Kona VR is an adventure game with survival elements integrated with some success. The story didn't grab me and the VR add-on suffers from technical issues, but exploring the hostile world will entertain fans of the genre.

Lumines Remastered doesn't take many chances with the classic Lumines formula but elevates it with some lovely presentation. If you've still got unfinished business with the Vita version, this doesn't do much to make it an essential purchase but if you're a fan of the genre, and the series in particular, this won't disappoint.

A great fit for the Lego game template released ahead of the new film. One of the better Lego games in recent memory that shows what can be done when the source material is right.

For those wanting an Everest to climb, Slime-san delivers plenty of challenge and complexity to master. It lacks some charm, character and the format of the levels seems to stifle any fluency. There's enough here to differentiate itself from the obvious influences but it hosts an aesthetic which I just don't find appealing.

Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle is a fun yet ultimately flawed fighting game. It manages to make more complex anime fighters into something more accessible, However the DLC-locked character roster and story mode sour the overall experience.

Earth Atlantis is a different kind of shoot 'em up that may well win fans with its excellent art style but will no doubt lose plenty due to the repetitive nature of the gameplay. It is a solidly put together game but one that is a few design choices away from being one we can truly recommend.

Omega Strike is an enjoyable, if straightforward, Metroidvania. The character swapping mechanic is a good idea but is underutilised by the level design and it's a tad too easy. You'll enjoy the time you have with it but it won't leave a lasting impression.

Super Bomberman R is very much a Bomberman game. It does little new for the franchise but excels in what the franchise is known for, which is being a fantastically moreish multiplayer free-for-all that always begs for one more go.

From the muddy, jagged visuals to the slow and poorly paced gameplay, Agony would suit as another circle of hell. It’s horrifying, but certainly not in the way it was intended to be.

A wonderfully relaxing way to spend a few hours but falls down a little in terms of game mechanics. Could well be called an interactive art installation.

Vampyr is the most unique RPG we've played in years. It may not be the slickest or most beautiful but it has a charm that makes the game much more than the some of its parts.

In what could've felt like a mesh of ideas, Onrush manages to succeed at providing a cohesive, fun time. There's depth to the combat with the vehicle classes providing different ways to play your part. Presentation carries a lot of charm and character and the seamless way you move from one event to another is to be applauded. I still wonder about longevity but, so far, it's holding my attention.

Milanoir is a very challenging ultraviolent homage to classic Italian crime movies of the '70s that deserves to be played. This with couch-based multiplayer makes for an entertaining package.

Riddled Corpses EX may not score highly for originality but if you stick with it there's a very addictive and satisfying game here.

Fans of the original Aragami will enjoy having four new levels to stalk their way through but the original game's issues are still present. So while the technical issues, clunky gameplay and overly long levels take away from the fun, Aragami still has plenty of moments where you feel like a badass ninja assassin and that's really the main thing we want from a game like this.

An interesting take on the usual arcade shoot 'em up but ultimately one that isn't as satisfying or rewarding as it should be.

The remaster may not bring much to the table, but the benefit of the improved frame rate and visuals succeed at making a great game even better. If you are new to the franchise, then now is certainly the time to jump in. However, veterans will possibly feel a bit cold to the lack of effort on display. Dark Souls still remains one of the greatest games of its type however and the remaster gives a suitable reason to explore Lordran once again, if you needed one that is.

Omensight has a great premise and incredibly well designed visuals. The combat isn't as responsive as I'd like and the repetition with regards to environments can start to drag but the story, characters and presentation will keep you playing through to the end.

Yoku’s Island Express is a unique take on the pinball, platforming and adventure genre’s. Not only does it blend these gameplay styles beautifully, it matches these with stunning visuals and a vast world that just deserves to be explored. Truly innovative and delightful in every way.

Shio isn't perfect, but offers the right type of player a challenging platformer which rewards patience and tenacity.

Disco Dodgeball Remix manages to add some longevity to a game that originally ran short on time. The player progression and the variety of modes help stave off potential boredom. The game's playful colour and style remains compelling after three years. Whilst the online does seem to be hampered by the urgency to get you playing, there's a lot to keep you occupied and it's mostly enjoyable.

A sloppily implemented PC port that ultimately should have stayed in early access longer to iron out the kinks.

Space Hulk: Deathwing accurately looks and feels like a Warhammer 40k licensed game. Unfortunately, for what it has in atmosphere and looks it just isn’t that great to play. Instead, the game is a slow and laborious slog mixed with laborious combat that rarely feels satisfying.

The great visuals and stunning assets of the Ark franchise are not enough to save ARK Park from mundanity. The game poorly imitates the core elements of Survival Evolved and results in an anaemic and frustrating experience that is further marred by technical challenges and boring content.

The rollicking romp in a historical setting continues apace. This episode is a tad short though and is probably better value if you have the season pass.

For all the good ideas, Trailblazers doesn't gel cohesively. The twisty, narrow nature of the courses do lend the game to a topsy-turvy time. Against the ruthless AI, it's difficult to enjoy but, amongst friends there's a decent party game under the hood. It's colourful and vibrant with a fair amount of personality but there's a nagging feeling that this game can't quite come together.

God of War is nothing short of sensational. It improves on the best aspects of the previous entries in the franchise while also providing a fresh take on what should feel like a tired and worn series by now. Truly essential gaming if you love great gameplay, narrative and stellar presentation.

Subaeria is a novel take on the rogue-lite genre. Trying to make enemies kill each other by outsmarting them can be fun and there is plenty to unlock. However at the moment the technical problems take all the fun out of playing it, sometimes making it literally unplayable. Hopefully these issues can be fixed with a patch as the concept deserves better.
