Beyond Light fails at pushing Destiny 2 in a good direction. It's lacking in countless ways, from the campaign to the seasonal content, and it doesn't give you nearly enough for the price. Even the most hardcore Destiny fans will probably find plenty to dislike here, and casual players should skip this without a second thought.

Aliens: Colonial Marines is a poor game made worse by the extensive hype that the game mustered over its six year development.

Poor controls and a bland aesthetic mean that Skeleton Boomerang is a game you won't be returning to any time soon.

Bladestorm: Nightmare is almost impossible to recommend to anyone but the most die-hard fans of musou games.

If you love fanservice, and especially the kind that lets you exploit underage-looking anime girls feel free to add a couple of marks to that – if you’re everyone else then knock a couple off.

Sadly lacking in depth, so much so in fact that you can literally play most of it with your eyes closed.

Even if you are actually a fan of the blue creatures, or have a child who is, buying this will not provide one ounce of pleasure for even a slight period of time.

This has all been done before, and it’s been done better.

Even if the film did do surprisingly well at the box office, you’ll easily spot the slug trails that accompany Turbo: Super Stunt Squad as it crawls its way into the bargain bin.

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is an abomination on every level: a dull, cynical and irreparably flawed mess which is as mindless and soulless as its antagonists.

An attempt at resurrecting the horror genre from a top-down perspective that has gone horribly awry. Terrible controls, frustrating visual effects and limp action result in Outbreak being a barely functional game.

An uncoordinated tangle of ideas that's just too confusing to be fun.

Submerged can only be described as a huge disappointment that squandered its potential thanks to some terrible design decisions and being let out the door far too early.

Visually ugly with inelegant, outdated gameplay, Dead or School is flunking all of its classes.

Alekhine’s Gun would have scraped by had it not had the hubris to call itself ‘Best Cold War Shooter’. It’s barefaced cheek to appropriate the Hitman formula to a different time is interesting, were it not taking everything else from a franchise that has just revamped itself.

The few people in the centre of that tight vein diagram who decide to buy Fort Boyard: The Game will be disappointed when they play it, as it’s far more simplistic and short than the legions of better party games out there.

Even with the allure of the movie license younger gamers probably aren’t going to stick with the game for too long as this game has been done many times before, and much better.

Overall then, Omniverse 2 is unlikely to appeal to anyone other than a subset of ardent fans with exceptional staying power, who are willing to overlook its deathly dull combat, crass voicework and utterly repetitive gameplay.

Let’s leave it with Jake’s own words, spoken as if holding up a mirror to his own life: “Swear to god - I’d rather be polishing boots than sit through this crap.”

Chaotic and confusing, but at the least kind of cute, Let's Go Nuts feels more fitting to be played on a web-browser than the Switch.

Fighter Within on the Xbox 360 would be a disaster reduced to a footnote, ignored and left to wither. As a launch title for the new generation it’s worse: a parasite, feeding off the goodwill and desperation of early-adopters. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

While handsomely produced, the way the titular character is treated as an afterthought and the serious themes of child grooming are handled leaves a truly wretched taste in the mouth.
