Our review
Ashes Cricket (2017) by Big Ant Studios attempts to deliver a comprehensive cricket simulation, and while it takes some strides in the right direction, it ultimately falls short of being a true champion. The game offers a good range of modes, including a full Ashes series, custom tournaments, and a career mode. The batting mechanics are generally enjoyable, offering a decent sense of control and a variety of shots. Bowling, while functional, can feel a bit repetitive, and the fielding system, particularly catching, can be frustratingly inconsistent. Graphically, the game is a mixed bag. Player models are recognizable, and stadiums look decent, but textures can be a bit flat, and animations sometimes lack fluidity. The atmosphere of an Ashes match is captured reasonably well through crowd sounds and commentary, though the latter can become repetitive over time. The career mode is a nice addition, allowing players to develop their skills and rise through the ranks, but it lacks the dept…
