Exo One is an epic sci-fi journey in which you control a rolling, gliding spaceship, but despite its vast and dramatic vistas, it quickly grows repetitive.

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.

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.

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.

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.
