The best in the series since Uncharted 2, Chloe Frazer's Indian sojourn is a thrilling, fresh and engaging adventure.
Le Tour De France Season 2017 is the Team Sky of cycling games. It is the best of the genre, it is familiar and it's liked by only the true hardcore.
Micro Machines as a brand is still great fun but you'll find that's sustained only for the briefest of moments.
Wonderful retro-entertainment with this re-imagining of Burnout's crash mode. Play with the laws of physics in your car and get that high score.
Deck13 has improved their offering since Lords of the Fallen but this action-adventure RPG still fails to dazzle. It works well, but nothing more.
Puyo Puyo Tetris is a solid fusion of two distinct and entertaining puzzle games, resulting in a high quality, long-lasting and very challenging game.
Mario is back for some more sporting fun and if you can find him some pals the potential value and fun are endless. If not? Your mileage will be limited.
Vertical Drop Heroes is a remake of a browser-based game from the turn of the decade. It does procedural and roguelike in a quick and fun way but ultimately is only for fans of this genre. What it does it does well, but that is limited.
Nioh is a very good game of its own right. It doesn't do anything new but it does deliver one of the deepest combat mechanics inside an engaging action-adventure RPG.
It's Destiny Year One's last hurrah. It's good but that new game proper is needed quickly.
The Journey makes the purchase worthwhile and the rest of the content will keep you playing for months. FIFA 17 delivers as per usual.
A triumph of hype and tech over engaging gameplay. The latter is short-lived with No Man's Sky.
Not exactly novel but fantastic all the same. There's something here for everyone to love.

A bit too short, a little fiddly and a little less than invitingly re-playable to recommend to many more than the concrete fans or curious WiiU owners intrigued by the last hurrah of a dying platform.
Whilst not ready yet, in time SFV will be the best.
Give it the chance it needs and your gaming year will be made.
It will do, until Driveclub 2.0 comes out - presumably with biking from the start.
Need for Speed is fast, fun and good looking. Godspeed.
Three of the best looking, most fun and widely loved games all on one disc. Outstanding.
