58 / 100 - Resident Evil 3
Mar 30, 2020

Both the Nemesis and Raccoon City are massively underused in this disappointing step back for the series.

84 / 100 - Black Mesa

A quality remake that broadens the scope of the original and massively improves its final chapters.

83 / 100 - Shenmue III
Nov 26, 2019

A seamless continuation of the series that makes up for its limitations with pure heart. It's like Ryo never left us.

92 / 100 - Disco Elysium
Oct 15, 2019

An irresponsibly deep detective RPG that lets you be any kind of detective you want. Even a bad one.

66 / 100 - The Sinking City
Jun 25, 2019

An occasionally entertaining detective game blighted by poor writing, rote combat, and a dreary open world.

May 21, 2019

A stylish, understated, and subtly chilling psychological thriller with a compelling mystery at its core.

70 / 100 - Rage 2
May 14, 2019

Some of the best first-person shooting on PC, but the rest of the game struggles to keep up with it.

Mar 27, 2019

Menacing robots, a gorgeous world, and an intriguing premise, but ultimately too minimalist for its own good.

A satisfying detective adventure based around a weird and wonderfully imaginative retro internet.

78 / 100 - Metro Exodus
Feb 13, 2019

An incredible trip through a stunning post-apocalyptic world, let down by some uninspiring FPS combat.

89 / 100 - Resident Evil 2
Jan 22, 2019

A tense, challenging, and beautiful remake of a classic survival horror game, and with enough fresh ideas to make it feel excitingly new.

69 / 100 - DayZ
Dec 21, 2018

DayZ has the power to create incredible stories, but the twitchy, weightless combat and buggy zombies let it down.

77 / 100 - Killer7
Dec 3, 2018

Imaginative, beautiful, and utterly strange, but you'll need to really love the story to endure its idiosyncratic combat.

7.9 / 10.0 - Battlefield V
Nov 8, 2018

Despite changes such as fortifications, more physical character movement, and an increased focus on squads, it still scratches that distinctive FPS itch that Battlefield always has.

A beautifully constructed and powerfully atmospheric mystery that you really have to work to solve.

A good RPG with some unique ideas, but one that ultimately plays it too safe to really stand out from the crowd.

A greater focus on raiding tombs, and massively improved stealth combat, make this one of Lara Croft's best modern adventures.

88 / 100 - Shenmue 1 & 2
Aug 20, 2018

A weird, beautiful, melancholy martial arts adventure. Flawed, but an unforgettable, singular experience.

An atmospheric, well-designed adventure elevated by borrowing elements from role-playing games.

78 / 100 - Chasm
Jul 31, 2018

Beautiful pixel art and tight controls make Chasm a fine, if reserved, modern take on the Metroidvania.
