Exceptionally tough, rewarding strategy and a masterful reworking of the XCOM formula. We'll play this forever.
DMC4's savage swordsmanship still entertains, in spite of reheated levels and uninspired puzzles, and the addition of Lady introduces an explosive new style of combat to Devil May Cry's armoury.
Sloppy combat and ongoing optimisation can't quite spoil this dark fantasy adventure, set in a stunning world of blood and black magic.
A worthy upgrade to one of the best strategy games ever, featuring the best space battles in the business.
Sharp and deeply satisfying combat carries this imaginative, occasionally cringe-worthy tale, but don't bother if you played the 2013 original.
A confident remaster of a true classic. The puzzles have aged badly, but the sparkling humour and world design still shine.
A magnificent city full of exciting assassination missions, marred by broken co-op and technical issues.
Slow, technically flawed and dogged by premium microtransactions. A sorry take on a classic card game.
Infuriatingly difficult, but perfectly constructed. Ikaruga is the PC's best bullet-hell shooter.
A great world and an interesting story, but this short second entry lacks the tense decision-making of the first.
A gorgeous, relentlessly entertaining open-world piracy simulator packed with interesting 18th century rogues.
A gorgeous world, bursting with personality. Great storytelling makes up for the short length and unchallenging puzzles.
