An okay platformer but a deeply imaginative horror game, Little Nightmares is worth playing for its array of disturbing imagery.

Forza mimicry aside, the improved handling and visuals, along with Grand Race mode, are a revelation.

Some nice characters and stories nested in an astounding open world, undercut by jarring bugs at every turn.

Silent Hill 2's remake is a fun but flawed take on a flawless gem.

Brash, solid, run ‘n’ gun goofiness that’s a tad too underwrought to be truly brilliant.
