    Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition
    Old school to a fault, but fans of the series – and anyone else that appreciates its honest charms – will find much to love in this simplistic but heart-warming role-player.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Killzone 2
    One of the best looking games ever, but also one of the least ambitious in terms of anything else.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dragon Age: Origins
    The best and worst of BioWare's excesses combine in this competent but unprogressive RPG.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Disco Elysium
    A fiercely original take on traditional computer role-playing games that often seems unrefined and self-indulgent but is still a welcome shake-up of genre norms.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dead Space
    An excellent remake of a not-quite-classic survival horror, that nevertheless makes a convincing argument for the continuation of the series.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Oddmar
    Featuring a high degree of polish and a scattering of secrets and collectibles in each level, it may not be particularly original, and its cut scenes outstay their welcome, but this relatively short and highly entertaining game certainly does not.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Walking Dead: Episode 5 - No Time Left
    Despite a highly emotional finale this is arguably the worst episode of the season, although the overall storytelling remains some of the strongest in gaming.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fire Emblem: Three Houses
    A disappointingly clumsy attempt to evolve the Fire Emblem formula that takes little advantage of being on the Switch, but the anime melodrama and fun combat still entertains.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
    A surprisingly iterative sequel that’s nonetheless superior to its predecessor and despite some dull moment, and an incoherent narrative, this is still the best Metal Gear game in a decade.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Beatles: Rock Band
    A dream come true for Beatles fans, but viewed purely as a game it's not a patch on Rock Band 2.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Alan Wake II
    A peculiar sequel that at times seems to be purposefully undermining the best elements of the original, but it still gets just enough right to please both existing fans and potential newcomers.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Super Mario Maker
    If you accept its purposeful limitations this is one of the few successful attempts to ensure creating your own games is as much fun as playing them.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
    The graphics are absolutely stunning but the gameplay is predictable and surprisingly uneventful, as the game fails to leverage its technical achievements for anything more than straightforward spectacle.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Battlefield: Bad Company 2
    It's one step forward and two back in a sequel that seems almost ashamed of its own unique features.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Deathloop
    Not quite a misfire but while the action is highly entertaining this time-looping adventure squanders much of its premise on disappointingly straightforward objectives and a curiously tame portrayal of unchecked hedonism.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
    The difficultly curve and arcane interface and mechanics will still sadly limit the game's appeal, but CD Projekt has never given the impression that they're chasing a mainstream audience. And that's probably the attitude that is needed in order to create one of the few adult video games that doesn't feel like it was made purely for teenagers.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
    A complex and wildly ambitious medieval life simulator that basks in historical detail and will happily take over months of your life, even if its radical sense of freedom can create unintended impasses.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
    An ambitious and morally complex role-player, but one still limited by a poor script and half-broken game mechanics.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Witness
    A colossal achievement in puzzle gaming, with a very cleverly conceived setting and story, but the lack of variety and reward becomes stifling.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy XVI
    An excellent battle system shackled to a dispiritingly dull and long-winded fantasy adventure, that takes an inordinate amount of time to say nothing of value.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mass Effect 2: Lair of the Shadow Broker
    Easily the best downloadable extra so far and the only one to realise that Mass Effect 2's true strength is in character and melodrama, not action.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fieldrunners 2
    It's not clear what the four year wait was in aid of but despite only a few, small, new ideas this is still one of the best Tower Defense games on any format.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Wayward Souls
    Perhaps the closest there’ll ever be to a portable version of Dark Souls, but the unreliable controls make the punishing difficulty harder to bare.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Starfront: Collision
    The best portable real-time strategy game ever made - even if most of the credit belongs to Blizzard not Gameloft.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Infinity Blade
    Not just a tech demo, but a cleverly designed time waster that creates an absorbing challenge out of its apparently limited mechanics.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Batman: Arkham Knight
    Less consistent than the previous games, and the Batmobile is a surprisingly unwelcome addition, but even as the worst of the Arkham titles this is still a superior superhero adventure.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Marvel's Spider-Man
    The best Spider-Man game ever made… but only just, since it fails to move the superhero video game genre forward in any important way.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    New Super Mario Bros. Wii
    By Nintendo standards this is no classic, but by anyone else's it's a fun and accessible 2D platformer.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    GHOST TRICK: Phantom Detective
    Still the same innovative-but-flawed puzzler as on the DS, but now far cheaper and with even more attractive visuals.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Holy Potatoes! A Weapon Shop?!
    With a warm but whacky sense of humour, this is a Tycoon-style game that has you managing a blacksmithing business staffed by spuds. Set them to work forging weapons with stats that appeal to the selection of heroes that inhabit each of the game’s towns; the better the correlation, the more they’ll pay and the better their XP, adding to your shop’s fame and letting you expand your operation. It’s a polished product, even if it does eventually feel a bit repetitive, and the fact that it’s a PC port makes some of the text so tiny that those playing on phones will be reaching for a magnifying glass.
