Do you want to feel like a detective? Do other games keep giving you ‘all-seeing vision'? Do you wish you could actually solve problems on your own (more-or-less)? Look no further.
Frostpunk is a bleak and challenging colony builder/survival title that will either give you more respect for your boss, or have you rallying your co-workers to oust them.
Yakuza 6 delivers the series' signature poignant story, and is probably the best Yakuza has been narrative and production-wise. However, the game's trademark diversions have been trimmed back.
An accessible yet thoroughly entertaining competitive fighter, Dragon Ball FighterZ is a game for low-levels and super-elites alike.
Payback is good – assuming you're talking about the 1999 film.
So far, Before the Storm is maturing nicely.
Exceptional when it all works, but for the third year running launch-day gremlins prohibit an even greater score.
The best footballing package available, with myriad improvements – yet still unlikely to convert fans of the opposition.

Ben received a digital copy of Project CARS 2 from Bandai Namco for review.
Another remake, but a damn good one. The perfect place to begin if you've never played Yakuza before.

An emotional inferno, worth your suffering.
Ben received a digital copy of Rime from the developer for review.

Masterfully balances the needs of old and new players alike – but online teething problems are a curveball Sony has to overcome for the game to truly prosper.
Ben received a physical copy of Halo Wars 2 from Xbox NZ for review.
Ben received a digital copy of Sniper Elite 4 from GDE for review.
Not quite the game we need, but certainly the one we deserve.
Completely self-supporting; and that’s okay.
