Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers is a long, convoluted name for a confounding, deceptive, mischievous, compelling game.

As far as frantic FPS's go, this is one of the best, but poor AI and a ramped up difficulty might prove too much for some.

If you enjoyed the challenging combat and metroidvania-lite exploration, Steelrising: Cagliostro's Secrets certainly provides more of both.

Atomic Heart embraces lunacy, overblown sexuality, and violence at every turn, and feels simultaneously polished and yet painfully unrefined.

At times Ultimate Alliance 3 becomes a little repetitive, but Team Ninja have crafted a likeable scrapper that sets out to entertain, and succeeds in doing just that.

While the difficulty won’t appeal to everyone, there’re plenty of obstacles to overcome especially if you thrive on one hell of a challenge.

Lovely Planet is deceptively hard and surprisingly time-consuming, but its reliance on simplicity may divide opinion.

The controls are responsive and it takes no time to get the hang of what you’re doing – though mastering each course will take considerably longer.

The Surge offers an interesting world to explore, and a few new tricks that set it apart from the competition, but often falls short of its inspiration due to wonky combat and uninspired enemy designs.

A decent game for those with an action RPG itch, but how much you like to repeat tasks will determine how much enjoyment you derive from it.

The Spectrum Retreat is a solid puzzler, with an immersive narrative undercurrent adding depth and emotion to a genre where such things are normally lacking. Look past certain repetitive sections and you'll find a title offering value for money and an enjoyable challenge.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox has some smart puzzles and a great art style, but it's let down by repetitive combat and unresponsive traversal.

Overpass 2 is a different kind of racer, but if you're willing to stick with it, there's a decent amount of fun to be had.

At a higher player count, the chaos get's too much, but when it's at its best, #IDARB is a hell of a lot of fun.

Curious Expedition 2 is a seriously odd, fiendishly difficult, yet somehow weirdly charming experience that sucks you in against your better judgement.

A great first impression soon fails to deliver on its potential, with the promise of time travelling adventure soon falling to education. Mind you, getting eaten by massive underwater monsters is really cool. [Tested with Vive]

Despite its weird, war-focused beginning, Sonic Forces turns out to be a fun return to form for Sonic Team.

Cozy Grove is a beautiful and relaxing game, but might be a little too repetitive for some people.

It can be quite frustratingly difficult at times, and the constant geeky references to everything from Star Wars to the worlds of Gary Gygax may not sit well with everyone – one particular misfiring side quest involving bureaucrats may be enough to turn off some gamers – but for those who enjoy old school platform action, this generously sized Spanish-crafted effort will be manna from heaven.

Turns out playing with yourself is a lot of fun. Who knew? However, despite some neat Easter eggs, the fun of slaughtering cartoon spectators with balls and rackets, and the pleasantly compelling tennis itself, there’s very little content on offer for the price. [Tested with Vive]

Despite Larry himself not changing in thirty years, Wet Dreams Don't Dry still feels relevant, self-aware and has some decent puzzles for fans of the genre too.

Almost as simple as a shooter can get, Puppygames’ space blaster owes its success to our inability to be satisfied by a personal best. The premise and genre make more sense on the Vita than the PS4 (though options are always nice to have), but Titan Attacks is charmingly simple and hugely playable on any format.

Despite one or two issues, Mini Motor Racing X is a fast, frantic and fun little game that offers bitesize racing for everyone.

If you’ve always wanted to play System Shock but never had the chance, then this remake is the ideal entry point for you.

If you’ve been craving more Senran Kagura after Estival Versus or just want a fun brawler with anime titillation, Valkyrie Drive is for you.

Final Vendetta is a love letter to classic beat-em-ups like Streets of Rage and Final Fight, offering just enough to keep you playing.

Oddities with drift handling aside, this is as classic as arcade racers get, and for track-based thrills and spills, you could do a lot worse.

Those not familiar with Dragonball Z will find the story invisible, but those with a soft spot for the classic series, and a few mates with which to team up and reminisce will find something far more creative and exciting than most recent games based on the franchise.
