Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is an endless parade of references and gags that's difficult to resist. Our review.

Planet Coaster 2's flexible creation tools are as compulsive as ever, but the fun butts up against an exhausting UI and uninspired management gameplay.

Angela Burnes, a protagonist you only see caught in the reflections of the surfaces that she dutifully polishes, is a k…

Destiny's developer Bungie has recently got into the habit of referring to last September's release and the two subsequ…

Neon Struct's greatest achievement though is in its brooding storyline, told through tense phone conversations, brief chats on the streets and, most vividly, through the sense of fear you feel when you're kicked out of a supporting institution of near-omniscient power, to a place of want and hiding. The narrative is told with a light touch (characters have names such as Vinod Chhibber and Director Furtwengler) but it feels weighty and relevant, without tipping into blunt moralising. The best kind of science fiction thriller then: one dressed in the style of the future, but engaged with the pressing issues of the present.

A majestic, earthy open-world adventure with great integrity and personality, this is the best role-playing game in years.

A charmingly presented but tediously repetitive seafaring RPG that fails to make a big enough splash.

A blaster to be mastered, Not a Hero's combat is flexible but strains against a tight leash.

And once the final mission's done there's a scamper up the difficulty levels, alongside endless, custom and time attack modes, the latter of which works a bit like speed chess, but with people getting whacked over the head. In truth, while pleasant, this is a covering of the bases that Invisible, Inc doesn't really need. Much like the lives of one of its secret agents, this is a game defined by short, sharp thrills. It's so filled with purpose that is has no need to outstay its welcome.

Tried and trusted gameplay is boosted with a generous, if slightly monotonous, serving of genuinely fresh content in this budget prequel.

Laden with features and options, Project Cars rewards patient players with an authentic and exciting circus of motorsport.

Eventually, Kerbal Space Program becomes a game about triumph. Getting into space. Landing on the moon. Mastering physi…

War for the Overworld isn't Dungeon Keeper 3 but, buggy as it can be, it sometimes gets close.

Why would Sonya Blade fall in love with Johnny Cage? Mortal Kombat X does not even attempt to solve this riddle, choosi…

An improvement over its predecessor, with some welcome new ideas, this is lacking in depth and long term appeal.

In Titan Souls every strike is fatal. At a glance there appear to be no fair fights in these dainty hills and valleys, …
