The Shapeshifting Detective may lack the colossal budget of AAA games, but it nevertheless creates an intimate, skewed world that will draw you in. If you’ve ever fancied yourself an amateur sleuth, albeit one with an distinct biological advantage, then The Shapeshifting Detective will be right up your street.

Even if the game’s visuals don’t appeal to you and you’ve never tackled any other games in the series, it still warrants investigating. Corpse Party: Book of Shadows’ frequently disconcerting and often bloody payoffs, as well as periodical dollops of psychological horror, make it worth tolerating the game’s less engaging moments.

8 / 10.0 - Call of Cthulhu
Oct 29, 2018

Whether you're a Lovecraft fan or not, there's a lot here to love – just don't blame me if you have to clean Elder God-sized arse-prints off your windows.

5 / 10.0 - Zarvot
Oct 22, 2018

Weighed down by a middling-at-best single player mode, no matter how quirky it attempts to be, Zarvot's trying, polyhedral antics don't justify the price of admission.

Nevertheless, taken in reasonable doses, like the board game it's based on, Space Hulk: Tactics is a rewarding and satisfying strategy game, whether you're purging the unclean or punching your extendable jaws through an intergalactic fascist's face

Lacking the budget and visibility of the more mainstream WWE titles, there's a risk that Fire Pro Wrestling World will get overlooked, at least here in the west. But give it a chance and you'll discover an addictive, accomplished wrestle-fest that will have you grappling for hours at a time.

It's not perfect, but Marvel's Spider-Man is the best that a Spider-Man game has ever been, knocking even the long-lauded Spider-Man 2 off its perch. Fast, fluid and webtastically fun, Spider-Man will appeal to Spider-fans and newcomers alike.

Two Point Hospital is a ridiculously entertaining game that will challenge and delight in equal measure. Just remember to check your patients' wallets and purses before you check for a pulse

If you're dedicated to Warhammer 40,000's world you may get some joy out of this but Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr is anything but to-die-for.

7 / 10.0 - Graveyard Keeper
Aug 20, 2018

As long as you can stomach the slow opening stretch and that the game doesn't quite live up to its title, you'll enjoy this gruesome spin on the farming genre.

8 / 10.0 - State of Mind
Aug 13, 2018

Disappointing as this lack of follow-up may be, State of Mind still delivers a stellar sci-fi experience that, while comparable to other entries in the genre, has a character all its own. Given the game's complex topics, don't expect to walk away feeling like all is well with the world, but you'll be more than glad you plugged in.

6 / 10.0 - We Happy Few

If you're prepared to stomach the game's less appetising sections, you'll still get a little Joy out of We Happy Few.

7 / 10.0 - oOo: Ascension
Jul 26, 2018

There are times you will hate oOo, and I came pretty close to deleting the game on more than one occasion. But if arcade thrills are your thing and you can view failure as a learning experience, then oOo Ascension will be right up your street.

Train Sim World isn't a conventionally exciting game, nor does it pretend to be and, to some, will remain a niche interest. It's not perfect and, given the game's multiple train models, there may be times that you'll struggle to remember how to start your vehicle of choice. But this is clearly a labour of love, by people who know their subject and it shows. If you've even the remotest interest in trains, whether as a passenger or would-be-driver you'll get a lot out of Train Sim World; hop on board and you won't be disappointed.

The Path of Motus is a game with heart, but that's not enough to make it an essential excursion. You'll find some fun here if you take the trip but be prepared for an uneven and sometimes frustrating journey.

Taken in small doses, the game can be a fun, challenging experience – as long as you step away before frustration sets in. And if those issues could be fixed in time for a sequel, I'd be up for a second visit to The Spectrum Retreat.

There is some joy to be gleaned from the game and if you're avid follower of the Anima series you'll enjoy picking through the game's lore. Dip into it by all means but, stylish as it is, Anima Gate of Memories: The Nameless Chronicles does relatively little else to distinguish itself.

Jurassic World Evolution may not be the deepest management sim ever, but it embraces its subject matter with gusto.

For a game that relies so heavily on its narrative to carry it, Detroit: Become Human fails to excel.

Carefully crafted and complex, but never offensively so, Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire will satisfy even the most demanding role-playing gamer.
