Not quite a misfire but while the action is highly entertaining this time-looping adventure squanders much of its premise on disappointingly straightforward objectives and a curiously tame portrayal of unchecked hedonism.
A well designed, turn-based roguelike with a winning art style and a wide variety of options – even if it is a bit too random.
A charming addition to the Life Is Strange franchise that has one of the best branching narratives in any video game and one of the most likeable set of characters.
The least interesting WarioWare entry so far, with overcomplicated multiplayer characters and microgames that seem to have lost their sense of manic invention.
A successful attempt to modernise and broaden the appeal of the Tales series without completely abandoning its JRPG roots.
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.
