    Bethesda have taken the grandiose essence of The Elder Scrolls and diluted it into an MMORPG with some success, but there's still a way to go to fully realise that ambition.

    There may not be any real new features to speak of in Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection, apart from a difficulty selection and a lick of paint, but there is still a huge amount of very enjoyable gameplay.

    Indivisible is a wonderful blend of RPG and Metroidvania that has exciting battles and a world ripe for exploring.

    Islets is a gorgeous little indie that's definitely worth checking out if you’re a Metroidvania aficionado.

    The Pale Beyond is bleak and miserable in all the right ways, with a fantastic setting for a survival game.

    Blasphemous gets so much right, but also creates its own identity with its stellar art style, tight gameplay and platforming, and unique cast of characters.

    Symphonia is a great reminder of how Tales has hit such impressive highs in the past, and although the decision to port the technically inferior PS2 version leads to framerate gripes, this is perhaps the best version of Lloyd Irving and co that you are going to get without dragging your Gamecube out of the loft.

    Synapse is a successful roguelike that makes you feel stronger with each run, and while it won't blow you away, it's a fun time and makes great use of the PSVR2 features.

    The Fabulous Fear Machine features a unique pulp art style and some straightforward ideas that make it a wonderfully addictive strategy title.

    While it has a vast amount of ideas that work individually, Rain Code rather feels like a missed opportunity that doesn’t quite come together right.

    Corpse Party on Nintendo 3DS will scare you like nothing else can and it is is the near best version of the game on any platform.

    Little Red Lie is a fantastic narrative told over two different sides that will hit home often enough to exhaust you mentally.

    Kombinera is a simple but incredibly challenging puzzle platformer, and if your brain can handle it you’ll have a blast.

    Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus is simply a must play Metroidvania, with fantastic locomotion, gorgeous visuals and boss fights I won't forget in a hurry.

    Valiant Hearts tackles the harsh realities of what this war did to regular families. It tore people apart and, conversely, brought strangers closer together. It’s a beautiful tale of love and woe, with a consideration for the chilling realism of war.

    If you already own these games, I wouldn't necessarily recommend the XCOM 2 Collection, but otherwise it's worth it despite the concessions.

    With engaging dodgeball gameplay and enthralling RPG elements, Dodgeball Academia is one of the best games of the year so far.

    Circuit Superstars is a fun little racer that offers a challenge, harking back to the joy felt when playing Micro Machines back in the day.

    Pacific Drive is a punishing roguelike at times, but the thrill of each run provides plenty of variety and excitement in how you approach it.

    Apart from the new levels and Duke’s great sense of humour, this anniversary edition doesn’t do enough to drag you away from the wealth of current FPS titles.

    Baten Kaitos 1 & 2 HD Remaster brings two GameCube classics back from the dead, and they're still worth playing in 2023.

    Bomb Chicken is a fun little platformer that doesn't quite manage to balance its difficulty consistently throughout its entirety. Simple mechanics and an adorable fat hen do mean though that you'll have a good time for the most part.

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

    Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter builds on the original and makes it better in every way, with excellent combat and a strong story.

    Undeniably ambitious, Remedy's game certainly feels unique in many ways, but perhaps not in the ways that truly matter.

    Lunark harks back to a time when 90s platformers were at their best, managing to offer a fresh approach thanks to a gorgeous art style.

    World of Final Fantasy tries to give you the nostalgia feels, but is unable to recapture the magic of previous 'hyper-deformed' games.
    • 77 Metascore

    A delightful 2D character action game, with fluid combat that feels incredible. There are a ton of ideas packed into Super Crush KO's short runtime, and plenty of goals to chase after the credits.

    Stranger's Wrath remains a good game, but the awful touch controls mean you're better off skipping this mobile port.

    This is a brilliant title, and one I’m happy to see moving to every console possible. Buy this game to support meticulous design, and condemn mediocrity by doing so. Flinthook is marvelous, it’s outstanding, and although it’s bloody hard, it’s rewarding. It deserves another slice of love to be poured upon it nearly a year after initially hitting our gaming devices.
