Technically it's still the best modern Sonic, if you don't count Sonic Mania, but time has not been particularly kind and neither has this unambitious remaster.
A decade later and El Shaddai still has some of the best art design in the business, even if its shallow but enjoyable combat can't match it for variety or imagination.
A better game than the earlier spin-off but Travis Touchdown's time is clearly over, even if he is still able to provide some entertainingly odd boss battles.
There's some mild improvement on last year's game but the Madden franchise still feels lost, with too little depth and too many bugs.
A series of darkly comic spy-themed VR escape rooms that revel in their ability to kill you in inventive and unexpected ways.
The definitive version of the game that set the blueprint for modern first person shooters.
It's trying its best with an obviously low budget but rather than replicating the tension and thrills of Aliens this has much more in common with one of its lacklustre sequels.
A great sequel that is just as surreal and imaginative as the original and manages to be both a silly comedy platformer and a surprisingly affecting character study of regret and lost love.
An audio-only RPG adventure which feels like a new benchmark for the genre, through challenging combat and excellent sound design.
The underlying game is still too reliant on the Ubisoft formula but the new content and Legends mode make Ghost Of Tsushima Director's Cut a notably better experience than the original at launch.
A clever and idiosyncratic time loop detective thriller with top notch voice acting, which suffers from circular gameplay that quickly descends into monotony.
A highly competent alternative to Civilization but the list of unequivocal improvements is disappointingly short, with an unfortunate lack of real innovation.
An enjoyable, likeable mash-up of dungeon crawler and dating sim undercut by simplistic combat and a short running time.
A beautifully structured, poignant, procedurally generated road movie, that's packed with character and intelligence.
A curious sequel whose simplified combat and lack of challenge undermines some of the best level design and puzzles in any recent Metroidvania.
A turn-based roguelike set in a universe that's similar to but legally distinct from Doom, and where every choice you make has immediate and long term consequences.
A cleverly constructed narrative adventure that explores serious issues of morality without ever being preachy, and still allowing for an intricately designed, non-linear gaming experience.
A thoroughly entertaining mix of Dark Souls and Zelda that has few genuinely new ideas but still manages to enthral with a unique charm of its own.
A deeply disappointing co-op shooter that squanders its excellent graphics on a bland and repetitive attempt to make a sci-fi Diablo.
A twisting and engaging portmanteau tale of the unexplained, set in a London that's refreshing in its finely observed normality.
