The one LucasArts game that didn't need a remaster gets one anyway, but it can't do anything for the game's brevity or lack of challenge.
One of the best retro remakes there's ever been, and although the gameplay sometimes shows its age the graphics are amongst the best of the year.
Despite some notable missteps, this peculiar mix of macabre storytelling and 2D puzzle-solving still has an interesting story to tell.
Arguably a better follow-up to Hotline Miami than its own sequel, but it wastes its best idea on repetitive action that lacks any substantial challenge.
It’s a pity the pricing isn’t as accessible as the action, but this is a fun and unusual online shooter that suits PlayStation VR surprisingly well.
An inspired mix of graphic adventure and Majora's Mask style time travel, that offers some of the year's most inspired puzzle-solving.
The price alone will put most people off, but underneath that, and the obnoxious dialogue, is one of the most original first person shooters of the last gen.
One of the most unique-looking shooters of recent years, but not necessarily in a good way. Especially not when the action is this unrefined and purposefully annoying.
The definitive version of the hidden gem in the Lego games catalogue, although the formula is so overused by now it no longer feels quite as fresh as it did.
It perfectly fulfils its brief of being a new Banjo-Kazooie game in all but name, but Yooka-Laylee’s reliance on nostalgia may struggle to find new fans.
One of the most influential rhythm action games ever made, but the graphics and gameplay are definitely show their age – remaster or not.
A tedious trawl through the worst aspects of roguelikes, turn-based strategy, and bad interface design. Only somehow less fun than that sounds.
The best point ‘n’ click adventure since the glory days of LucasArts, filled with smart dialogue and even smarter puzzles.
A great concept with a perfect mix of retro modern gameplay and aesthetics, even if the idea never evolves to have real legs.
One of the best role-playing games ever made, Japanese or otherwise, and beyond that simply one of the most stylishly told interactive stories you’ll ever experience.
One of the best-looking 2D games ever made, but the beautiful animation can’t compensate for the tediously unfair gameplay.
As satisfying an ending as Dark Souls was ever going to get, with some shocking story revelations and memorable boss battles.
A rousing send-off for one of Nintendo’s strangest mascots, and a satisfying conclusion to one of the best puzzle franchises of the last few years.
A welcome return for one of the forgotten masters of Metroidvania, and an excellent example of how to remaster a retro classic.
In so many ways this feels like a driving game from another age, but no matter how much you miss old school arcade racers FlatOut 4 will end up driving you crazy.
