I can't get Fish Sticks out of my head. Not the food, but the stray cat with a squished face and stubby legs that I wrangled into my shack in Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel’s new roguelite strategy game, Mewgenics. The shop, the pub, the dentist; no matter where I go, I…
I was, like so many of my 1990s-born peers, a huge Sims girlie. I spent hundreds of hours as a teen and young adult making people I knew, characters from shows I was obsessing over, or original characters I wanted to experiment with, and diligently following their life paths and…
Battlefield 2042 is an FPS that has its fun moments, but is blighted by performance issues. Portal still holds great potential, but even that needs more time.
Growbot looks divine, but it's often too finicky for its own good. It's also very light on story despite being heavy on world-building.
Undungeon is a delirious action RPG set at the end of a dying universe in which time, space and combat mechanics are collapsing in on themselves.
Call Of Duty: Vanguard's multiplayer does just enough to be fun, but is largely unambitious. Zombies is a similar story and lacks any weight.
It may not be a radical change, but Football Manager 2022 is still one of the best management experiences around.
The overarching story is a little muddled, but Moncage is a smart and elegant puzzle game that harks back to the mechanical wizardry of The Room.
Jurassic World Evolution 2 makes changes to the DNA of its predecessor, but remains a great adaptation stretched over an inconsistent management game.
A short frolic through a stunning apocalypse, with combat that compellingly blends katana strikes and gunfire. Just don’t think about the story.
An unremarkable FPS story set in World War 2. Has moments of spectacle and is largely quite fun, but feels like you're a gun on-rails, hardly a war hero.
Compact puzzle game Unpacking tells a lovely story without words, leaves you room for interpretation, and invites you to be playful. It's absolutely lovely.
Forza Horizon 5 isn't the best racing game ever made, but it is a contender for best driving game. A little overly familiar, but it is refreshingly wholesome.
It harks back to 3D platformers of yore, but Demon Turf is so much more than a Banjo Kazooie-like.
Voice Of Cards isn't so much a card game as it is a JRPG in card game clothing, but its simple, repetitive battle system fails to make much of an impression.
Top marks for its voxel artwork and neat twist on turn-based combat, but Echo Generation's tired collection of retro story tropes leave it feeling undercooked.
A chaotically structured open world racer, Riders Republic feels like the free-roaming SSX sequel we never had.
