    Killzone: Mercenary
    The real test for Mercenary is whether the game would stand out if it was released on a home console, but the answer to that is probably not. The nods to GoldenEye offer some deviance from the norm but overall Mercenary does too little to distinguish itself from the competition. That there is no competition on the PS Vita gives it something of a free pass, but it still seems more like a proof of concept than a standalone game.

    Her Majesty's SPIFFING
    An occasionally biting satire of post-Brexit Britain, that also happens to be one of the best – and shortest – graphic adventures of 2016.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
    Not as compelling as its predecessor, but as a four-player alternative to the Lego games this an enjoyable enough attempt at a Tomb Raider lite.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Haunt
    Family friendly survival horror with a quietly ambitious, and largely successful, attempt to get the most out of Kinect.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore
    It doesn’t have the depth of standalone Persona and Fire Emblem games, but this is a fun crossover that will please followers of both, and Japanese role-playing fans in general.

    Caverns of Minos
    Jeff Minter returns with one of his most surreal retro tributes so far, but if you can keep your sanity it's also one of his best.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Quake Arena Arcade
    The granddaddy of online first person shooters returns and although you could quibble over the price the classic gameplay is as solid as ever.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Marvel's Iron Man VR
    An impressively ambitious, and consistently enjoyable, VR action game that embraces all aspects of the Iron Man character and is only let down by technical limitations.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Penny's Big Breakaway
    A charming indie platformer with a fun central gimmick and excellent movement options, let down by garish visuals and some deliberate retro foibles.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Like a Dragon: Ishin!
    A welcome novelty and throwback for long-time Yakuza fans, that offers everything they love about the series, although it’s held back by a rather underwhelming plot and too much fan service.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
    Simple, charming, and considerably improved on the 3DS. Dragon Quest isn’t for everyone but this bridges the gap between retro and modern games very well.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Call of the Elder Gods
    A fiercely imaginative puzzle solver that builds on all the best elements of Call Of The Sea to deliver a genuinely challenging, Lovecraftian-flavoured adventure.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
    An awkward mishmash of the innovative and the overly familiar, that in the end represents no clear step forward for the franchise.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Xenoblade Chronicles 2
    In some ways a backwards step from its immediate predecessor, but this is still a fascinatingly complex Japanese role-player with the best open world since Breath Of The Wild.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Peaky Blinders: The King's Ransom
    A short but sweet VR romp that replicates the Peaky Blinders universe perfectly, even as it runs up against some of the intrinsic limitations of VR gaming on the Meta Quest 2.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Long Dark
    A pleasingly complex and realistic survival simulator, accompanied by a story mode that so far fails to be anywhere near as compelling.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
    An intriguing antidote to Modern Warfare that's realistic to a fault, but never dull or predictable.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Kaiju Attack
    Games can go on for quite a while, but it’s a rewardingly tactical process and later victories especially can feel like genuine achievements against the odds.

    Nom Nom Galaxy
    A fun addition to the sandbox genre, that adds a more structured campaign and achievable goals – at the cost of only a little in the way of accessibility.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    uDraw Studio
    uDraw Studio comes off second best, not so much because it has less options but because, unlike Art Academy, it doesn't make as much of an effort to explain either itself or any of the art techniques that might be useful.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV
    A finale that only exacerbates the faults of the series up till now but the sheer audacity of the storytelling, and the goodwill built up over so many years, pushes it over the finishing line.
    • tbd Metascore

    Cooking Mama: Cuisine!
    There does come a point where frustration sets in, the randomly assigned ingredients making it hard to predict exactly what you’re cooking, which makes filling in the last few pages of the game’s cookery book an unnecessary chore, but for a bit of knockabout kitchen-centric fun, its first few hours remain highly entertaining.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tom Clancy's The Division 2
    An unambitious but competent sequel that already has some of the best endgame content of any similar game… if you can stomach the offensively apolitical, and thoroughly boring, storytelling.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Killzone 3
    A few steps forward and a few steps back leave this technically accomplished shooter exactly where it was: still searching for a heart and identity of its own.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Homeworld 3
    A flawed sequel, that undermines some of the original games’ greatest pleasures, but this is still a uniquely enjoyable real-time strategy, with plenty of interesting new ideas.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    When Vikings Attack!
    A cheekily entertaining download that turns an extremely simple idea into a disarmingly nuanced, and effortlessly charming, multiplayer battler.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Hitman: Blood Money - Reprisal
    It’s got a well-designed touchscreen interface that’s more than enough to handle the necessary stealth and occasional violence, even if the game’s graphics and core gameplay are starting to feel a bit creaky 17 years on.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Cris Tales
    A loving tribute to the past and present of Japanese role-players, with some impressively clever time travel powers and gorgeous artwork – although it’s a shame about the random battles.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 5: Rise of the Pirate God
    A largely satisfying ending for what has been a frustratingly uneven season of graphic adventures.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Kinect: Disneyland Adventures
    The best original Kinect game this year, and if it wasn't for the vagaries of the controller itself one of the best video games around for the very young.
