Civilization VII does what Civilization does. A new version of one of the greatest strategy games around. Some might say accept no substitute.
The first tape in Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a beautifully crafted return to the narrative genre for Don't Nod. Veteran players will feel right at home, while newcomers should prepare for a dialogue-driven, richly observed, and poignant study of '90s nostalgia and teenage angst.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a safe but solid sequel to one of the best superhero games ever made, and one that's only real problem is its lacklustre PC port.
Lacklustre gameplay and a dull aesthetic means that Liberté is a far from revolutionary entry in the genre.
If you're a fan of the movies you will be overjoyed at just how complete Indy's adventure is in The Great Circle. However, even if you're not, what we have here is arguably one of the best adventure games we've had in a long, long while.
Terminator: Dark Fate - Defiance: We Are Legion is a great DLC that isn't entirely unique but adds another thought-provoking narrative and even more satisfying strategy gameplay to a title that already made you wonder how bleak the future will be.
Profound or perplexing? Pine: A Story of Loss has an angle on grief which will either resonate, or feel like two hours of dreary padding.
The House of Da Vinci successfully translates its puzzle formula into VR, offering an engaging experience. However, some of the same issues from the original game have carried over, preventing it from reaching the genre's full potential.
Rich atmosphere, engaging visuals and some thoughtful gameplay tweaks make PRIM a macabre delight, while traditional point-and-click fans will enjoy the familiarity of a well-made adventure.
LEGO Horizon Adventures struggles under the weight of expectation, whilst never managing to find an identity or audience of its own. Fun combat encounters and great visuals lose out to an otherwise shallow experience.
Horizon: Zero Dawn Remastered is the ultimate way to experience the beginning of Aloy's journey. Despite seeming like a frivolous restoration on paper, in practice its subtle improvements ensure that this game will even further last the test of time.
This Until Dawn remake is the best way to experience the game, but shows its age in terms of mechanics and more. As a piece of fun, if you've not played before (and to get ready for the movie), it's worth your time.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, although not without its faults, is far and away the best Call of Duty game to release in almost a decade.
Survey Scramble offers bite-sized, streamlined polling games for all the family across four different modes. They may be variations on the same theme but it's an enjoyable aperitif while you fight over which other Jackbox games to play.
I wasn't expecting such an ambitious, multi-faceted, experience from this latest TMNT tie-in. Unfortunately, mediocre gameplay and sub-par performance really let the four brothers down where it counts. Cowa-bummer, dudes!
Starship Troopers: Extermination, like all Starship Troopers media made after 1997, isn't worth knowing (more) about.
Aloof yet captivating, Phoenix Springs teases moments of brilliance within its world, but its story remains elusive, frustrating those in search of clear answers.
If you can put the technical issues aside, this is the definitive way to experience Kratos & Atreus' ongoing journey. God of War: Ragnarök is a fantastic sequel and shows a studio at the peak of their game making powers.
Although Starfield: Shattered Space isn't objectively terrible, it's both lacking in content and creativity, and serves as a staunch reminder that not every game's first major update in over a year can be as good as Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.
There's plenty of potential in this first Naughty Pack. Hopefully it will be successful enough to encourage the development of something newer and more substantial in future instalments.
