After thirteen years, Kate Walker's third adventure is a reminder that not all good things come in threes
With incredible visuals and a unique gameplay experience, it is an exemplary example of what the Nintendo Switch is capable of
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
Thanks to its stunning visuals, electrifying soundtrack and exhilarating and addictive gameplay, the Wipeout Omega Collection is one of the best racing titles this generation
Prey generally impresses with its intriguing setting and rewarding exploration, but stumbles in its combat and technical execution
In the world of digital kart racing, Mario is king
A stellar campaign, fantastic mechanics and wealth of meaty content make Injustice 2 the new benchmark for fighting games
Farpoint is an immersive and memorable experience...only when played with the AIM controller
This lovely-looking indie adventure game exhibits a wonderful sense of imagination and artistry and makes up for any shortcomings with a satisfying journey full of heart
With remasters being such a well-defined entity in today’s world, there is plenty of titans for Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers to measure up against, and sadly it falls short against all of them
Romance offers a challenging yet enjoyable strategy experience with a historical twist
Despite a stylish dystopian setting, the narrative within it flounders a bit, but the brilliantly brutal melee combat and interesting mechanics shine through in this excellent hardcore hack and slash RPG
AFL Evolution delivers fans the best AFL video game experience to date. Sadly, due its budget-related limitations, it's likely that only avid AFL fans will see past the shortcomings
I wasn’t quite expecting to enjoy the relatively small experience that is Little Nightmares as much as I did. It captured the clever puzzles that I loved from Limbo, while also having a great visual style that gives it a good sense of identity
If you want a 90s game like how Kung Fury was an 80s movie, give Strafe a go. But if you want a more fleshed-out 90s game…just play a 90s game
Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 is a step forward for the series, however its myriad of issues means it fails to break the shackles of its predecessors
Persona 5 is the definition of style and is a masterclass in how to make a good RPG. There’s nothing about it that doesn't make it stand out. The soundtrack is one of the best I’ve heard in a long time, the combat is simple yet surprisingly deep which allows for not only the game to be quite accessible, but it is also easy to pick back up.
ash, dash, shoot and throw your way to victory in the best looking brawler since the last best looking brawler
Vikings: Wolves of Midgard is well worth a try for anyone who enjoys a hack 'n' slashy dungeon crawler. It offers fun and interesting Norse-themed enemies with a simple (but effective!) range of player abilities coupled with an engaging enough combat system that keeps you thinking.
An evocative journey through fantasy, memory, tragedy, and everything in-between.
