A polished but disappointingly by-the-numbers FMV adventure that won't linger in your mind for long.

A gentle and engrossing underwater sci-fi game that will have you thinking about more than what lies beneath the waves.

Bleeding Edge's characters are cool, but the combat is too shallow to hold attention for long.

Resident Evil 3 is essentially a chain of action set-pieces, threaded together with a paper-thin story and a few too many cutscenes. This is the direction the series started to take post-Resident Evil 4, when it seriously lost its way and we ended up with the abysmal Resident Evil 6, and I'd hate to see that happen again.

With old friends, new enemies, and an exciting story, revisiting City 17 in VR is a thrill in Half-Life: Alyx.

Doom Eternal is a ceaseless, panicked nightmare that pushes you to point and click with more skill and style than ever before.

For better or worse, this is a classic hex wargame with updated graphics.

Call of Duty: Warzone reaches new heights in battle royale by ditching backpacks and throwing me in a Gulag.

A vibrant mystery adventure but maybe not for you if you're picky about picross.

Packaged with the rest of the Master Chief Collection, it’s an easy way to hop in and see what all the fuss was about 20 years ago. If you’ve spent the last 20 years moulding Halo PC into a custom content chimaera, it’s a harder sell. What Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is offering a clean slate.

It's not a chore to conquer China in Romance of the Three Kingdoms 14. It's just underwhelming. Especially when we've seen this era represented so much better by Creative Assembly so recently, I couldn't come up with a compelling reason why I'd play this instead. Only die-hard fans of the franchise who want to see Koei's specific takes on these characters will be likely to find much to get excited about here. And given that this is the fourteenth entry in the series, I expected a lot more.

Despite variable success with the choice element, this is a kingdom you’ll want to save.

It's inconsistent and sometimes annoying, but ultimately a charming, challenging, heart-string-pulling fable.

A quality remake that broadens the scope of the original and massively improves its final chapters.

Bloodroots is a brutally good slasher that often outstays its own welcome.

I'd really love to know how Corruption 2029 came to be. It feels like a very stripped down, bare bones game—a space for the designers to experiment with concepts in a turn-based tactics space. The big problem with Corruption 2029 is that the same developer put out a very similar game with the same strengths and far fewer shortcomings only two years ago. Fans of Mutant Year Zero might want to check it out to get a bit more of that stealth tactics fix, but anyone else should opt for its more illustrious predecessor.

With a fun concept, superb creation tools, and finely crafted puzzles, Besiege is a construction game to savour.

A mountain of issues gets in the way of the gratuitous monster murder and engaging customisation.

The Suicide of Rachel Foster builds a haunting hotel, but fills it with an insensitive story ill-equipped to deal with the issues it covers.

"Not every conspiracy has to be the f.cking Templars." If that made you smile, buy with confidence.

Marvelous’s mechfest looks beautiful and plays like a dream on PC, but it's held back by repetitive action.

An enchanting adventure that boasts some magical hand-drawn animation, but will inevitably leave some players perplexed.

A compelling story about rural America that is both surreal and thoughtful, if a little disorienting.

A superbly crafted game that serves as storyteller, teacher, and concerned friend.

Novel presentation and a masterful complexity curve, but The Pedestrian's very shy about storytelling.

Tense and thrilling with finely tuned systems, Saints & Sinners is a must-have VR experience.

An exceptional RTS let down by a very disappointing remaster.

It’s not going to rock anyone’s world, but for a cheap TV tie-in it’s a lot more engaging than it has any right to be, serving as a pleasant opportunity for any series fan to spend a few more hours in Gelfling company.
