Whether you're sitting down for a quick coffee break adventure, or an all-night binge, Hand of Fate delivers in spades.

Resident Evil returns to its horror roots, and is all the better for it in a game that was designed to be played in VR.

As the most expansive instalment in the franchise to date, Far Cry 6 is literally the GTA V of Far Cry games, with a solid story, vibrant, engaging characters and no shortage of things to do alone or online with a friend; for FPS action-adventure fans this is a MUST BUY.

Resident Evil Village VR practically becomes a new game on the PSVR 2, thanks to Capcom taking every advantage of the hardware and wrapping its gothic horror goodness around players to maximum effect.

Team Ninja knocks it out of the park with their take on Samurai Dark Souls.

“Faith” continues Life is Strange 2’s examination of a broken system to showcase a series at its most powerful.

Resident Evil 3 joins its forbearer as another top notch remake. I’m happy to see what Capcom has been doing with the series and wonder where they’ll take it next.

Dying Light 2: Stay Human promises much more of the franchise’s now familiar first-person, parkour-combat action, weapon crafting mechanics that continue to border on the ridiculous, and open-world exploration and loot-hunting we’ve become accustomed to.

Lies of P may not be Bloodborne 2, nor was it ever trying to be, and to say it’s the game to tide you over until we get a true sequel to Bloodborne feels like a massive disservice to the incredible game that it is. It is a worthy addition to the pantheon of incredible Souls-likes and in the same way I fell in love with Bloodborne only moments after playing it, I’ve fallen in love with Lies of P. It does everything right, minus a few technical hiccups, and carves a name for itself wholly its own. I’d say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but this isn’t immigration. This is elevation...Lies of P exceeds its SoulsBorne inspirations and is easily one of the best games of the year.

Garden Story is a wonderful and unique take on the sim-adventure genre, and it’s definitely worth a look.

The Outer Worlds 2 feels like it improves upon everything from the first game. The writing is much better, the gameplay feels tighter, and the whole game feels like a reminder of why Obsidian is loved.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown combines the fundamentals of a Turn-Based Strategy with the mechanics of an arcade Beat ‘Em Up for a truly unique strategic experience.

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.

This might be a re-issue, but it’s still easily one of the greatest titles that you’ll ever play on the 3DS.

OFF isn’t for everyone, but it’s a must play if you’re not everyone, and fans of Undertale must try this game.

Two Point Hospital manages that fine balance of nostalgia and new idea while making for a brilliant and fun management sim.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 heralds the return of the Nintendo Wii's best game, improved to a dazzling starry shine on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.

I can’t think of another game that manages to evoke the themes it presents to players so well. In every way imaginable, from the plot, to the scenery, to the music, and even to the combat system, I am Setsuna wants players to question their mortality, the time they have left, and the decisions they can make in that time.

Nioh 3 takes the best elements of the series past and Team Ninja's legacy in delivering one of the most fun and feature-rich action games to start off the new year.

With its impeccable presentation, its focus on history, and its ability to remix its challenges to make decades-old games feel brand new, Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 + 2 is a necessity for Mega Man fans.

The Homeworld collection is a fantastic and complex RTS that will challenge players with an almost intimidating amount of depth of choice.

Shin Megami Tensei V is an excellent Switch exclusive worthy of its name, with the game feeling like the natural next step in the long-running series while introducing new elements that elevate it above even its contemporaries while not straying too far from its roots, offering fans a must-play experience and for everyone else, a JRPG worth jumping into.
