Stellaris has plenty of depth without being too complicated for newcomers to play, will give you a different gaming experience every time you play a new game, and the storyline, although sedate at times, still packs in plenty of excitement and great storytelling.
Spike volleyball has a solid core and some great gameplay mechanics but the whole thing is let down by poor animation and lacklustre presentation.
Glass Masquerade delivers more than you think at first glance, and I found it a puzzler that was both challenging and therapeutic.
Overall I think Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 2 is something that has been made for the enthusiasts and players who are already fans of the sport. Despite the smooth slick presentation, I’m not sure many new converts will be won over to the sport, as its not really a game you can just pick up and play.
Road Redemption deserves praise for staying faithful to the core game play of Road Rash, but doesn’t have enough polish or weight (quite literally when handling the bikes) to make it a worthy successor to the old classic.
Its obvious within a short time of playing Floor Kids that a lot of love has been put into the production of this game, with characters that show different personalities through their dance moves in a stylish comic book world.
Overall, Override: Mech City Brawl gives you a good amount of content to have fun with, providing a lot of variety in the gameplay, so you can switch in and out with different bots to prevent it becoming a grind.
Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics presents itself as competent with solid gameplay, but is very much lacking in character or depth to keep you playing beyond one playthrough. The framework is there but its crying out for more in the way of variety that could be fixed with some decent DLC content.
Mutant Football League: Dynasty Edition is a well above average arcade sports sim, jam packed with gory but cartoony violence, making it a worthy successor to the original game.
GRIP is a great speed racer with a big nod to favourites of years past, breathing new life into the genre, and its well worth adding it to your game collection.
Treyarch have jumped fully on board the Battle Royale bandwagon, but not content with that, have jumped into the drivers seat and changed up a gear to give the best and most fun version of the genre. If fast and varied action and plenty of firepower is what you want, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is going to be right up your street.
Jack N’ Jill DX offers simplicity in gameplay that works to its advantage to start with, but doesn’t offer enough variety for things to become stale, and is probably best enjoyed in short bursts
For now Construction Simulator 2 gives us the chance to drive, dig and build to our hearts content at a less than hectic pace.
