A flawed but fun fusion of two drastically different universes provides a unique arcade style fighting experience
A thoroughly unnerving, yet innately rewarding experience that graciously pocketed hours of my life, and had a lasting impact. In our world of instant gratification and wrought gameplay experiences that are ever derivative, ECHO stands to surprise us all
'Samus Returns' brings Metroid back from the dead, and it does so in style
Knack II makes great strides in improving on the gameplay failings of its predecessor, but makes equal missteps in the quality of its characters and storytelling
A brilliant and visually incredible ride that proves itself worthy of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the titans of the sci-fi racer world
A cool concept can’t save Dead Alliance from being dead on arrival
Deck Nine’s take on the cult hit episodic series delivers a more grounded experience without losing the compelling drama and hard-hitting emotion
A visual masterpiece with an interesting central gameplay idea that unfortunately fails in its main mission of being emotionally engaging
The unique combination of intricate golfing mechanics and RPG-like elements makes Everybody's Golf a fun and challenging experience in a bright and cheery world
Necrosphere is a tough metroidvania game that provides a unique, yet sometimes frustrating control scheme
F1 2017 is certainly a good F1 simulation and the career mode will keep many people busy for months to come
A trip to the Mushroom Kingdom by way of Ubisoft and the Rabbids, this risky move pays off with an addictive and challenging turn-based strategy RPG full of great fan service and more than a few laughs
A solid adventure whose gameplay should maybe take the 'Un' out of Uncharted
Yakuza returns to its roots with this pitch-perfect remake of the series’ debut title, brought kicking-and-punching into 2017 with a total facelift and a raft of new content
The best Sonic game in more than a decade has arrived, packing brilliant levels both new and old
A clever side-scrolling shoot 'em up that's got style and flair, whose blistering action should make you forgive its short length
Striking a balance between superb visuals, outstanding sound design, excellent character writing and a well-written story which spans wonderfully rich Celtic and Norse mythology, Hellblade will go down as one of my favourite games of this generation and perhaps even longer than that
Shadow Tactics is a gorgeous, isometric stealth game with a fun and varied cast of characters
A handsome and challenging arcade ‘shmup’ with a time-manipulating twist
While overly simplistic puzzles are a pity, there's an engaging narrative in Peregrin that keeps this indie adventure ticking along
