Not the most attention grabbing of the PSVR launch titles, but a competent puzzler, that offers a more mellow VR experience.
The story campaign can be a little bland, at least when playing on your own, but otherwise this does a fine job of bringing Gears into the current gen.
For better and worse a very useful introduction to VR gaming, with a wide range of games that demonstrate the potential, and pitfalls, of PlayStation VR.
The best tech demo so far for PlayStation VR, but with some better storytelling it could also have been a good game in its own right.
A slight improvement on the disappointing Bangkok level, but the lack of traditional Hitman thrills don’t make this a mission to remember.
Being better than the other Sonic Boom games really isn’t a compliment, as this dull, ugly platformer continues to sully the memory of Sega’s once great mascot.
The stuff that is genuinely new is very good, but there’s so little of it that the sense of déjà vu, in a game that is already so repetitious, becomes overwhelming.
The Journey is an almost unqualified success, but in terms of on-pitch action FIFA 17 is comfortably outclassed by PES 2017.
A great 2D shooter in its own right, but the customisability and four-player options make it one that even non-fans can enjoy.
Some may dismiss it as just another pretentious walking sim, but this innovative Lynchian drama is one of the best story-based games of the year.
Telltale Games continue to be a formidable supervillain, and manage to turn Batman into the one thing he should never be: boring.
Easily the best Battlefront DLC so far, although it’s still only scratching the surface of what can be done in the Star Wars universe.
The best Forza Horizon so far, and thanks to its huge open world and infectious sense of fun one of the best arcade racers of the current gen.
Time has worn some holes in each games’ reputation, but these are still three of the most ambitious and daring action games of modern times.
An excellent remake of a game that represents one of the logical extremes of Japanese role-players, and yet remains surprisingly endearing despite its flaws.
An unexpectedly brave attempt to once again rewrite the rules on Pac-Man, resulting in another near-classic arcade experience.
More a refinement than a revolution, but this builds on the achievements of last year’s game to ensure one of the finest sports games ever created.
A highly peculiar social game that seems to revel in the mundanity of its gameplay, despite some intriguing ideas and visuals.
The latest episode in gaming’s most endearing soap opera has some minor script problems, but it’s still a joy to catch up with old friends and new enemies.
Beautiful animation and an authentic Nordic feel enhance an already impressively distinct 2D action adventure.
