A polished continuation of an intriguing narrative, Mankind Divided is a familiar, yet enjoyable thirty hours of tech noir.

Ultimately, Resident Evil is let down by its awkward combat and somewhat barebones plot.

Whether you choose to perceive it through a moral lens or not, there’s a great tactical survival mechanic driving this game beneath the didactics. Although the events it depicts are depressing to contemplate at length, I found myself coming back again and again to try and get it right somehow, beat the odds, and save my people.

Puyo Puyo Tetris is a solid fusion of two distinct and entertaining puzzle games, resulting in a high quality, long-lasting and very challenging game.

Even now, Modern Warfare is pushing boundaries, just in newer ways. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered sets a standard that shames other so-called ‘remastered’ titles.

Ring Fit Adventure is not just an excellent fitness game, but the perfect companion to achieving a healthy lifestyle. Between making exercise fun and enjoyable with the battle system and innovative traversal options, and the regular tips and advice that it gives, Ring Fit Adventure is constantly working towards helping you better yourself physically, one day at a time. A must-have for gamers of every fitness level.

The game is fun and highly addictive. The rather steep difficulty curve in story mode, coupled with the high number of hidden item recipes and blueprints mean it will take some time before you're able to utilise the free build mode to its fullest. That being said, given the adorable and gorgeous graphics, the large and varied landscapes, and the beautiful soundtrack of remastered songs from the series, it's time you won't begrudge spending.

Transistor gives players a dazzling world to explore, a customisable combat system that anyone could find pleasure in, and a story that can pull on even the toughest person’s heartstrings if engaged with.

A few extra bells and whistles keeps Splatoon 2 relevant and fun on its new platform, but Nintendo plays it a little too safe for hardened Splatters.

A terrifying, visually arresting masterclass in sci-fi and horror. Observer: System Redux is more relevant now than ever and a must-buy for fans of both genres.

A perfect sequel. Expanding on what worked last time, improving what did not work, adding ideas that were missing, and taking the story to places we have never seen before. As a fan of Little Nightmares, you could not ask for more.

With an initial Campaign that clocks in at around ten hours plus a secondary campaign, and almost unlimited online replay value thanks to the superb Sealed Play (which itself has a third single-player campaign), there are dozens of hours of card-battling fun available in Magic 2014.

Refinement brings excitement, for newcomers and pros alike. Madden NFL 17 has the stride and the force - it's just a few minor quibbles that stop it becoming legendary.

Released at a budget price, there’s really no excuse for not giving Metro: Redux a whirl.

It refreshes the old formula sufficiently to keep it interesting – but doesn’t do enough to become something special in its own right. It’s a lot of fun to play, but with a short campaign, uneven story, and by playing things a little too safe, it’s not quite as advanced as it claims to be.

Gris is an immensely important game, one that is another shining example of how much can be done with the medium. The visuals and the sound design are both complemented perfectly by the intense story and serve to create an incredible experience. Gris is a must play and shouldn't be missed for any reason.

For the most realistic driving simulation available though, Project CARS is all you’ll need.

So then: it’s Mortal Kombat, improved. It’s an evolution and not a revolution, and that’s what fans would have wanted.

If you have a passion for American football, there really is no better replication of the sport this well designed and executed.

Despite some niggling concerns, The Wolf Among Us is well worth the budget price attached to both digital and physical versions.

Spiritfarer is a beautiful game in terms of graphics and story, with plenty of tasks to keep you busy from collecting resources, fishing, and building. It's a relaxing experience, and one many people will find comfort in.

A well aged fantasy/horror action RPG, that even those who have never played before should definitely give a chance. Don't be scared off by the stories of how difficult it is. (Though also know, those stories are true.)

A gorgeous expansion that emphasises Horizon’s strengths - it may feel a little too familiar at times, but the core gameplay is as solid as ever.

Little Nightmares is a beautiful, clever, and at some points breathtaking game, that is only let down by a few minor frustrations.

Not content on being best episode in the series so far, Catch A Ride is one of Telltale Games' finest works to date.

Katana Zero was a pleasant surprise. I did not expect the emotional roller coaster I was about to embark on. It ticks all the boxes; great soundtrack, great gameplay, a well told story. I don't think there are enough words to explain how much I enjoyed this one. It is easily my favorite game of the year so far and I suggest you play it.

A hectic run and gun experience that is both fun to play and well designed.

The best Skylanders game to date and a must for all fans of the franchise, young and maybe old - apologies to the parents out there.
