A story too abstract and gameplay too basic keep this puzzle-platformer lurking in the shadows.
Super Meat Boy Forever is polished and glitzy, but the gameplay switch-up feels like a backward step from the addictive nature of the first game.
Orwell's Animal Farm is a bold attempt at turning a classic novel into a video game. While the actual gameplay isn't anything special, it does manage to stay true to the message of the book.
As dark and poignant as it is humorous, The Hand of Glory is a not-to-be-missed, but at times incongruous, adventure full of intrigue and innovation.
Cyberpunk 2077 has some seriously major technical problems, but it's worth putting up with them to experience a fantastically down-to-earth story that's accompanied by solid shooting and great music.
Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition is a game trying so hard to replicate and better its peers that it loses its way. From the story and lore of the world, to the puzzle solving and even the visuals, everything about it feels held back and the little it does well isn't enough to justify its lengthy playtime.
Twin Mirror is a shallow, dour few hours of adventure, with only a few moments that would make it worth a curious gamer's time. Every time you find yourself trying to fall under its narrative spell, one problem or another causes the whole illusion to shatter.
Unto The End is a beautiful game with stunning visuals, but it's held back by uneven – and sometimes downright frustrating – gameplay.
Empire of Sin has too many bugs and too many balancing issues to make it worth putting up with its insanely uninspired combat and lacklustre story.
Suzerain probably takes itself a bit too seriously, but offers a unique take on the genre of text-driven gaming that's worth experiencing.
Even if lacking the slickness of some of its genre forebears, Visage still shocks and entertains once you begin to piece it all together.
Per Aspera is not only the best city builder to come out in the past decade, but one of the most interesting games to grace computers in a long, long time.
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a tighter, more concentrated Spider-Man video game experience that focuses so heavily on what makes the character great - regardless of who's in the suit.
Eivor is a fun character who provides lots of entertainment as you play through their story. The game is enormous and will keep you entertained for ages, with the content engaging and truly compelling, meaning you'll want just one more quest, one more go.
We clearly had the big leap last year, as WRC 9 only shows minor improvements overall. It still suffers from a lacklustre multiplayer experience, but for those wishing to take cars and drive at speeds that defy all sense around roads ill-designed to be driven that fast, WRC 9 is the game to do it with.
A love-letter to PlayStation and PlayStation fans, Astro's Playroom also happens to be the killer app for showing off just how cool the DualSense controller is. Whatever you do, don't forget about this one.
For all of its grandiose stylings and ambitions of being a pure reduction of the open-world formula, The Pathless never feels greater than the sum of its parts. It feels like more of a small-scale time waster. It's fine for momentarily taking your mind off of things, but those wanting a consistently strong and engaging experience may want to follow a different path.
A generic fantasy setting, confusing story and boring gameplay means The Falconeer fails to impress.
Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War's multiplayer is terrible, its campaign is forgettable and its zombies are okay, which all makes for a game that feels like a much worse iteration of previous installments into the franchise.
Amnesia: Rebirth is a horror roller coaster that flies by, even if parts of the narrative and the game's stealth and physics system aren't always up to task. It has a lot on its mind and is never afraid to give the player a new encounter and eschew a previous idea entirely. Chances are that by the end of the game, you'll have plenty to remember.
