Little Nightmares 3 features little innovation, few scares, and limited appeal if you’ve already played the previous two games, unless you’re dead keen to experience the series’ signature brand of stop-start stealth with a friend in tow.
Creative, colourful, and a consistent crack up, Lego Party is purpose-built to turn any boring old night into a block party filled with belly laughs.
Silent Hill f presents a fresh new setting to explore and a fascinatingly dark story to unravel, but its melee-focussed combat takes a big swing that doesn’t quite land.
Kronos: The New Dawn offers a compelling mystery to solve and a chance to explore a chilling sci-fi hellscape, but its mediocre combat system keeps it in the shadow of survival horror classics like Dead Space and Resident Evil 4.

Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is a genuinely engaging 2D action platformer that’s beautiful to behold and even better to play
RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business offers another serving of ultra violence to indulge in but doesn’t do much by way of new spins on the original’s action. It’s a form of mindless fun that’s as familiar as it is ferocious.
Deliver At All Costs features some uniquely fun deliveries and a satisfyingly smashable set of cities, but its slapdash story and limited tools for vehicular destruction mean it’s one shipment that’s far from the complete package.
Atomfall is a compelling, post-apocalyptic survival story that satisfyingly bends to your choices and discoveries no matter which direction you take.
Absolutely heaving with buried treasures and varied pleasures, Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a consistently captivating voyage that kept my timbers shivering whether on land or at sea.
Sniper Elite: Resistance is a solid stealth-based shooter, but it fails to set its sights high enough in order to pull off a truly spectacular execution.
Like a bloody blade worn down by a few too many battles, Slitterhead grows increasingly dull over time and ultimately just doesn’t cut it.
The Lake House DLC is a tightly paced slice of psychological horror that serves as an absorbing addendum to Alan Wake II.
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead does a commendable job of taking the uniquely silent scary movie series and spinning it into an interactive adventure, even if its methods for sustaining stress seem a bit too clearly contrived at times. I greatly appreciated the many handcrafted human touches that made its evacuated spaces so evocative, and the safety net of its consistent auto-save meant that my numerous instant deaths never became a source of frustration.
Unlike its towering cast of kaiju cameos, Kong: Survivor Instinct is an unremarkable Metroidvania-style adventure that simply doesn’t measure up.
Until Dawn is an overpriced and under-featured remake that seems less like a must-have bit of moonlit murder and something closer to a case of daylight robbery.
Silent Hill 2 is a great way to visit – or revisit – one of the most dread-inducing destinations in the history of survival horror.
Funko Fusion’s dull combat and repetitive missions means that just like your Funko Pop collection, it’s probably best left on the shelf.
I Am Your Beast is a stirring, snack-sized shoot ‘em up that succeeds in spite of its simplified story and slight progression problems.
The Casting of Frank Stone is a dull Dead by Daylight spin-off story that’s barely worth staying up past your bedtime for.
Star Wars Outlaws is a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration, but it’s hindered by simple stealth, repetitive combat, and a few too many bugs at launch.
