An instant must-play for Soulslikers, with fantastic flexibility in its combat and old fashioned rigidity in its challenges.

A retro-styled FPS where copious mutants make excellent grind rails for your chainsaw leg, only its momentum is bruised by an oddly paced episodic structure.

An action adventure with endearing six-out-of-ten jank, carried by weighty combat with heaps of style and customisation.

A low-stakes team shooter where racing to slay dinosaurs has its wow moments, only most of them are locked behind a baffling disrespect for one's time.

A chaotic kart racer with wonderfully imagined open zones, imaginative tracks, and robust building tools, hampered by meaningless live service progression.

A hollow open world FPS which feels more like you're playing through an already abandoned live service, as opposed to a fully supported one.

Mr. Saitou is a wonderful, short RPG which sees a troubled salaryman rediscover bits of himself, all thanks to a bright kid with a dream of his own. And while there's some serious bits in there, Shigihara cleverly ensures that the overarching theme of Japan's working culture is presented as laughable - because it is. Ultimately, business is weird, so make sure it's your business to give the game a whirl.

Team Ninja has streamlined Nioh with dashes of Sekiro, but it stands on its own as a Soulslike with, arguably, the crispest combat out there.

An 1800s action-adventure that's sure to both delight longtime Yakuza fans and make for a perfect entry point into the series for newcomers.

Wanted: Dead has the briefest, briefest glimpses of good, but this third-person action game is a frustrating mess in almost every regard.

Iterates on the first Warzone with tweaks that make your decisions more meaningful, all backed up by a new map and DMZ mode that make this a complete Call Of Duty package.

Probably the best Sonic has been for a while, with open zones that make for scrappy fun and incredible frustration in your hunt for the Chaos Emeralds.

Gotham Knights is action-RPG that wraps what could've been a wonderfully realised Gotham universe in a tired, slapdash mix of meaningless numbers and loot.

A bite-sized tabletop battler that successfully digifies miniatures, even if it needs more time to flesh itself out.

Serial Cleaners is a stealth-action 'em up that makes murder-cleaning a fun task that rewards patience or chaos.
