An authentic enough adaptation, Mordheim is deliberately hard and borderline impenetrable to the initiated. Approach with caution.

It’s been great revisiting two wonderful games, but the framerate drops and lighting changes take away much of the charm of playing them.

Vermintide is an under-appreciated gem with loads of replayability and heaps of atmosphere.

If you’ve been craving a Valkyrie Profile or just an RPG with a unique visual style and fun combat system, Exist Archive is the game for you. It is good to see more RPGs like this on home console in a time when most JPRG developers are ditching the big screen.

Some of WWE 2K17 is brilliant, especially with the well animated moves, some new mechanics and a huge roster. Sadly, however, all the good is undermined by awful presentation.

Horror elements are overcooked and, alongside seriously limited interactions, lead to a game that’s not half as frightening as it thinks it is.

A fun game that lacks depth but makes up for it in with charm and the fact anyone can play and enjoy it. [Tested with Oculus Rift]

One of the scariest experiences I’ve ever had in gaming with its nerve-racking atmosphere and grotesque enemies.

A great entry point for newcomers, but a game that will might feel too familiar for series fans to truly fall in love with.

With a fantastic story at its centre, it’s such a shame the open world is quiet and unappealing, and the control system struggles in hostile environments.

The single player is one of the best I’ve ever seen, only made better with a beautiful score and excellent gameplay rich with authenticity.

It’s Animal Crossing, with Disney characters, action sequences and a better-defined “goal”. What’s not to like about that?

A huge, bright, and endlessly charming adventure filled with things to do and stuff to unlock.

DEXED brings the classic on-rails shooter genre into a new dimension splendidly and does a superb job of teasing an intriguing concept for a full game. [Tested with HTC Vive]

Ride 2 aims to be the two-wheeled equivalent of Gran Turismo, but makes too many mistakes that leave it trailing behind the pack.

With its 1080p resolution and crisper visuals, you’ll find very little reason to not pick this up and play. This is the best that Rez has ever been.

It might take itself far too seriously, but RIGS delivers where it matters: the gameplay. One of the best games in the PSVR launch lineup.

There are some great ideas in many of the mini-games and the humour is great, but the controls are frustrating and detract from the fun.

You’ll spend ages playing through the different levels and adore every single step. The music is great, the visuals are better and everything comes together perfectly.

There's simply no denying that this is an exceptional package, and although it may be a year overdue, it was absolutely worth the wait.

WRC 6 is a great addition to the series and is genuinely good fun, but despite its accessibility is still only likely to appeal to fans of the sport.

Relaxing and compelling, with Dragon Quest Builders if you’ve struggled to get into the genre with building games in the past this might just be the game that changes your mind.

Considering that Fractured Space is a free-to-play MOBA, there’s a great strategy involved, providing some really tense firefights on the battlefield.

Gears of War returns with a bang. Consistently thrilling and relentlessly entertaining, Gears 4 is comfortably one of the best shooters of the generation so far.

It feels harsh to say this as there’s plenty of love and care on show, but VR Worlds feels like it should be a pack-in product. Not because it’s bad, quite the opposite in fact: it’s good at showcasing what VR can do on PS4, but it doesn’t have anything approaching real staying power. With larger, more full VR games out there, VR Worlds is a curio to use when showing off your shiny new product, but one that’s otherwise consigned to the shelf.

Minor crinkles can’t stop Paper Mario from being a frankly excellent experience and one that you, yes you, should play.

A genuinely scary on-rails rollercoaster shooter, Rush of Blood takes Until Dawn in a new direction without losing any of the horror.

It’s not quite ready yet to replace the style and brilliance of the Arkham series as your go-to Batman game, but this could be the beginning of a very special new relationship with Batman, and I sincerely hope we get more like this.
