God is a Geek

A cliche-ridden written story that has some decent ideas throughout, but is so bleak it's hard to grow attached to.

Conan Exiles excels in its sense of place, and has an absorbing and complex crafting system that will keep you coming back, but there is no escaping that it is a deeply flawed game that still feels a little unfinished.

A good premise that just doesn't match up to it's execution, much like one of Akko's spells.

A mainly disappointing sequel, with some glitches that hinder the progress and the fun.

A superb portable Warriors experience with a shocking amount of quality content packed in.

If you're looking for a tactical war game where you're sitting behind the controls of a steel behemoth, then this is for you. There's a lot to grasp, and it'll take a lot of time to learn, but it's worth giving a go.

The team behind Olliolli try something new and produce a hit, Laser League could well be a new eSport darling.

A gorgeous 2D adventure game with light puzzles, platforming and branching narrative choices. Some design decisions slow the pace down negatively, but the story and the reveal of your decisions have devastating impact.

An almost arbitrary re-release of a great game, Dragon's Crown Pro succeeds on its existing merits but brings nothing new to justify the full price tag

Cosmic Star Heroine is not only a fantastic old school experience but one that goes above and beyond with art and music and happens to be a perfect fit for the PS Vita

Whilst the creative process is cathartic and fun, the games on offer will appeal to the younger audience, or the families who show it off at parties.

Guns of Icarus Alliance brings a cool Steampunk vibe to a flying armada of ships, but a steep learning curve, and a lack of meaningful explanations of systems means the fun takes a while to come through.

An old school arcadey shooter with a great style, Battlezone is addictive, accessible fun

Despite giving the player an excess of control over shots themselves, the movement in order to set up those shots is almost completely absent. Add to this a list of unrecognisable names and you've got a tennis game that feels pretty darn hollow.

A pretty straightforward modernising of a fondly remembered 1980s shoot 'em up that successfully adds a handful of modern bells, whistles and gameplay wrinkles to proceedings whilst also suffering somewhat from the inherent gameplay restrictions of its source material.

The game might seem to be a little formulaic to veterans of CRPGs but it is not without innovations of its own. For developer Event Horizon, Tower of Time is an astounding entry that gives fans of the CRPG genre something different to sink their teeth into.

Equal parts puzzle adventure and creativity app, Vandals just relies a little too much on the players imagination for its variety.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a fantastic platformer for new players on the Switch but doesn't offer much for returning fans.

For Total War fans this is likely a must-have title, but to anyone else Thrones of Britannia is a confusing mess that simply isn't welcoming to series newcomers.

Light Fall has some fantastic ideas and a great mixture of satisfying platforming and level design, but the fun comes to an abrupt end in the final world. So much so, it sours the whole experience.
