After many years of missteps, Mortal Kombat is, at last, back to its 2D glory. The latest chapter of the franchise will satisfy even the most demanding fans of the series, offering a wealth of offline modes, including probably the best Story Mode we have ever seen in the fighting genre.

The most epic trilogy of this generation ends in an almost perfect way. It doesn't matter whether you're a fan of the franchise or not. You owe it to yourself to save Earth.

It gives players the ability to enjoy an excellent remaster of three classic platformers and the adventures of an iconic character in one, single package.

What begun as an experiment in Playroom and Playroom VR evolved into a fully fledged and quite revolutionary platfomer that changes everything for the genre in VR. Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is a must-have for PSVR owners and one of the most cleverly designed and enjoyable games of the year.

A great transition to the new generation of consoles with beautiful graphics, a superbly updated fighting system and a lot of extra content.

A breathtaking reboot of Lara Croft's adventures, the new Tomb Raider puts aside some of its legacy in favor of a more modern feel and gameplay. Old school fans may find this a bit unsettling, but no matter what type of gamer you are, Tomb Rider is one hell of a ride.

The new Iki Island expansion offers a compelling story and a new area for fans to explore. The technical improvements for PlayStation 5 make a great game even better, and anyone who hasn’t experienced Jin’s journey should definitely try out the Director’s Cut edition.

This is the way FPS games should be created.
