It's not the God of War you once knew, but Kratos' debut on PS4 brings the franchise back into the limelight in a big way as one of the best games of its generation.Microtransactions: nope
A dramatic but fitting send off for one of SEGA's most legendary characters. Despite its flaws and kitchen sink dynamics, Yakuza 6 is a must for any PS4 player's collection.
While not without some faults and limitations, Frostpunk is an often harrowing parable on society that makes you the monster without you even realising it.
Though it might not have the most long-term replayability, especially if you're playing on your own, Battlezone: Gold Edition is an entertaining tank battle game with some interesting roguelite elements.
Monster Prom is fun alone, but even more so in a group, with quirky characters that couldn't be more different from each other to fight over, and it's monstrously hilarious to boot.
In a world with Project Cars 2, Dirt Rally, Forza and Gran Turismo, Assetto simply doesn't offer an engrossing or polished enough package to compete. There's more content, better graphics, more vibrant online communities and more fun to be had elsewhere.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is an excellent game with a few minor hiccups that keep it from being perfect.
Lake Ridden is a great first person adventure game, which, despite a few hiccups, is a sterling example of puzzle heavy exploration titles.
Irreverent and bizarre, Immortal Redneck is the ideal for roguelike for anyone curious how Florida Georgia Line would fare in a firefight with ancient Egyptians.
The Council got off the starting line strong, but has now stumbled over the first hurdle. The question now becomes whether or not the adventure of Louis de Richet can recover as the series continues.
Glossing over the irony of including "sight" in the name when the camera is sub-standard, Omensight offers both an absorbing murder mystery and enjoyable gameplay. Definitely worth checking out.
Despite some frustrating and obtuse puzzles that hinder rather than enrich the narrative, STAY is a simple tale told with style and delivers an important lesson that we could all learn from.
The concept is fantastic and with refinement it could be something worth getting but as it stands I don't even want to go near it again.
FAR: Lone Sails manages to be memorable in a way that a lot of indie games fail to be. What it lacks in length and varied gameplay, it makes up for with its spellbinding presentation.
Monster Slayers is a neat and simple little game lacking in the strategy department with some irritating port issues stopping it from hitting the heights. A perfect game for turning down the volume and just listening to some audiobooks or podcasts while you slay, die and slay again.
All in all, Space Hulk is a really fun and tense shooter that is best enjoyed with friends. Unlike many other similar games, the single player, despite its flaws, has something to offer lone wolves as well.
This is the incredible game that you know and love - nothing more, and nothing less. It's an amazing way to begin the series for newcomers, but hardcore fans might be let down by the absence of additional content.
Conan Exiles is a pretty good game with some excellent visuals, but while the Early Access was perhaps 50% there, the full release only reaches about 75%. Perhaps one day it will reach 100.
Though the games themselves far outshine the packaging that binds them, Street Fighter: 30th Anniversary Collection is a fine celebration of one of the fighting game genre stalwarts. Plus, it's the only way to play Third Strike on current consoles, which makes it invaluable.
It's a game and it works, but it doesn't break any new ground and Vile Monarch need to have a big think on where to go from here with the series.
