"You'll need to stop and familiarize yourself with a monster and its attacks if you want to succeed"
Horizon Call of the Mountain is a touch of magic, bringing the Horizon world to life in first person on PSVR 2. It's stunning, captivating, and never loses sight of what made Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West so special.
It's not often that the promotion campaign might be more enjoyable than the final product, but Wanted: Dead may have to grin and bear this ignominy. Despite some effort to subvert genre norms with its characters and amusing mini-games, the core action is bogged down by low production values, imbalance, and repetition. For every moment it hits its stride, there's another where it stubs its toe, and some slick execution animations are as imaginative as it gets.
While some elements of its design feel antiquated, stunning changes made to Metroid Prime's visual design, performance, and controls are enough to breathe new life into one of the greatest video games of all-time. Whether this is your first journey to Talon IV or a return trip, Metroid Prime Remastered is well worth your time and attention.
Hogwarts Legacy is a solid first attempt. If Avalanche can be accused of anything, it's that the studio has tried to do too much all at once. Something was always going to give – between the massive open world, the messy RPG economy, exciting action combat, and adventure story that wants to cast you as a hero with homework due on Monday.
Hi-Fi Rush is a harmonious cacophony of raunchy rock 'n' roll and character-driven action
Motive Studio's Dead Space is a horror remake done right.
Season's ability to tell small human stories is admirable amidst its calming gameplay, even if it doesn't fully explore its big talking points.
"Barring a few rare setpieces, Forspoken seems to prefer to tell rather than show"
Fire Emblem Engage is sadly a missed opportunity to tie together a new cast of characters with the heroes of old.
There's an Achievement permanently tied to my account now that claims I spent "15 hours at the very real in-game alien strip club." To all my friends and family who may one day read this: I promise that isn't true.
Some elements of Crisis Core shine, while others are left in the past
A fantastic looking game that builds a great sci-fi world only to trash it with an unenjoyable combat challenge.
At 4K/60, Need for Speed Unbound is a clear showcase for the new generation of consoles"
"As Darktide's levels aren't grouped into acts, it's much harder for Fatshark to tell coherent stories across them"
"Life in the Abbey becomes something of a cross between XCOM 2 and Fire Emblem: Three Houses"
An entertaining remix of familiar action mechanics and narrative tropes, Evil West is a solid modern beat-em-up that puts combat first.
Floodland is a city builder that triumphs because it focuses on its citizens as much as the city. A strong narrative both in its story and in your interactions with the clans means constant decision-making that'll always make you think in a way that city builders rarely do.
"The open world inherently changes so much for the series that it needed a total ground-up rethink of the mechanics"
Warzone 2 makes a good first impression. While it shares some similarities with its predecessor, Infinity Ward has delivered a more tactical battle royale that smartly subverts expectations.
