One Many Nobody is a fun enough puzzle platformer, but one that never really manages to break through to greatness.

Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway isn’t a bad kart racing game, but technical issues and some issues with track design make it hard to recommend to all but the biggest Nickelodeon fans.

Two top tier games come together in the same package as the PS5 got, only now there's Steam Deck support, and wider PC support: what's not to love about Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection on PC?

Asobo Studios have delivered a runaway hit with A Plague Tale: Requiem. This is the very best kind of sequel: one that builds upon everything that came before and pays homage to its predecessor, while still carving its own path. Breathtaking.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is a brilliant sequel full of fun moreish combat and deep customisation that’s only let down by the speed of the battles and a heavy front-loading of ideas.

The Last Oricru has some decent ideas and will scratch an itch for fans of Risen, but it’s not quite good enough to overshadow its peers.

Persona 5 Royal is quite frankly one of the best RPGs ever made, and now that it can be played portably you have no more excuses.

NHL 23 is a vast improvement from last year's entry, featuring better control on the ice, the inclusion of women in HUT, and so much more.

Fueled Up is a fun co-op game to play with friends, but the artificial lengthening and confusing levels really make it hard to recommend over its peers.

Marvel SNAP is a straightforward deck-builder, with simple mechanics and gorgeous card designs that'll keep you playing.

PGA Tour 2K23 features tight controls for those who want to master every swing, and does enough to bring players in from the last entry.

No Man’s Sky sits comfortably next to the best ports on the platform. Of course it doesn’t sing quite as beautifully as the most high-powered console versions, but really, when you can planet hop in a decked out space ship while having a number two, who cares? Absolute wizardry.

Valkyrie Elysium is an enjoyable action RPG packed full of combos and upgrades, but the boring levels and story detract from the fun.

LEGO Bricktales is puzzler that takes you back to the early days of LEGO, when the freedom to build want you want took centre stage. There're plenty of opportunities to build, explore, and bask in the gentle humour that we could all do with a little more of.

Kamiwaze: Way of the Thief is a very silly stealth game that makes sneaking fun as long as you can tolerate the graphics.

Life is Strange Arcadia Bay Collection features two great games, but the visuals leave a little to be desired. The story of Max and Chloe still hits you hard, but overall, it's let down by various texture and animation issues.

Don’t go in expecting to be blown away, and Splatter: Zombiecalypse Now is a very satisfying few hours.

Overwatch 2 plays brilliantly. It’s a wonderful shooter full of depth, with unique heroes to master, maps to learn, and hours of your life to lose all over again.

With clunky combat and poorly explained mechanics, Lovecraft’s Untold Stories 2 fails to hit the mark in any meaningful way.

It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you’re a veteran of deck building you’ll find a lot to love in Vault of the Void.

NieR: Automata The End of YoRHa Edition is brilliant: it's still essential, still bonkers. Play this game.

Outside of the lengthy modes discussed, it's just what you want out of a football game: a damn good game of footy. I don’t care what they call it next year, if it improves on this then I will be there on day one.

Wayward Strand provides a poignant reminder that life is fragile, but within its delicate boundaries, we have a gift unlike anything else. The residents are all interesting thanks to great writing and a solid cast, and when you're done, you'll be left feeling a deep sense of respect for the elderly.

Flippin Misfits is an absolute blast, with fast paced zero gravity gameplay that will make you shout at your friends in all the right ways.

Penko Park is a charming and delightful photography game that fits loads of upgrades and weird monsters into its short runtime.

Moonscars is an intentionally bleak adventure in an unforgiving world, but players who seek a genuine challenge will certainly find it here.

Return to Monkey Island feels like a bridge linking some of the absolute best point-and-click adventures of gaming’s younger years with the sensibilities of the modern world.

Alfred Hitchcock Vertigo has some of the funniest voice acting in any game I’ve played this year, but unfortunately that wasn’t the intent.
