Fans of the original game will absolutely lap Attack on Titan 2 up, but it's those who are yet to leap into its world, video game or otherwise, that will find it the most rewarding.
If you want a slow-moving, brick-by-brick resource gathering sim, then this might be yours. But if you're looking for something with deep complexity, endless creative options and rich world-building, you should probably look elsewhere.
Burnout Paradise may not have been the best Burnout game but it's still evidently a timeless classic, and now you can play it in 4K with tidied-up visuals and a solid 60 frames-per-second framerate. What's not to like about that?
If Capcom wanted to use this re-release as a way to drum-up interest in a new Devil May Cry game then I feel they've gone about it the wrong way, as there's nothing here that's going to expand the series' player base. But, for those who simply want to play the games and rekindle memories of times gone by, the Devil May Cry HD Collection may just suffice.
Way of the Passive Fist is an interesting title that offers a great deal to those who fully get on board with it, but its repetitive nature and demanding difficulty means that they will be few.
Every level offers a new challenge, and just when you think you've got the hang of everything, QUBE 2 will throw something new at you.
The Mad Ones raises a lot of questions and leaves us on a heck of a cliffhanger, but even without that, it sets up an exciting enough premise to leave me on tenterhooks for the next episode. I can't wait to see what else Big Bad Wolf has up its sleeve.
All in all, TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge is a delightful recreation of the event itself yet it exists in a genre populated by games that far exceed it.
The fun you can have with Gravel outweighs its shortcomings.
From the beautiful colours that fly past you, to the wondrous creations of destruction you can craft, Blasters of the Universe is filled with things to love.
Unless you're prepared to to get to grips with RiftStar Raiders' unintuitive controls, you're probably best off steering clear.
Defender's Quest: Valley of the Forgotten is an engaging blend of two normally distinct genres, bolstered by an interesting, if sometimes tonally inconsistent, story.
Despite my love of the 90s and all its radicalness, I won't be eagerly returning to this one, no matter how rad it may seem.
PSVR has found its champion, its poster child. Quill is so happy to have you join her on this journey, and the camaraderie you two create is unforgettable.
The foundation laid by the game offers a surprisingly fun experience, even for those who aren't that interested in the franchise, but thanks to poor AI, a boring story, and uninteresting characters, it isn't able to become a great JRPG in its own right.
Roughly a four-hour experience, Legendary Gary is a strange game to sum up, but one that's totally worth your time. Unlike anything I've ever played before, its unique mixture of fantasy and reality makes for a thought-provoking, sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes funny journey that often touches too close to home.
As you unlock new characters, bolster your stats and become more knowledgeable about the game, you know victory will one day come, and that makes your desire to keep at it even stronger. Immortal Redneck is perhaps the best roguelike I've ever played because of that fact
Metal Gear Survive is a far cry from any other game released prior in the series, but that doesn't make it any less compelling. So it's up to you: either cling on to the notion that Metal Gear Survive is a terrible cash-in and miss out on an interesting adventure, or put your misconceptions aside and jump right in and have some fun. I know what I'd do.
Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia seems try and offer a little something for everyone — which is both the game's selling point and downfall. Though it is accessible and enjoyable for many, it means everything that makes the anime so enjoyable is being spread too thin. It needs to be more focused, less complicated, and the good aspects need to be made great.
Sure, it's beautiful — and after the end credits have rolled and you're free to explore the world, bereft of annoying puzzles, there's beauty and secrets to be found at every corner — but as an overall experience the unnecessarily obtuse world design and repetitiveness makes Fe stand out only for its frustrations, not its successes.
