If you haven’t picked up an Assassin’s Creed game in a few years, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a welcome return to form.
Long-time fans of Team Ninja’s titles should certainly enjoy all that Rise of the Ronin has to offer, but others may want to wait for a few more patches before diving in.

Eduardo and Gareth discuss their experiences with exploring the medieval landscapes of Bohemia in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.
If you’ve been enjoying the Insomniac Spider-Man games previously on PC, Spider-Man 2 absolutely scratches more of the same itch.
Into the Emberlands is all round just a lovely little adventure; a charming and lighthearted palette cleanser which will help to enlighten your day.
If you didn’t play the original at the time, or are a new player finding it for the first time, Breath of Death VII is an easy recommendation.

While Deep Beyond is gorgeous to look at, the story it tells is slight and superficial.
For aficionados of stealth platformers, Ereban: Shadow Legacy is certainly easy to recommend.
If you’re looking for a narrative adventure which is stylishly pushing the genre forward, Indika absolutely delivers.
Highwater has some good writing and atmosphere, but the light exploration and turn-based battles don’t feel particularly engaging.
Alone in the Dark certainly lives up to being the best game in the franchise since The New Nightmare in 2001.
