A gorgeous world, bursting with personality. Great storytelling makes up for the short length and unchallenging puzzles.
A gorgeous, relentlessly entertaining open-world piracy simulator packed with interesting 18th century rogues.
A great world and an interesting story, but this short second entry lacks the tense decision-making of the first.
Infuriatingly difficult, but perfectly constructed. Ikaruga is the PC's best bullet-hell shooter.
Slow, technically flawed and dogged by premium microtransactions. A sorry take on a classic card game.
A magnificent city full of exciting assassination missions, marred by broken co-op and technical issues.
A confident remaster of a true classic. The puzzles have aged badly, but the sparkling humour and world design still shine.
Sharp and deeply satisfying combat carries this imaginative, occasionally cringe-worthy tale, but don't bother if you played the 2013 original.
A worthy upgrade to one of the best strategy games ever, featuring the best space battles in the business.
Sloppy combat and ongoing optimisation can't quite spoil this dark fantasy adventure, set in a stunning world of blood and black magic.
DMC4's savage swordsmanship still entertains, in spite of reheated levels and uninspired puzzles, and the addition of Lady introduces an explosive new style of combat to Devil May Cry's armoury.
Exceptionally tough, rewarding strategy and a masterful reworking of the XCOM formula. We'll play this forever.
Even in its immutable, heavily cutscene driven form, The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine is an accomplished piece of genre fiction with some characters I'll come to miss. Pour a goblet of the red stuff and join them, you won't be disappointed.
A few technical issues aside, Quadrilateral Cowboy is a clever puzzle game bursting with personality.
Impossible to recommend ahead of the PC version because of some issues with the port, but nonetheless one of the most unique experiences on console.
A moving adventure starring an extraordinary companion. Framerate issues intrude, but don't let them stop you from finishing this wonderful game.
An accomplished piece of fan service, but the excitement fades fast and performance problems spoil it for some.
The new classes and super villains are excellent, even if the expansion bloats the campaign a little.
Gorgeous guns, a glittering universe, and a great port. Destiny 2 is an endgame away from true excellence.
A decent port of a great Final Fantasy with one of the cleverest combat systems in RPGs.
