An enchanting adventure with an amazing atmosphere and an incredible creature with loads of personality. Camera and controls are a let-down but aren’t enough to stop this being excellent overall.

Overwatch’s unique style and excellent gameplay is a refreshing take on the team FPS with a positive attitude and a fantastic multiplayer experience. For me, the new king of multiplayer FPS.

XCOM 2 builds on everything that made its predecessor great and makes it even better, if you can handle the difficulty. An excellent strategy game – play on Iron Man for the best experience.

A cinematic, rollercoaster ride of high drama with twists and turns at every step. Structural flaws and a story perhaps not on-par with previous outings aren't enough to stop Zero Time Dilemma from being an excellent interactive experience.

A wonderful dip-in, dip out strategy game which appears very simple at first but has a surprising amount of depth, addictiveness and intrigue. Perfect for mobile but still good for longer sessions on desktops.

Gorgeous, exhilarating and with a lot of charm, some niggles can't stop you from embracing Gravity Rush 2's positive vibe and the rush of flight.

A highly polished immersive sim that although on first glance looks generic, has lots of good ideas and real depth. The star of Prey though is the amazing space station it's set on, a joy to explore.

A dark, atmospheric and immersive adventure, full of memorable moments. Design frustrations and lacklustre puzzles stop this reaching the heights of bedfellows Limbo and Inside – but this is still a captivating experience.

A deep, challenging adventure that will test your skills to the limit, but is full of wonder and personal triumph. Fans of previous Dark Souls may feel a little let down by the familiarity and callbacks, but as a stand-alone game, this is a fantastic experience.

A dark and deep dungeon crawler with lots of difficult choices, great combat and cool stress mechanics. Does get a bit repetitive but overall a fantastic RPG for the tactically minded.

If you can persevere through the game's poor useability, you'll find a complex and compelling sim with many player stories to tell.

An excellent remaster of a classic point and click adventure. Flaws with the genre remain but the time travel puzzles, non-linear design and entertainment value set this apart, making this great for returning veterans and newcomers alike.

Sci-fi lovers will enjoy this; a survival game full of atmosphere and tension, but it requires investment by the player.

A fun and solid FPS single player campaign with good ideas and satisfying combat. Multiplayer is tough for newcomers but becomes great.

Enthralling, atmospheric and creepy with some nice new ideas. Unfortunately the quality doesn't sustain. Not as groundbreaking as some Resident Evil titles, but a promising new direction for the series.
