What Remains of Edith Finch is a fantastically memorable experience, one which only the interactive medium of videos games could provide. Yes its short, and yes it has limited interaction, but if you’re looking for a novel and consistently surprising game then this is for you.

Pinball meets Horror in this niche, but enjoyable, side project from the masters of Pinball, Zen Studios.

This latest Warhammer title offers a ton of story for fans of the franchise and plenty of gameplay mechanics for experienced action RPG players. Thankfully, regular gamers can enjoy the Diablo-but-with-guns gameplay too.

Jazzpunk is an absurd, quick-fire joke machine that holds its end of the bargain for the two-hour duration. Its sense of style remains strong and consistent throughout. There’s a lack of replay value beyond finding any gags you’ve overlooked but I can’t help but admire how different and funny this is. It’s brilliantly executed and carries a jaunty, playful tone that keeps things moving. If you’ve already ventured into the robot universe then the underwhelming multiplayer doesn’t feel like an enticing addition but we would definitely recommend newcomers checking this out. You will probably not play anything else like it.

Serial Cleaner brings some strong design and '70s style to the unpleasant business of cleaning up murder scenes. The game gives you all the information you need to successfully sneak your way through the many levels and if you feel like making things more difficult you can tackle the challenges. Stealth fans should check it out.

Similar to Minecraft it may be but Dragon Quest Builders is a great game in its own right. The quest structure works as both a tutorial and a reason for building, whilst those who prefer to just get on with it have the Terra Incognita mode to turn to. A very well made game all round that should appeal to both sets of fans.

Eagle Flight does a pretty good job of simulating flight in a natural setting. It is also one of the more relaxing VR games out there if you are just looking for a simple fly over. The controls are tight, the visuals are great and multiplayer is great fun. This is definitely one to try.

If you're in the mood for a good story, Cats and the Other Lives should suffice. Whilst the game does take place over three long days, very little of it feels wasted. There's a lot to discover about Bernard and his family whilst Aspen provides plenty of opportunities for mischief. The puzzles are incredibly simple but I did find the few chase sequences to be a little irritating. Not enough to dampen my spirits, though. I feel the narrative is well crafted and characters are nicely developed.

Vagante is a fine roguelike that’ll kick your arse over and over. Yet you’ll want to keep on playing over and again. We sure did. The difficulty is perhaps a little harsh for a strictly singleplayer experience, this is definitely balanced to be played with friends.

Guacamelee! 2 has a great sense of humour and offers a Metroidvania with precision combat and platforming that'll leave you wanting more.

Utawarerumono: ZAN is a great hack and slash introduction to the greater Utawarerumono storyline. Perhaps not one for series purists given it retreads a previous game's plotline.

When it comes to remasters, few studios can offer the same level of comprehensiveness that Night Dive have here. Lovingly resurrected, Shadow Man: Remastered offers the definitive edition of this classic yet forgotten horror adventure. They don’t make them like this anymore and while nothing can remaster the niggling tropes of yesteryear like the backtracking, overly precise platforming and lack of handholding, there is a ton of game here to enjoy and discover, if given the patience it deserves.

We've seen this style of game before but by stripping out any real need for strategy and thought and instead turning the game into a raucous smash and grab arcade experience, the developers have created an instant party game classic. Get Packed is the co-op removals game you never knew you needed.

Moonglow Bay is a lovely relaxing timesink of a game. It’s just a shame that it is bedevilled by bugs of varying degrees of severity. Despite everything we recommend you persevere with it and hope for patches down the line.

Housemarque take their twin stick expertise over to the run and gun genre and nail it, just as you knew they would. The game's short lifespan and bullet sponge bosses take off a little bit of the shine but the excellent controls and gorgeous presentation make the game a must-buy for arcade connoisseurs.

Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse Remastered is a retouched version of a smart and comedic classic that holds up very well. It can be a little light on options but the new lighting gives the characters and scenes more life. The writing remains funny and I really enjoyed talking to the characters and figuring out the puzzles, despite some troubles with the logic. The episodic framing really helps make the package feel focused and it really helped keep the pacing snappy.

This renaissance of old school first-person shooters has really given us some gems. Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun can comfortably add itself to that list. The combat is tight and frenetic with an ensemble of effective weaponry. Levels feel large and varied, although the lack of a map can lead to some confusing moments. The fiction and lore has never been my thing but it does seem to fit this very straight-forward, no nonsense effort. Enjoyable and rewarding from start to finish.

LEGO Worlds is a game about playing with LEGO and it works really well. It is very easy to pick up and play and in many ways the enjoyment you’ll get out of this game is limited only by your imagination.

Shantae and the Seven Sirens is another enjoyable game in the Shantae franchise. The open world and exploration could be streamlined a little but the characters and gameplay are as enjoyable as ever with great animations and abilities.

Superliminal is a great puzzle game with soul. There’s tons to do besides the nine levels on offer, especially when you go looking for collectibles.

World to the West is a charming adventure game with an interesting character swapping dynamic. The gentle pace of the adventuring and the environmental puzzles make this an easy game to like. Whilst not without some small niggles these are easy to look past and they aren’t game ruining.

As far as racing games for kids go, Cars 3: Driven to Win is surprisingly good. It looks good, handles well and has enough content to keep you and your young 'uns entertained for a long time.

Sure, we’d rather they just remastered GRAW 1 and 2, and this is yet another open-world Ubisoft ’em up. But get over the initial deja vu, and lack of GRAWness, and fire this up with your online mates and you’ll get one of the best co-op games on the PS4. A high quality title but one that we reckon will be forgotten a lot sooner than its predecessors. In the meantime though, Wildlands has its hooks in us.

Aftermath expands on an already massive amount of content and adds an enjoyable story from the best storytellers in the fighting game genre but damn it's expensive.

Highwater is a well-made turn-based battler set in the same scenario as Demagog’s other games Golf Club: Wasteland and The Cub. Sadly, it’s a bit short and it could do with collectible tracking. We really enjoyed ourselves despite that.

One Hand Clapping is a great puzzle platformer with the novel twist of your voice being as much part of the gameplay as your interaction with the controller. It's really quite something, though make sure your mic is up to scratch or you may struggle.

From the 3D to 2D perspective shifts, the surreal visuals and infectious soundtrack, Anodyne 2: Return to Dust is mind-bending in a multitude of ways. This is a game that is full of character, thoughtful storytelling and presentation flair that should be tried by most, even if the experience is not for everyone.

There's a lot to admire with The Spectrum Retreat. It feels well executed and considered. There's a great sense of isolation and the puzzles are designed well to allow players to take their time and consider their movement. It's a competent, thoughtful effort that, in spite of what I think of the story's impact, manages to succeed with some clever puzzles.
