With the welcome additions of online multiplayer and a versus arcade mode, Overcooked 2 provides even more opportunities to riff off your very best profanities while brandishing a frying pan for dramatic effect — a superb party game for all ages and sensibilities.
A parallax scrolling edutainment title, heavy on interesting lore but light on engaging gameplay.
Earthfall often skirts too far into derivative gameplay territory, but at its heart is a game meant for friends to fight off alien swarms while quoting only the cheesiest of sci-fi action film lines. It isn't perfect, but it doesn't have to be in order to be fun.
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.
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.
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.
A charming and interesting puzzler, with a refreshingly accessible approach to level design.
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.
Agony's vision of Hell is breathtaking but its tedious gameplay and plethora of bugs hold it back.
A disappointing foray into sex horror which does nothing interesting with either genre.
Not quite an ace, but a respectable new addition to the series, multiplayer mayhem saves a disappointing single-player mode.
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.
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.
A fun and educational city builder which unfortunately drags thing out a little too long.
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.
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.
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.
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.
From Software and Miyazaki’s triumph with technical upgrades, dedicated servers and the DLC included. There is nothing better.
Moonlighter is a genre-mixing delight, however its steep learning curve may turn some away.
