Despite its promising new mechanics that make conversation a game of strategy, the interaction between its characters lets The Council episode one down.
One of the best horror games ever made, this will scare you in incredibly clever ways and make you question everything you see.
A decent survival game with a rewarding, if uninspired, grind to its resource collecting and base management.
All Fe's colour, charm and cute make it utterly recommendable despite its flaws.
Both a great remaster and an enjoyable ‘new' game in its own right that takes you on a journey in a way few things can.
A triumph for the series and one of this generation's greatest games yet. Monster Hunter World takes the beating heart of a vital, niche franchise and elevates it toward universal appeal.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is not only true to its source material, but ranks among the best as a 2D fighting game. How long you stick with it might be entirely dependent on how much you love the series, though.
Still a fascinating and darkly magical murder mystery, despite its occasionally unclear signposting.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm is a brilliantly crafted prequel series that does well to highlight just how integral Rachel Amber is to the whole series' overarching story.
Consistently failing to meet the potential visible in any of its currently-slight content, Curse of Orisis does not satisfy as an expansion in its own right, or as an addition to the wider Destiny 2 ecosystem.
Beast-hunting will test your reflexes while cooking them up will tease your brain, and Battle Chef Brigade's upbeat attitude and stylish looks will have you smiling the whole way through.
If you skipped Sun and Moon last year, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are must-buys. Sci-fi storytelling, plenty of new content and adorable critters all included, but feels too soon a release to make the most of the innovation.
Motion controls add a breath of fresh air to a familiar game, with astounding results. A must-have for anyone with a Switch and a love of open world games.
A few technical hiccups and minor quibbles aside, Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 tops off a great year for comic book properties with a fun, varied adventure.
A very strong multiplayer offering tarnished by overly complicated character progression, and a lavish, beautiful story campaign lacking in substance or subtlety.
While still liable to take over your every waking hour, Football Manager 2018 takes the delicate balance of previous years and weighs it down with too many superfluous, or downright irritating, changes.
Sonic Forces is a spectacular but empty sugar rush that's over in a blur. Once again, Sonic's return to form falls flat.
Need for Speed Payback successfully returns to its Fast and Furious roots with aplomb, but a focus on the grind and a beautiful but empty world means it ultimately falls short of greatness.
Made for those who have devoured the whole of Horizon: Zero Dawn, this DLC isn't just about upping your game. It's a rich expansion of Aloy's world, with flashes of comedic brilliance and narrative depth.
COD has a few issues in single player this year but the overall package delivers another good shooter with plenty to do and some neat new online ideas.
