    Pragmata, with its marvellous merging of hacking, movement and gunplay, was a blast to play from start to finish. While the story stumbles a little in the early hours, it wasn’t enough to slow down what ended up being a great experience.

    If on pitch action is what you value over everything else, then you can’t go wrong with PES 2017.

    DJMax Respect is easily the hardest music game I've ever played but is also the most jam-packed with songs right on the disc and plenty of content to unlock. While it doesn't feature household named like Aerosmith or other lesser rock bands, it has a little something for everyone.

    Nioh 2 takes a solid foundation and improves upon it in nearly every way with more weapons, more skills, and a whole new approach to Guardian Spirits.

    Octopath Traveler 2 makes a number of improvements to the original, yet it is still an extremely similar game — for better and for worse.

    Despite a few hardware hiccups, Two Point Hospital’s madcap brand of simulation fun transitions nicely to the Nintendo Switch.

    A novel twist on familiar gameplay elements, Yakuza Zero once again delivers a unique blend of real-world immersion, humanistic storytelling, and some of the best action gameplay on the market.

    Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is quite a stunning port with various modes and features to enhance the playthrough, but could be too demanding sometimes, especially in the Phantom Liberty expansion.

    The dynamic lighting, stadium details, and player designs are astounding. The gameplay can be punishingly realistic or a cartoony home run derby depending on how you customize your experience.

    The Switch version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is a worthwhile compromise, bringing the same high-quality gameplay to Nintendo with less visual sheen.

    The overall product is great, and while it might be reductive it is also accurate to call this game more Destiny. The majority of changes are positive, and they are built on a solid foundation of gameplay. When people look back on this franchise in the coming years I have a feeling that Destiny 2 will be seen as a turning point.

    The Alters is a masterfully crafted sci-fi adventure about survival, self-discovery, and learning to live with the version of yourself who tried a little harder.

    Yakuza Kiwami 2 is perfect for anyone looking to experience the best of the early Yakuza titles without sacrificing the refined gameplay mechanics and visuals.

    While AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES – nirvanA Initiative is enjoyable in both story and gameplay, at times it’s a hard game to recommend to anyone going in blind who doesn’t enjoy the puzzle aspect of games, so having a guide to get past certain moments will only help.

    WipEout Omega Collection is a fantastic update that runs as smooth as a supersonic hovercraft.

    A Space for the Unbound tries to stand on its story, but wraps it in a gameplay that is unbearably tedious.

    Europa Universalis V ushers in what will likely be a new golden age for this grand strategy franchise, even if it currently needs some fine-tuning.

    Ratchet & Clank is the best mascot action platformer game since the classics such as Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot on the original PlayStation and at the budget price of $39.99 it is easily recommendable for those looking to relive those days.

    The new bells n’ whistles don’t add much, but when something this good ain’t broke why fix it?

    While a mostly fun experience, Kirby and the Forgotten Land definitely forgets a lot of the things that make the pink puffball’s games so unique.

    Three Kingdoms, to me, represents the best of both the historical and fantasy sides of the franchise. It creates stories that are compelling to play through and watch, using a vast number of systems working in harmony to achieve it. It creates the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows, and it does it all while still improving upon the Total War formula.

    The Hundred Line - Last Defence Academy is a pretty solid turn-based strategy game buried under an avalanche of terrible anime tropes and mediocre storytelling.

    Death Stranding the Director's Cut is the definitive way to experience the game and is worth checking out for those who may have missed it on other platforms.

    Shovel Knight Dig is a worthy entry to a solid game series; fans of platforming should jump down the well with this one.
