of providing an entertaining and challenging form of bat-on-ball action that elevates it above the last couple of entries in the series like a lofted drive over the infield. However, the countless glitches and bugs still present even after a few post-release patches means it’s prone to break down as often as Ben Stokes’ body, and its small handful of new modes are either seriously undercooked or inaccessible at this stage, making it far from being a must-have upgrade for fans of Cricket 24 in its current form. Cricket 26 is a bit like fledgeling Aussie opener Sam Konstas – undoubtedly capable of genuine brilliance in bursts, but still clearly a work in progress not quite ready for the top of the order."
