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.
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.
Lake Ridden is a great first person adventure game, which, despite a few hiccups, is a sterling example of puzzle heavy exploration titles.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is an excellent game with a few minor hiccups that keep it from being perfect.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Though it's not all negative, Impact Winter contains plenty of issues that many will consider as barriers to enjoyment. Ultimately, it's these flaws that'll stop Impact Winter from making a, well, impact.
Extinction wants to be a variety of different games, and fucks up with every single one. A haphazard gathering of multiple genres, Extinction fails to develop the multiple aspects of itself, leaving behind a game that's underwhelming at best and frustrating at worst.
Minit fully embraces its unique mechanics and quirky style to present a game that's both refreshing, and yet comfortably familiar.
Even with plenty of flaws and questionable design decisions, Far Cry 5 has more than enough fun gameplay to make up for it.
With the combat mechanics and systems falling short at providing much-needed depth, WHK2 can only be tolerated in short bursts before becoming mind numbing. All too often I found myself wishing I was playing something else and if a game is making you feel that way, it's not a great sign.
Ubisoft have done a fantastic job of bringing another instalment in the series back to our consoles. However, the short single player campaign and relatively empty game world that pales in comparison to other entries in the series hampers the progression of one the series' most interesting characters.
Even with some sloppy writing and a hackneyed story, A Way Out's gameplay is so infectious and its heart so since that it's almost impossible to resist. Long live couch co-op.
Though it's not a perfect game, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom will find its way into your heart with its endless charm and uplifting story. A fantastic JRPG with bags of positivity to boot, this game is an uplifting experience that the world could do with more of right now.
Far too blunt with its message to be taken seriously, The American Dream's increasingly grating brand of satire becomes its downfall.
Fun, gory and surprisingly deep for an adaptation, Attack on Titan 2 may not break any new ground, but will win over the hearts and minds of old and new fans alike.
