A delightful point-and-click which avoids well-worn conspiracy tropes thanks to a talented cast and great writing.
Vampyr is rich with great characters and story moments, however combat and frustration will be a deterrent to many.
For a game released near-identically across multiple platforms and generations, The Wolf Among Us holds up very well. If you can handle the lack of conventional gameplay and instead approach it as a ‘choose your own adventure’ with a slick script and voice work, check it out.
Moonlighter is a genre-mixing delight, however its steep learning curve may turn some away.
From Software and Miyazaki’s triumph with technical upgrades, dedicated servers and the DLC included. There is nothing better.
INSIDE is a game that requires a player who doesn’t learn as they go along. It is a well-made game from a talented young studio, but save for the final moments has little to wow the player after the first half.
The experienced driving game devs look to other genres for inspiration and deliver a mash-up which provides a unique, chaotic and downright fun experience for many hours.
The art and music direction in Shape of the World is undeniably delightful but its gameplay lacks purpose, and the game suffers as a result.
If you have the patience to overlook a few pacing issues and dodgy lip syncs, Life is Strange offers up a mature, nuanced story which centres on female friendship (and maybe romance) and the effect our actions have on others.
A fun and educational city builder which unfortunately drags thing out a little too long.
Whilst MotoGP 18 represents a step in the right direction for Milestone and this series there's still work to be done for things to reach the next level.
The Spectrum Retreat impresses with its devilishly tricky puzzle solving, which rewards exploration and new ways of thinking about challenges. A real delight — check yourself into the Penrose Hotel today.
Not quite an ace, but a respectable new addition to the series, multiplayer mayhem saves a disappointing single-player mode.
A disappointing foray into sex horror which does nothing interesting with either genre.
Agony's vision of Hell is breathtaking but its tedious gameplay and plethora of bugs hold it back.
Bastion's dialogue talks vaguely about the world and the characters, giving off a strong sense of world building, but if you start to dig and think too hard about it, the lack of depth does begin to show. The gameplay is charming and colourful but the mechanics themselves begin to feel a bit like a chore in their implementation.
A charming and interesting puzzler, with a refreshingly accessible approach to level design.
The Crew 2 does what it does with solid assuredness. It's just a shame that what it does is so bland and middle of the road.
More of the same from Stoic: small tweaks improve the variety of skirmishes, and the outstanding visuals, sound and narrative make this a saga long to be remembered.
From the beautiful (and ugly) ambience of your surroundings, to the mutinous and sad mutterings of the Mudokons and the cacophony of murder on every screen, New ‘N’ Tasty is the perfect addition to your gaming library.
