Red Strings Club tells a beautiful, universal story about the nature of suffering and the right to feel it in an invitingly atmospheric setting.
Yakuza Kiwami is an extremely faithful remaster of 2005 classic Yakuza, complete with generous visuals and a new mode that diversifies the awesome combat. If you like absurd humour, tight narrative, Tekken Tag synths and punishing combos, this game should definitely be on your radar.
A solid and life-breathing addition to a previously waning franchise, Call of Duty: WWII plies fans with the gameplay the know with enough bells and whistles to please franchise fanatics and newcomers alike, despite not quite reaching the hallowed ground of the series best.
Wolfenstein: The New Colossus carves its own path as an improved version of its predecessor, but the result is not entirely revolutionary. Come for the gameplay you know and stay for the story, score and characters that you don't.
An engrossing and incredibly nostalgic examination of the role instant messaging clients play in forging and maintaining relationships - both when they work, and when they don't. Play the predecessor first, then come back for more. And play it like you're 16 again.
Marvel Vs Capcom: Infinite is one of the best fighters of the year on a pure gameplay standpoint, the Story Mode may be utter guff and the visuals are incredibly mediocre but when it comes down to it, the core combat and online component are so addictive that you can sink hours into the characters and stones and still be finding new combos and set-ups.
Ruin of the Reckless is a wonderful new entry to the Roguelike arena that binds tantalising, mechanically sound gameplay with a gorgeous art style and an inspiring soundtrack.
STRAFE proves to be a worthy spiritual successor of all the classics of the genre, while also introducing modern elements that fit well into the gameplay. While the experience can be frustrating sometimes due to unfair damage and bugs, Pixel Titans delivered a solid and addictive game.
Outlast 2 offers an openness to its environment which produces a vulnerable protagonist and dangerous world in which to delve into. Exploring dark religious tones throughout this isn't one for the faint of heart.
Tinder-esque swiping meets an infinite timeline of royalty? I'm in.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is more than a "western JRPG", it manages to reinvent and bring new elements to the genre in many unique ways.
Messhof have taken the unique thrill of the first Nidhogg and channelled it into an excellent sequel that develops the experience and makes it essential. Pick it up on Steam and get ready to ruin your many friendships

A brilliant little marvel, Minit finds beauty in its arbitrary constraints to craft a compelling, puzzling little adventure game with talent beaming out of its art and audio design.
A strong start to the season, Thesis brings satisfying NSA gameplay and ties it well to a thought-provoking narrative in a complementary and immersive operating system environment.
Serial Cleaner is an immensely fun, innovative indie Switch title that will test not only your wits but your patience with its increasing difficulty and cleverly-crafted level design. With a great soundtrack, a pleasing aesthetic, and enough content to entertain players for hours, it's a must-have for anyone who enjoys a good puzzle and wants to prove their talent for making dead bodies disappear.
Nex Machina feels like a living retro experience in which the player gets trapped inside an arcade machine. The only way out is to get better, and destroy machines in the most stylish way you can possibly think.
Far Cry 5 is one of the best open world games ever made, and certainly Ubisoft's finest effort. Unfortunately, the narrative stumbles and trips, throwing the tone into disarray and ultimately leading to a dissatisfying conclusion. Throw your story expectations to the wind and come to Hope County for the addictive open-world thrills, excellent OST and side characters.
Get Even is a spectacular genre-bending indie with a number of novel ideas only hampered by a few marginal technical bumps in the road. If you're a fan of psychological thrillers and are looking for something fresh and exciting, this is the game for you!
Episode 1 of The Council offers just the first taste of an intriguing narrative, wonderfully tied with an original approach to the narrative-adventure genre.
