Victoria 3's attractive historical sandbox is filled with potential, but it's on you to unlock it.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers is the latest game to cash in on the cat-and-mouse multiplayer boom. Unfortunately, it does so without any of the mechanical depth that makes those games great.

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is an unsatisfying multiplayer experience that lacks the wry character of the movies it's based on.

Gotham Knights attempts to differentiate itself from the Arkham series with new characters and a new canon, but spends most of its length poorly imitating what made those games great.

A challenging and inventive set of mysteries to solve tied together with a brilliant storyline.

Overwatch 2 revitalizes the stagnant hero shooter, but misunderstands what made it great.

Nathan Drake's last outing is still at the top of the action-adventure genre.

Requiem is a masterful sequel and an exceptional action adventure.

Endlessly slick, the battles and story are a joy to play through. No turn-based JRPG feels as good as this.

Underneath the cosy exterior lies a complex, rewarding shopkeeping sim.

Checkpoint woes and a short runtime couldn't keep this body horror sci-fi game from burrowing into my skull.

There's a decent space sim buried within Dual Universe, but you'll need to do a lot of digging to find it.

A masterpiece that will have you soaring like an angel through the depths of hell.

We're in a milsim boom and Isonzo's thrilling, if limiting battlefields fit nicely into it.

A splendid adventure that’s well paced, excellently voiced, and doesn't outstay its welcome.

A simple yet nuanced roguelike packed with interesting decisions, tense fights and lots of digging.

A bland alternative to a genre-defining game millions of people are very familiar with.

Grounded is a delightfully creative and occasionally terrifying survival sandbox.

A meaty action game let down by a persistently rubbish camera and a lack of variation in its stages.

Metal: Hellsinger manages to remain entertaining despite its lackluster story due to its great soundtrack and well-integrated rhythmic combat.

A brilliant return to the series at its best that modernises the point-and-click form.

What it lacks in charm, Temtem makes up for with mechanical depth and involved multiplayer.

Sunday Gold didn't set my mind on fire like those artsy fartsy RPG/adventure game hybrids, but it makes up for it with honest, lunch pail, hardcore resource management.

Tinykin's minion management might be shallow, but its platforming shines.

Tense and involving, if just slightly lacking smarts and spectacle. A firm foundation to build a series on.

Immortality is Sam Barlow’s best, most thought-provoking game yet, and a barnstorming debut for Half Mermaid.

The knockabout glee of classic Saints Row ultraviolence is here, but held back a little by new-found restraint.

An uncomfortable blend of vulnerability and brand consumption.
