Onrush takes the best components of arcade racing and mashes it with the addictive nature of competitive online team-based combat to create one of the best games of the year
It's Dark Souls, but better
Agony is one of the biggest disappointments this year. Its excellent atmosphere is butchered by frustrating and repetitive gameplay and an abysmal technical performance
Selling piles of magical loot is just as fun as fighting for it in this hybrid shop sim and dungeon crawler that is let down only by some annoying bugs
If you can fight your way through some technical issues, a good story and interesting action RPG mechanics can make for a bloody good time
A fun and accessible stealth-em-up in a shiny new package complete with brand-new story expansion and a plethora of improvements
Asemblance: Oversight is a confusing and compelling experience that highlights the boons of harnessing a game’s community
A sizeable collection of memorable Mega Drive games that goes the extra mile in making it feel like 1990 again
MachiaVillain is a fun game at its core but poor UI, fun stuff being suffocated by the pillow of frantic micromanagement, and subpar presentation threaten to drag it down
What Detroit: Become Human lacks in high concept philosophical musings is more than made up for in the genuine emotional connection to its world and characters buoyed by incredible performances and slick production values
Conan Exiles takes a more mature approach to the survival/crafting genre and fulfils all your barbaric desires
State of Decay 2 is a fun and challenging survival experience that suffers due to repetition and a questionable technical performance
Hide and Seek continues to build the intrigue surrounding the game’s premise, and its immersive and addictive narrative and setting demonstrates storytelling at its finest
Lake Ridden is a challenging and intriguing mystery solving game whose puzzles will test even the sharpest tools in the shed
A strong sense of identity, solid scripts, and a willingness to take risks may just make this game a cult classic amongst enthusiasts. I know I won’t forget it for a while.
God of War is a masterclass in AAA game design, hitting every benchmark of quality with an impressive confidence; an engaging narrative with interesting and relatable characters, combat that is challenging, rewarding, stylish and accessible, a richly detailed world full of content to explore and more visual splendour than you can poke a boomerang axe at, God of War is the complete package
A charming and fun homage to old-school action RPGs that works great as either an abridged experience or a long-term commitment
An iconic American sport made right here in Melbourne (Australia), can we do it justice?
The Adventure Pals is a great-looking, quirky and irreverent platforming RPG that unfortunately falls a bit flat thanks to levels that lack excitement and outstay their welcome
Thanks to a nuanced combat system, Extinction is fun hack ‘n’ slash experience whose poorly executed story and repetitive mission design stops it from being memorable for all the right reasons
