The Digital Fix

A tough, technical fighter with a lot of resources to help you conquer it. Shame about the story mode, though.

Death Squared doesn't do anything particularly new but its execution is wonderful. More to the point, with the right group of friends, it's a downright hilarious way to spend an evening.

A stylish, bleak puzzler which overcomes many of its flaws through tightly polished delivery.

Whilst lacking in the depth that some other management simulations offer, Pro Cycling Manager still does a good job of transferring the technical world of pro cycling into a competent if unremarkable game.

Wonderful retro-entertainment with this re-imagining of Burnout's crash mode. Play with the laws of physics in your car and get that high score.

Victor Vran is an excellent port of a solid Diablo clone combining solid 60fps (ish) dungeon crawling with some heavily action-oriented demon-slaying gameplay.

While stuffed full of promise, Perception fails to execute what could have been an unique and brilliant horror adventure concept.

Humour and pacing is sacrificed for a delve into Rocket's past, but even that cannot sustain a lacklustre storyline.

Arms is Nintendo at its very best. It keeps things simple enough to be fun for the casual player but nuanced enough to satisfy hardcore fighters.

Even with its lightweight platforming and puzzles, Pinstripe remains an enjoyable and touching romp through Hell.

A hefty and uncompromising challenge for those who would welcome it, but a tad too unforgiving for newcomers to the genre.

Inoffensive JRPG fodder that would have benefitted from a true remake rather than a lacklustre port.

Explores a hard-hitting, if somewhat familiar story in gorgeous visuals without quite offering enough in terms of gameplay.

Tokyo 42, despite its faults, is a fun game to play but ultimately feels like a massive missed opportunity.

An uncoordinated tangle of ideas that's just too confusing to be fun.

A dark, challenging stealth game undermined by an unimaginative and rambling story littered with crude gags and lazy pop culture references.

Whilst there's not a lot added here, what there is makes Cities: Skylines an even more complete city building simulation.

Deck13 has improved their offering since Lords of the Fallen but this action-adventure RPG still fails to dazzle. It works well, but nothing more.

A distinctly below average hack-and-slash game with better examples of the genre already out there.

A poor ending to the weakest season to date, bogged down with inconsistent characterisation and a plot that ignores or discards many key threads.
