If you missed The Thaumaturge before now, it’s well worth investigating the PS5 version.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy brings the last three mainline Ace Attorney games to modern consoles, and they're just as good as ever.

Hey! Pikmin isn’t a long game but throughout it’ll capture your heart just as regularly as Olimar captures Pikmin.

Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club is a superbly told story, and is engaging from start to finish.

Filled with secrets and dangers, Remnant 2: The Dark Horizon is a solid final offering for the three promised expansions.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is a wonderful way to play a classic of the genre, with gorgeous visuals and super fast combat.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox on PS5 is a huge improvement on last year's release, with fluid and responsive combat being its best feature.

God of War will never be Shakespeare, but it’s a bloody good time that doesn’t take the player for granted. Maybe that’s why it was remastered, after all, then: to remind us of what games can be, if we just let them take us on a journey. A daft, angry, bald journey, led by a screaming topless Adonis that lets us kill everything that moves. Fair play, Sony.

The best Halo campaign since Reach, Guardians is a return to form - but more Chief next time, please, and less microtransactions.

Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless might just be the best game in the series, with engaging tactics gameplay and a whole lot of charm.

Turbo Kid is a Metroidvania where you can summon a bike at the push of a button, and that is absolutely as cool as it sounds.

Xenonauts 2 is filled with complexities and challenges, but the tactical options keeps you on your toes and offers an exciting gameplay loop.

Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns is a relaxing and charming experience full of heart that improves upon its predecessors in a lot of ways while still remaining accessible.

The variety of bosses is strong and the combat/reward loop is wonderfully addictive. If nothing else, the fact that every Behemoth, armour set and weapon can be unlocked without spending a penny makes it well worth checking out."

The Following is a huge expansion that swaps the ruined city for the rugged countryside, but loses none of the desperate thrills of the original campaign.

Scoot Kaboom and the Tomb of Doom is an exceptional platformer, with constant new mechanics, perfect controls and loads of interesting game modes

It may not bring anything truly new to the genre, but Convergence: A League of Legends Story is a great time nonetheless.

In The Pathless, Giant Squid have created a beautiful world worth getting lost in, a cause worth fighting for, and a hero worth following.

Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout on Nintendo Switch is a fantastic conversion.

Trails of Cold Steel II cements my personal belief that Falcom is leagues ahead of almost everyone when it comes to RPGs, although their games are still let down by some technical issues.

Making small improvements over previous games not only adds up to WRC 8 being the best in the series, it’s also one of the best rally games around.

An engaging tale full of twists and turns, with an interesting way of interacting with the narrative. If you can handle the slow pace and stomach the perverse moments, you'll find a stylish adventure with one of the best soundtracks of the year.

An old school arcadey shooter with a great style, Battlezone is addictive, accessible fun.

Solasta: Crown of the Magister is an authentic D&D experience, with great tactical combat and plenty of deep systems to chow down on.

Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights is a compelling, surprisingly charming little adventure. It may look dark and oppressive, but Lily is a likeable heroine.

Torchlight II is a superb addition to your library and an absolute blast alone or with friends.

Jackbox is back once again and it’s better than ever with a sequel to a fan favourite, a Family Fortunes-style quiz and perhaps the best game Jackbox have ever created. Only a couple of duds, which still do have their moments, let it down.

Void Bastards is a fantastic strategic shooter than has a wonderfully refreshing take on the FPS genre.
