The first post-season pass DLC is a substantial slab of new plot, gear, and abilities but never anything more than that. If you loved the base game, this is a lot more of exactly the same.
The 60fps option improves the gameplay to a small degree but, almost a decade later, it’s not the graphics or the story that impresses the most in GTA 5, but the open world design. It’s the one element that is beyond criticism and while it is beginning to seem a little old-fashioned compared to newer titles like Zelda: Breath Of The Wild and Elden Ring it’s still lightyears ahead of any of its would-be rivals.
A remarkable comeback for the franchise, with a redesigned game engine and control overhaul making for a very entertaining experience.
Not only the worst game Platinum has ever made but one of the worst live service titles of any kind, with an especially disgusting attitude towards microtransactions.
A visual novel that offers the occasional diversion into some engaging turn-based strategy but would've been infinitely better if it had curtailed it's long-winded storytelling aspirations.
A highly original, dark gothic thriller whose lack of compromises will restrict its audience but are hard not to admire.
A perfunctory kart racing spin-off that has a few unique charms but falls well short of its far superior competition.
Making full use of PlayStation 5's DualSense controller to convey an incredibly deep and satisfying driving model, everything from weather to reflected sound effects have been modelled to perfection – making Gran Turismo 7 easily the world's most complete driving game.
Although its addition of plot and characters doesn't quite work the racing action is as thrilling as ever, with a huge diversity of vehicles and the compelling handling fans have come to expect from the series.
An impossibly ugly attempt at a faux retro 2D shooter that thankfully plays better than it looks, but still feels like a mostly wasted opportunity.
A masterful blend of Dark Souls and Zelda: Breath Of The Wild that makes high demands of its players and yet still remains surprisingly accessible and adaptable.
Less a reboot of a forgotten NES game and more a sub-par clone of Dead Cells, where the gorgeous visuals cannot hide the mediocre gameplay.
There's still room for improvement but this is the best King Of Fighters has been for many years, with enough new features to please both veterans and newcomers.
An inspired ending to the Warhammer trilogy that rather than just adding new factions makes a host of clever additions and changes to the gameplay and structure, in what is one of the great achievements in modern strategy gaming.
A solid sequel to the crowd-pleasing original, which still doesn't make enough of its unique setting but manages to add an impressive amount of depth to its combat and side content.
A bright and breezy revamp which builds on OlliOlli's established mechanics with an abundance of personality and reverence for skateboarding culture.
As a straight action game the core combat is elegant and original but the roguelite structure makes the already mountainous difficulty just too much to bear.
A little rough around the edges, especially in terms of the storytelling, but the interminable wait for this open world zombie sequel has been worth it
There's still a lot of room for improvement but this is easily the best Pokémon game for several years and a positive new direction that the mainline games would be wise to follow.
Uncharted 4 is one of the best action adventure games ever made but this remaster does so little to improve the experience it doesn't feel like anything other than a cynical cash grab.
