Gears 5 takes the series to new heights but it's weighed down by some annoying bugs and a story that seems to try a touch too hard to tie itself to the original trilogy. Whilst Horde mode is still excellent and the various Versus modes are fun, the new Escape mode is a bit hit and miss.
The Sojourn is a competent and technically apt puzzler, but one which feels oddly empty.
While it leaves many questions unanswered, Fracter is nonetheless a moody and polished port of a mobile puzzle game.
Telling Lies is a rich drama told in an inventive and fun way, enabling the player to learn what happened in a personal and unique way.
While not perfect, what's there is jaw-droppingly gorgeous, plus it has heart and brains. If you're a fan of roguelikes, Children of Morta is well worth your time.
Faith is a fine return to form for a season which had felt progressively aimless, and an episode which sets up an unpredictable and potentially explosive finale.
Gibbous skews its Lovecraft origins to comic effect, though it would have benefitted from more testing puzzles and less obvious humour.
An impressive framework for a seamlessly interactive experience, devalued by the uneven melodrama played out on-screen.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a fine example of brutal turn-based combat involving people you love. Get going in the game and you'll struggle to stop.
The writing is clichéd and the gameplay linear, but Dry Drowning provides enough quirks for fans of the visual novel genre to warrant a look.
An initially fascinating murder mystery that descends into repetition for its final two-thirds. A real shame.
Enjoyable, but not as engaging as previous entries, Wolfenstein: Youngblood does a good job of attempting to branch the series out from its trademark style.
New Star Manager ups the ante as you step up from footballer to football manager. The football remains great fun but the rest will work for some and not others. The PlayStation version looks, sounds and runs fine but the Switch's stick and touch screen combo would be preferred.
An amusing and beautiful way to spend a few hours. Don't forget to send a postcard.
Etherborn is beautifully constructed yet flawed in its execution, but you shouldn't miss out on this short foray into a topsy-turvy puzzle world built with dream-logic.
What Riverbond lacks in depth, it makes up for with wonderful simplicity. Potentially too basic as a single-player game, but it's a silly, upbeat and nostalgic adventure best played with friends.
The Sinking City is an ambitious attempt to bring a fresh take to the world of Lovecraft. If you're an unabashed fan of the lore, or don't mind repetitive gameplay, you'll enjoy what's on offer here. Otherwise, you'll probably end up going slowly mad.
F1 2019 raises the bar once again for F1 games. Whilst more hardcore racers will still prefer something like iRacing or Assetto Corsa, casual players and F1 fanatics will wholeheartedly enjoy their time here, regardless of their skill level.
The Twilight Garden DLC successfully builds upon existing puzzle mechanics with new items and skills, and contributes to the lore of Moss' simple but endearing story — a timely reminder of one of the sweetest platformers that VR has to offer.
A unique and traditional atmosphere gives way to repetition in this competent but limited fright-fest.
