Rebellion has delivered a solid if not revolutionary game with Sniper Elite: Resistance — the formula still works beautifully, the Propaganda missions bring genuine fresh air to the series, and Harry Hawker is a sympathetic new protagonist, even if he hasn't quite reached Karl Fairburne's level yet.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure is a worthy continuation that proves Max Caulfield is still one of the best protagonists in video games — the parallel worlds mechanic opens fascinating narrative possibilities, and Deck Nine has proven that Life is Strange is in the best hands.

Rarely have I been so positively surprised by a new Call of Duty — after years of stagnation, Black Ops 6 feels like a genuine evolution. The Omnimovement system is not just a marketing gimmick but fundamentally changes how the game feels, and for the better.
