Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II does little to change the established Call of Duty formula, which makes it an enjoyable, if generally forgettable, entry into its endlessly running franchise.
Paper Cut Mansion is a strange, sometimes spooky but mostly unique take on the tried-and-true adventure roguelike genre.
Another fine and varied selection of titles from the Jackbox stable, with something that will appeal to everyone in your party.
Some fundamental issues in the swing mechanics mean that PGA Tour 2K23 ends up in the light rough to the side of the fairway. Hopefully, HB Studios can rescue the hole with a recovery shot to the fairway and time will tell if they're able to make par.
Stylish but oddly lacking in atmosphere, Jennifer Wilde has some interesting gameplay concepts which fail to fully ignite, and Wilde himself often feels more like set dressing than a crucial part of the story.
LEGO Brickstales captures the fun and creativity of LEGO really well. Unfortunately, this fun but flawed construction-based puzzle game struggles to live up to the potential it shows in its first few hours.
It doesn't make any strides in advancing the genre, but brevity, timeliness and an allegorical story mean that The Plague Doctor of Wippra's gameplay faults can mostly be overlooked.
Return to Monkey Island is a brilliantly modernised point-and-click adventure game that's tailor-made for both fans of its classic predecessors and anyone who loves narrative-driven exploration titles.
Despite some mechanical gripes, Cult of the Lamb is delightfully blasphemous in the best of ways, from the creepy-cute visuals to the fast-paced roguelite combat to the engrossing base building. Being a possessed sheep leading an evil cult has never been so much fun.
The Last of Us Part I may be built on old foundations, but the structure remains as outstanding as it did almost a decade ago. The work that Naughty Dog has done here may appear granular, but the results speak for themselves.
F1 Manager 2022 is a commendable entry into the management sim arena. It provides a solid footing from which to build future entries with plenty of scope for future features. Frontier Developments can be proud of what they've achieved and will hopefully build on this year's version's solid start.
Voyage is not going to challenge your brain, it won't make your palms sweat or give you a boost of adrenaline from snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. It doesn't last a hundred hours with half a dozen DLCs to keep you busy. It's just a pretty and moving game that will keep you entertained for a couple of hours. It's not pretending to be anything else and it's all the better for it.
Restless Soul has stylish visuals, a cute premise, and enjoyable combat. But it has little of the natural charm of the games it’s trying so hard to emulate, rendering it a mildly amusing but ultimately unoriginal game.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is an excellent package and another wonderfully executed preservation job from Digital Eclipse. Not all the games hold up under a modern lens, but this is still a must own for any TMNT fan.
A unique and challenging game that will keep you entertained long after the initial charm wears off.
A Tale of Paper: Refolded isn't a bad game, but it doesn't do anything that its competitors don't, which makes the entire experience feel forgettable at best and like a moist piece of paper at worst.
South of the Circle is the very definition of a masterpiece with its hyper-relevant story, phenomenal voice acting and Oscar-deserving dialogue.
A gentle, immensely silly romp through an Agatha Christie style whodunnit. Lord Winklebottom is a promising debut from a talented indie studio.
If Two Point Hospital was your jam when it was released four years ago then Two Point Campus will no doubt already be on your wishlist. It's not perfect and needs some tweaks but it is still a blast to play when everything's working out.
Moss: Book II is a fun, cute adventure that makes use of the Quest 2's impressive hardware while remaining family-friendly and casual enough for younger audiences.
