An impressive start to a new fighting game franchise, that has a few rough edges but also plenty of new ideas and some gorgeous animation for its varied roster of superheroes and villains.
An excellent slice of DLC that, just like the parent game, manages to comfortably exceed expectations, with a large new map and an impressive array of new pokémon, objects, and features.
Salmon Run remains one of the great co-op experiences of the modern age but only a minimal effort has been expended in turning it into a single-player game, as Splatoon Raiders struggles to justify its existence.
The best Doom game since the 90s, that successful marries the best parts of Eternal and The Dark Ages to make a ferociously entertaining first person shooter that is one of the year’s best gaming experiences.

A purposefully bizarre idea that works extremely well as an arcade style romp, with just enjoy challenge and depth to keep you coming back for more.
A skilful remake of one of the best loved Assassin’s Creed games, that retains an impressive diversity of tasks, complemented by gorgeous new visuals, streamlined systems, and perfectly pitched additional content.
An excellent remake that retains everything that was great about the N64 original and adds just the right amount of quality of life improvement to keep it fun for modern audiences – even if it still leaves the franchise with an uncertain future.
A disappointing hotchpotch of borrowed ideas that pays homage to some of the best games of the 16-bit era but forgets to add anything of its own.
The Game Boy Color lives again, via an inventive top-down adventure that’s filled with clever design decisions and surprisingly nuanced combat and gameplay.
Not only an extremely authentic Bond adaptation but a masterful action adventure in its own right, that manages an impressive balance of storytelling and cinematic spectacle.
An oft-forgotten entry in the classic 2D shooter series gets a disappointingly sloppy remake, that can’t even offer an authentic version of the SNES original as an alternative.
Bubsy may be a cursed franchise, as despite the developer’s previous work this is a frustrating and frequently cringe-worthy 3D platformer, with some truly clunky gameplay.
A charming coffee shop sim that’s slow going but packs plenty of emotional wallop into its runtime, with a cast of colourful characters that are well worth the asking price to meet.
The closest thing to a new Batman: Arkham game there’ll be for many years and a great co-op adventure in its own right, that somehow manages to be unpredictable all the way through.
A giddying rush of fast cars, beautiful landscapes, and pounding music that never lets up; the forgiving driving model and continual feed of new events providing a conveyer belt of instant gratification.
A competent camping and survival game set in an unpopulated wilderness, whose lack of narrative structure, threat, or competitive elements leaves it feeling disappointingly hollow.
The makers of Until Dawn unleash a new interactive sci-fi horror, whose polish and narrative twists are undermined by under-informed choices and an awful lot of walking about in dimly lit corridors.
A heartwarming adventure about growing up, packed full of imagination and 90s snark, but its main strength is the way in which it manages to expertly capture what it feels like to be a young, bored teen on the verge of adulthood.
A near future third person sci-fi adventure whose believable characters, expressive animation, and glorious icy backdrops are undermined by a linear story with too little variety in its interactions.
