Mick Fraser's Reviews
Rhythm Galaxy is a very good rhythm game, but it's also very safe and very familiar, doing little to freshen up the formula.
There's a lot to like in Jagged Alliance 3. The merc management system is solid, the gear works well, and combat can be very satisfying.
It's not often a game keeps its claws in after the credits roll, but Oxenfree 2: Lost Signals will stay with me for much longer than just another playthrough.
On PS5, The Valiant is just as playable and enjoyable as on PC, even if it's not quite as good-looking.
Fans will love the Lara Croft Collection, but even newcomers just looking for an interesting adventure game will find a lot to like.
Sunnyside have something very special in Nocturnal that could easily stand with the best if it had just a little more story and content.
Aliens: Dark Descent is one of the most immersive and exciting tactical shooters I've played, and a worthy successor to James Cameron's masterpiece.
Park Beyond may lack a bit of meat on its bones, but it's a mostly stress-free park building experience nonetheless.
Company of Heroes 3 - Console Edition is a mostly competent port of a very good tactical WWII game, but it still feels like it very much belongs on PC.
Star Trek: Resurgence offers a genuine thrill for big fans of the series, and more of a curio to anyone else.
Despite its issues, Fights in Tight Spaces is a fun and stylish take on the turn-based tactics genre that feels like it almost has a genre of its own.
It may not bring anything truly new to the genre, but Convergence: A League of Legends Story is a great time nonetheless.
If you've always wanted to play System Shock but never had the chance, then this remake is the ideal entry point for you.
Diablo 4 may not be the huge leap forward some were hoping for, but it still offers an incredible adventure through a dark, compelling world.
Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is a game that knows exactly what it wants to be. It sets out its stall early and rarely deviates from the plan.
Liberté is an exciting, fresh adventure in a compelling world and deserves to put developer Superstatic well and truly on the map.
Stranded: Alien Dawn borrows from RimWorld and The Sims, but meshes the borrowed elements into something both unique and immensely rewarding.
If you like the genre you'll find Showgunners a worthy inclusion, despite its no-frills approach. Just go in with the right expectations.
Fans and newcomers alike will find an accessible, compelling real-time strategy experience in Age of Wonders 4.
If you're after a different, more cerebral kind of dungeoneering experience, Desktop Dungeons: Rewind might just be the adventure you're looking for.
