While Tekken 7 does sort of go back to its roots and rights the wrongs of some of its predecessors (mainly Tekken 6) it does leave a little to be desired from a story perspective and the rage system feels more like an adaptation of systems from other fighters instead of a new system to help make the game feel unique in the genre
With incredible visuals and a unique gameplay experience, it is an exemplary example of what the Nintendo Switch is capable of
After thirteen years, Kate Walker's third adventure is a reminder that not all good things come in threes
With Get Even, The Farm 51 have crafted an immersive and captivating narrative that had me hooked until the very end. In a word, it is unputdownable

Less a game and more of a teaser, Leaving Lyndow ends up making a terrible impression
Dream Daddy comes from a nice idea, but is often hard to take seriously. It’s good fun for at least a couple of hours, but if you’re playing for the ‘novelty’ you won’t be playing much longer than that.
Sony brings a cult classic to a wider audience but does so with little fanfare or consideration
While overly simplistic puzzles are a pity, there's an engaging narrative in Peregrin that keeps this indie adventure ticking along
A handsome and challenging arcade ‘shmup’ with a time-manipulating twist
Shadow Tactics is a gorgeous, isometric stealth game with a fun and varied cast of characters
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
