Offering a rich atmosphere and meaty philosophical concepts. . . Everybody's Gone to the Rapture paints a different kind of doomsday to all preceding incarnations
Gameplay stays faithful to the series' roots, with you controlling Graham through wonderfully created environments as you find items and interact with an amusing consortium of characters on your quest to win the king's favour
From Is0bel's standoffish demeanour to Kindly Cheng's evil but soothing tone, every conversation felt visceral, grounded in the world
The fun you get from Quiplash is only limited by the people you play it with. The prudish amongst us may get easily offended by other people's answers – and they'll also probably lose with their more straight-laced responses!
I may play it on mute and get griped up at the controls, but Cute Things Dying Violently is just a wonderful little gem
Every moment in Undertale is made special by the superb artistry that has been put into the music; it's far from a second thought and it shows
Challenging, fast-paced and deeper than you'd expect, there's a reason why Assault Android Cactus has such a strong following, and that's because it's a no-nonsense example of the wonders of unadulterated arcade gaming.
[Chronicles of Teddy] is a superb choice if you're looking to immerse yourself in something fantastical
Far Cry Primal's map is absolutely huge, and is literally teeming with objective markers and missions. I challenge even the most ardently focused of players to travel to their intended location without getting sidetracked on the way
Prison Architect does have a campaign mode (if you can call it that), but it's a bit subsided… where it does shine though is in its storytelling
Tales from the Borderlands can easily compete against the hottest contenders on TV, not just on account of its writing, but also its cinematic beauty
Knight Squad can become nail-bitingly tense at times, but it doesn't dampen the fun
Rogue Factor have utterly nailed it when it comes to getting invested in your warband
On the highest settings the game looks superb, with extremely detailed cars and environments, as well as some particularly impressive weather effects
There's no doubt about it, DiRT Rally is the finest rally game currently available on Xbox One
It's a widely held belief that good sound design can make a good game great, but the sound design in Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak makes a great game incredible
While technically the game may not be as impressive as others, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is special.
Rabi-Ribi's magic really lies in being relevant right now, as an innovative, deep and well-crafted 2D platformer complete with cutesy retro/Anime artstyle. It's incredibly good fun to play, engaging and witty, easy to pick up and almost impossible to put down.
Stardew Valley's art style is vibrant and reminiscent of the SNES days, but it perfectly fits the overall aesthetic and feel of the game
The brilliance of this game lies in the fact that these are all viable strategies, and that all are possible if you plan enough moves ahead
