HomepageOne of the best roguelikes for a long time, whose randomised abilities work perfectly to add variety and unpredictability to its tale of an 80s style post-apocalypse.
For better and worse, a near perfect replication of mid-90s first person shooters, that makes you wistful for the old days… and secretly glad things have moved on in the meantime.
The original version had the potential to be a classic multiplayer horror game, but this updated edition still feels as hokey and unrefined as the movies it's based on.
It might all seem amusingly camp watching it on YouTube but playing this outdated and clumsy action game is nowhere near as entertaining as it looks.
A complex strategy game with some severe accessibility issues, especially on consoles, but give it a chance and it's a rewarding and deep sci-fi experience.

The casual fan will find plenty to enjoy but diehards will see Madden 20 as just another facelift to a franchise that knows how to succeed but struggles to innovate.
More than just XCOM with talking animals, this inventive strategy game has plenty of new ideas of its own – even if Seed Of Evil does little for the existing replayability issues.
A monstrously awful game that is subject to so many bafflingly awful design decisions it's lucky it doesn't collapse into a black hole of its own ineptitude.
Another technical marvel for PlayStation VR that looks amazing and makes clever use of the tech – it's just a shame the game is so incredibly short and so disappointingly dull.
A flawed but enjoyable co-op spin-off that's unfocused and scrappy but still manages to find lots of entertainingly imaginative ways to kill Nazis.
A disappointingly clumsy attempt to evolve the Fire Emblem formula, that takes little advantage of being on the Switch, but the anime melodrama and fun combat still entertains.
It looks as boring as it sounds but Automachef is a surprisingly engrossing game of logic and planning that refuses to dumb down for its audience.
A masterful reimagining of Tetris that changes little about the core gameplay but still manages to create one of the most immersive video games ever.
The best Advance Wars game never made, whose post-launch update smooths out the rough edges and creates a strategy game that's more accessible and fun than ever.
A sci-fi shooter-meets-RPG sabotaged by a lack of plot, weak character progression, and sluggish combat.
Shallow, stupid, and very repetitive but as long as you play with friends there's a goofy charm to what is, for better or worse, the best Marvel team-up game in a long while.
Its attempted revolution of turn-based tactics isn't quite as practical as it first seems but this is still an impressively fun, and funny, strategy game.
The best Contra game for decades, even if it's not an official sequel, with amusingly over-the-top action and a great co-op mode.
The best Advance Wars clone so far on the Switch, with tons of content, accessible controls, and deceptively deep gameplay.
