A nostalgic survival horror that's well written and often clever, just bear with its awkward shooting.
An action horror game I respect for trying many interesting things, but one I can't recommend by virtue of it sucking my patience dry.
More COD, but it's the good kind of COD if you're an existing fan or a lapsed fan hankering for some past charm.
A remaster of a 2011 action-horror game often considered a cult classic, this will not doubt please fans wanting a return to Shinji and Suda's underworld, or newbies who want some 7/10 silliness. Unfortunately, it's all undermined by some terrible misogyny.
A leisurely collectathon set in the Japanese countryside, which can't help but stick in your memory.
A wonderful RPG that builds on many of Persona's foundations, with a strong sense of exploration and a lovely suite of pals. But its heavy combat focus may mean it remains in the memory less than its high school predecessors.
A strong remaster of a cult classic 3D platformer, which will please long time fans and mostly excite newcomers, even if it's a bit naff in spots.
An altogether fun action adventure with some charming, and occasionally brilliant, 2D to 3D platforming and puzzling. But don't expect to flex your own creativity, even if it gives you the tools to do so.
A beautiful action RPG that genuinely delivers a grand odyssey with style, a staff, and a very cool monkey.
An action RPG, tower defence hybrid of admirable intent and occasional flashes of brilliance, but is otherwise a very average time.
A carefree shadow-hopping puzzler whose colour and charm, combined with frogs, makes for a ribbiting time.
A knotty, dense expansion that's home to some of the best moments in Elden Ring, but also some of its most frustrating.
A puzzler and twinstick shooter that's just as pretty to discover as it is to look at. There's a hint of Super Mario Odyssey in there, too, if you're into that.
Mullet Mad Jack is a no-nonsense FPS that's super stylish and a lot of fun in short bursts.
Even more streamlined than before, and still easily one of the best survival games out there.
A playful Soulslike for everyone, that lets you give a crab a gun.
A turn-based JRPG that accommodates those familiar with Suikoden or those who don't know what a Suikoden is. Embrace the old-school quirks and there's a wonderful journey to be had here.
A grand action RPG adventure where you'll make travel plans and have them disrupted by a vengeful griffin whose wing you'd whacked two hours earlier.
A quick adventure with extremely easy puzzling, but it's nonetheless a joy to exist in.
General clunk, confusing crafting, and a numbers chase make this survival game a tedious grind in its current state.
