An incredibly faithful retro-inspired side-scrolling beat ‘em up.
An attempted re-imagining that lacks ambition but should still satisfy most series fans.
An interesting and in many ways strong FMV adventure title, but one somewhat let down by middling acting (at best) and a lack of attention to streamlining the gameplay for consoles as part of the porting process.
Lack of depth in narrative, gameplay, and character development hamper a potentially interesting concept.
A fun tactics game with a great sense of humour and a unique twist on the alien invasion trope.
LEGO DC Super-Villains offers a huge amount of bang for its buck.
A solid and mostly fun accompaniment to the film.
The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker takes a great stab at presenting a modern FMV murder mystery game.
The Legendary Edition does therefore go a little above and beyond the call of duty, but not by much.
Dynasty Warriors 9 stands tall in the series' library, only being let down by relatively minor issues that will hopefully be fixed in subsequent instalments.
Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 is another strong Lego game from Traveller's Tales.
I can’t help feeling that if TT had dug just a little deeper, and expanded on the combat with things like elemental skill trees or multi-character combos, they could have made it even more engaging.
Cars 3: Driven to Win is a slightly pleasant surprise, nostalgically reminded me of childhood days spent playing the likes of Mario Kart or Muppet RaceMania.
Injustice 2 is everything a Mortal Kombat game would offer, and everything a fighting game should be, making it a must-have for both DC and fighter fans alike, even if it does feel a little bit too familiar.
Overall, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard looks backwards in order to move forwards, not just by re-focussing on horror but also in a number of other less headline-grabbing ways.
