Splitgate 2 is free, it has high production values, and there's a lot of fun to be had with it. All that considered, it's definitely worth your time. Nonetheless, it's incredibly frustrating to know that it isn't as good as it could have been, and by spending more time looking back, the team could have taken the Splitgate name several leaps forward.
Rainbow Six Siege now finds itself in the best position it's ever been in for player onboarding.
The experience is usually pretty smooth as a result, but that also means challenge is kept to a minimum. It's an experience with very few highs, but also almost no lows, and as such is perfect for playing with a young relative – or, if you prefer, to play as a relaxing low-stakes adventure by yourself.
"'It's up to you' is the philosophy at the heart of Atomfall"
A case of evolution rather than revolution, Sniper Elite: Resistance uses what came before to create something that's familiar, but consistently fun and occasionally tense. Plentiful collectibles and unlocks throughout the campaign, and a fantastic invasion mode, ensure this will last long past the final mission.
Despite a few lurches here and there and some so-so exploration, Mario & Luigi Brothership offers an enjoyable voyage with smooth sailing, and a punderful script that brings the laughs. It has a new developer and an extra dimension, but the same dedication to humor and brotherly love.
With the best Call of Duty campaign in years, and a tweaked movement system that comes to life in multiplayer, Black Ops 6 is both a return to form and a great entry point for new or lapsed players. Just don't expect it to do anything interesting with the Gulf War setting.
Ghostrunner deserved a sequel; specifically, a sequel better than this one.
Farlanders is a strange, ultimately disappointing beast. Strong storytelling isn't enough to hold up this turn-based city builder with flawed city building.
Unlike anything else, and able to meld its two disparate halves into something cohesive and satisfying. You won't feel fleeced if you buy this.
A gripping experience, despite an ending that kicks itself up the arse.
Proving that cars and golf can somehow mix, this fun, futuristic, and fast-paced game stands tall and proud alongside Rocket League.
Deep and unique enough for genre veterans, yet also simple and welcoming enough for newcomers.
Grid Legends finds its niche alongside Forza Horizon and Gran Turismo, offering track-based thrills for all skill levels.
Looks better than it plays, but it's got a good heart.
The narrative is strong and dark, but the game beneath it struggles to keep up.
Fun, cartoonish pirating, which makes you feel cheeky rather than evil.
An extremely intelligent sci-fi interrogation sim that's unpredictable for all the right reasons.
All three of me agree, there's nothing quite like it. Quantum League is worth your time.
A joyful mix of stealth and action, the fun doesn't snag on the rough edges.
