The sun warms the scene and, for the first time, the world of Kentucky Route Zero feels tangible, whole, held together. After a week drifting through Cardboard Computer's elusive dream of a game, this was quite a moment. I can only imagine how it feels after seven years. [Eurogamer Recommended]

Gentle anarchy reigns in this brilliantly humourous adventure. [Eurogamer Recommended]

While its fighting is fun, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot doesn't do enough to carry the subpar side content.

Unable to combine the best of two beloved series, this JRPG can't really find its focus.

Wattam would be a simple little delight, if it weren't for its technical issues.

Tequila Works' teen-rated horror might surprise you with its shocks and creepy atmosphere, but it's a little thin.

Genesis may look like a departure, and it is in some ways. But at its core, it's the same old pleasures for this entirely pleasurable series, albeit with the odd new trick and delivered from a new perspective. [Eurogamer Recommended]

Playing Phoenix Point has been a powerful propulsion back through my past, pinballing me through 25 years of alien-fighting nostalgia. And if I still find myself returning to it again, keen to blow the floor out from under another tentacled terror the moment I finish this review, then you know it's got much more right than wrong. Even if I never reach the end, I will still have enjoyed the journey, and the friends (soldiers) I met (renamed as my friends) along the way.

Though, admittedly, expectations might have been a little low, Narcos: Rise of the Cartels is surprising in all the right ways. Its loading screens offer a stunning blend of animation and FMV straight from the show, and while the in-game graphics don't quite share the same slick polish and the combat can feel a little stale, Narcos: Rise of the Cartels is a thoughtful, unusual take on Escobar's legacy. Yeah, I'm a bit surprised, too.

A bewitching time capsule that transports us to late 80s China, and to turn-of-the-century video games. [Eurogamer Recommended]

Taito's comeback continues with this revival of its most famous series, and while it's slim the old magic remains.

Generic and boring, Terminator: Resistance's only redeeming feature is its fan service. [Eurogamer Avoid]

When I reached the end of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, I didn't feel like I'd had a rewarding experience. I was relieved it was over. With some side-meandering, it took around 30 hours, and I didn't enjoy a lot of them. I'll admit crunching a Souls-like in less than four days is an unnatural and gruelling experience: I imagine if I'd played Fallen Order over several months, I would have been less frustrated, but probably still bored. It's such a shame, as Fallen Order has an incredible gameplay experience at its core, with fantastic environments and well-directed action sequences. Yet it's unable to sustain this thanks to some fundamental design problems.

Pokémon Sword and Shield add some brilliant new creatures, but like their gargantuan Dynamax forms, the games feel like a hollow projection.

This is a puzzling masterclass with a heart as well as a brain. [Eurogamer Recommended]

Ghost Games strips back the recent excess to deliver a simple, satisfying take on the Need for Speed formula, even if some problems persist.

Hideo Kojma's first post-Metal Gear game is a messy, indulgent vanity project - but also a true original. [Eurogamer Recommended]

Infinity Ward rekindles the Modern Warfare magic with a more tactical first-person shooter - for better and for worse.

Mesmerising and thrilling, this is a puzzle game for the ages. [Eurogamer Essential]

The motion controls of the Wii original are stripped out for this remaster, leaving an entertaining if not quite excellent outing.

Night School Studios follows on its excellent work in Oxenfree with this touching look at the absurdity of life and video games. [Eurogamer Recommended]

A new spin on the series sees Next Level Games serve up character and charm in abundance. [Eurogamer Recommended]

Daniel Fortesque's tale is retold with style, but the fundamentals frustrate.

A conventional, easygoing scifi RPG with slightly wasted satirical elements that fades very quickly from the mind.

Arcade elegance meshes perfectly with a glorious wilderness. [Eurogamer Recommended]
