    Mediterranea Inferno
    A surreal and unsettling work of interactive fiction, that examines not just the end of Covid lockdown but issues of friendship, passion, and murder.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Thaumaturge
    A historical supernatural role-player whose portrayal of Warsaw under Russian rule is highly compelling but where the combat and simplistic detective elements fail to engage.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    WWE 2K24
    Another improvement after two stellar editions in 2022 and 2023, WWE 2K24 feels like the culmination of a WrestleMania-sized comeback for the franchise.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Balatro
    An expertly constructed and intricate roguelite deck builder that draws on the language and concept of poker, before twisting it with an infinity of modifiers, unlocks, and delicately balanced risk and reward.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island
    A hardcore roguelike that has none of the niceties of most modern equivalents and yet its old school charm and small innovations make it enjoyable despite itself.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster
    One of the most impressive remasters ever seen, with almost every element of the original retuned and souped up, giving new life to a seminal first person shooter that is still very playable today.
    • 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.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Splatoon 3: Expansion Pass Wave 2 - Side Order
    Another fun piece of Splatoon single-player DLC, with an interesting mix of third person shooter and roguelike that would’ve been much better as the main story mode from the start.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Skull and Bones
    Skull And Bones has great naval combat but far too little else to recommend it, with a weak story and gameplay systems that amount to nothing but endless busywork.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Stranger Things VR
    Somewhere between a non-interactive VR experience and a half-baked licensed game, the latest Stranger Things VR experience has neither a coherent storyline nor proper action.
    • 92 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
    An object lesson in how to turn an old classic into a modern masterpiece, that surpasses even Final Fantasy 7 Remake in terms of appealing to both veteran fans and complete newcomers.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Pacific Drive
    An intriguing set-up, with an impressively ominous atmosphere, is spoilt by overfamiliar roguelike elements that ruin the pacing and increase the repetition.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Ultrawings 2
    A gloriously colourful VR flight simulator with a wealth of content and things to do, that never takes itself too seriously despite its dedication to authentic flying.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Words in Progress
    While the interface works, the game feels half-baked, with no instructions and bare bones interactions. It’s not terrible but in its current state feels unfinished, which for a game whose name riffs on the expression, ‘work in progress’ is perhaps quite fitting.

    • 20 Critic Score
    Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat
    Stamina, the single currency required to progress, arrives in minuscule volumes, making cash payments the only viable route to making headway in this offensively dull and exploitative perversion of a much loved series.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mario vs. Donkey Kong
    The world didn’t real need a Mario Vs. Donkey Kong remake but this is still the absolute best effort Nintendo could’ve made, with tons of new content and the same enjoyable but undemanding puzzles as before.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft
    A surprisingly good set of remasters, that present the original PS1 trilogy in the best light possible and with some very welcome options for modern controls and graphics.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
    A sprawling action RPG with a poignant love affair at its heart, whose enjoyable combat and supernatural detective work is all in pursuit of a morally ambiguous goal of your own choosing.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ultros
    Sometimes visuals are enough to carry a game and they certainly take Ultros far, although mediocre combat and some jankiness slightly undermines the unique vision.

    Helldivers 2
    Although it’s undoubtedly fun, the biggest question for Helldivers 2 is its longevity and variety. We haven’t played enough to judge that yet but then longevity is always difficult to discuss with a live service game, whose future plans are always in a state of flux. However, especially with its sensible price tag, this is definitely the best of the month’s online-only shooters, even if much of the appeal comes from shooting the wrong targets.

    Foamstars
    Despite its desperation to please, Foamstars is hard to dislike – but it’s difficult to say whether it has any staying power. There’s the expected battle pass progression trees, unlockable perks, and skin microtransactions to make your eyes roll, but it’s not as egregious as other live service titles in the same mould. In a similar vein to other B-tier online games with fun ideas (Knockout City, Rumbleverse, etc.), Foamstars feels like it’s caught against the tide, no matter whether it manages to stir up a dedicated player base or not.

    Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
    The combat is good, and the script has its moments, but otherwise this is a highly repetitive open world shooter that makes very poor use of its licence.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Silent Hill: The Short Message
    Another disappointing Silent Hill revival, that gets some of the visuals and tone right but is let down by a hackneyed script and frustrating chase sequences.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Granblue Fantasy: Relink
    A proper, meaty JRPG from a newly ambitious developer, whose top notch combat and art design is let down only by insipid storytelling and voice-acting.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Persona 3 Reload
    A solid, if strangely incomplete, remake which matches Persona 5 for presentation and has some of the most interesting and varied social link options of the whole series.
    • 89 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
    A successful evolution of Yakuza: Like A Dragon, which makes great use of its Hawaiian setting and an almost endless array of distractions and mini-games.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Tekken 8
    The best Tekken game of the modern era, with a vastly improved range of game modes and the most accessible and aggressive action the series has ever seen.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy
    An excellent set of remasters that bring the remaining three mainline Ace Attorney games to modern formats, along with a suite of extras and some effective visual updates.
    • tbd Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Toy Trains
    A charming and beautifully constructed virtual train set, with an immaculately designed interface whose elegance helps make up for the game’s brevity and lack of challenge.
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Palworld
    Palworld’s success is built upon the shoulders of giants but there’s no denying it is a fun experience, although how much of that is due to the novelty of it all is hard to say at this early stage. We feel almost guilty for praising it but despite the copy/paste approach to game and creature design, and the disturbing way in which Pals are treated, it does hang together as a fun multiplayer game, at least in the short term. Whatever you think of it, there’s no downplaying the fact that this has been one of the most successful indie launches of all time and one that may go on to have important ramifications for both AI content generation and the Pokémon franchise as a whole.
