    • 94 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Not quite the definitive version that some would've been expecting, but still the best Western style action role-player of the generation.
    • 94 Metascore
    • Critic Score
    This is likely to be the definitive version of a great game, and an excellent excuse to dive back into its gloriously rich and varied world, but at the moment it’s a bug-ridden mess that’s more trouble to play than the seven-year-old original. We’re sure by next Christmas it’ll all be running perfectly but all you get this year is a lump of 4K coal. [Review in Progress]
    • 94 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    An excellent Japanese role-player that is at least the equal to Persona, with an engagingly thoughtful story and enjoyably fast-paced combat.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    The best version of Street Fighter ever, the best 2D fighter ever and probably the best multiplayer ever.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A more flawed experience than its predecessor, with a sense that the formula is already starting to wear thin, but the character-based storytelling with Kratos and his son is handled masterfully well.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It's not the originality of the design, but the workmanship, that makes this one of the best FPS ever.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    An exceptionally good expansion that adds in a mountain of new content that specifically addresses the few flaws there were with the original.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A milestone in action video game storytelling and while the gameplay is not nearly as inspired, the experience as a whole is one of the best of the generation.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A startlingly well realised iteration of GTA that even does some things better than the home consoles.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A perfect mix of retro and modern sensibilities that loses none of the charm or accessibility of the originals, but adds a great deal more variety.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A hell of a good roguelike, supported by a surprisingly strong narrative that provides just as much motivation to persevere as the excellent combat system.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    An incredible technical achievement but one that is surprisingly short of genuinely new ideas, and often struggles to get the balance right between VR showpiece and satisfying gameplay experience.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    One of the best computer role-playing games ever, with such a level of complexity and flexibility it’s difficult to believe it exists, let alone that it could ever be bettered.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Easily the best game on the Wii U and one that can proudly stand alongside Nintendo’s greatest, even if it doesn’t quite top the Super Mario Galaxy games.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The lack of innovation is a shame, but the attention to detail and superb multiplayer is beyond criticism.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Kratos looks better than ever in this welcome PC port of one of the best action adventures of the outgoing generation.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    This is not a perfect game, and it never has been, but Persona 4 has always been our favourite Japanese role-player and this is the definitive version of it.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    One of the best role-playing games ever made, Japanese or otherwise, and beyond that simply one of the most stylishly told interactive stories you’ll ever experience.
    • 93 Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Red Dead Redemption 2 is an amazing achievement in terms of production values, but it is also a fundamentally flawed video game that leverages its seemingly infinite resources in such a self-indulgent way that it undermines both its storytelling and your patience for seeing it through to the end.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    It may be short on gameplay surprises, but it's long on visual shock and awe.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A great ending to a landmark trilogy. A near perfect mix of action and storytelling, where the personal drama is as engrossing as the galaxy-spanning battles.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The best Metal Gear Solid game ever made, as it bravely reinvents both its gameplay and its storytelling to far greater effect than ever before.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Revolutionary on at least two counts, with the best motion controls ever seen in a video game and an inspired reinvention and improvement of the Zelda formula.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Quest controllers are much more precise, and together with the lack of cables transforms this from a good game to a truly great one.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Ask not what Rock Band 3 can do for you, but whether you have the commitment (and a large enough wallet) to make the most out of it.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    More a reimagining than a straight remake but despite the difficulty of recapturing lighting in a bottle, this is both a loving tribute to the original Resident Evil 4 and a great game in its own right.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    An incredible technical achievement but also one of the most cleverly crafted and most cinematic action games ever made.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Easily the best Smash Bros. ever made, with a fantastic new story campaign and a near infinite range of characters and options for multiplayer.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    There are a few niggling technical issues but this still easily laps any other serious racing game on the iPhone - or any other portable format.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Visually though this is one of the most impressive games of the year, with the subtle animation and sparing use of colour telling you all you need to know about the situation without a word of dialogue. Inside isn’t a fun video game, but it is a clever and intelligent one. And despite how long it’s been since Limbo it’s telling that nobody has managed to perfect that formula as well as Playdead.
