Hideo Kojma's first post-Metal Gear game is a messy, indulgent vanity project - but also a true original.
Telling Lies, by contrast, is but a second baby step into uncharted territory: a little wobbly, a little naive. But definitely courageous and exciting.
Beautiful, broken, with flashes of brilliance, Anthem is a disorganised mess in search of a reason to be.
The worst of pretentious story games and brainless beat-em-ups combined - with an insulting gimmick that's all its own.
The 'spiritual successor' industry reaches deep into the 90s game cupboard with this futuristic racer. Should we start asking why?
Another sumptuous, endlessly entertaining automotive playground, but its shift into 'shared-world' online gaming is only a partial success.
Despite the flashy boats and planes, this sequel to the ambitious open-world racing game is underdeveloped where it counts.
Its big themes are glibly handled, though this is still Quantic Dream's most credible and satisfying interactive yarn by far.
Fresh presentation and admirable dedication to its big idea can't save this two-player adventure from mediocrity.
A melancholy masterpiece is reborn in this faithful and breathtakingly beautiful remake.
