With no challenge beyond wrestling with the horrible controls, Unbox is a failed appeal to nostalgia that captures none of the warmth or playability of the games it admires.

Bewildering at first, but with time you can discover a surprising amount of depth and originality. Sadly this PS4 version is rather unnecessary with poorly optimised controls and no mod support.

An accomplished racer that takes the game beyond the track, F1 2016 takes pole position as Codemasters most enjoyable take on the series to date.

A classic survival-action-horror that redefined the franchise and scared the hell out of us.

Tadpole Treble is clearly a passion project by the developers BitFinity and this shines through in every aspect. It’s rare that you come across a game with educational undertones that doesn’t instantly come across as one. Moreover one so wonderfully presented as this.

A step back for the series, but still an enjoyable couple of hours despite the flaws.

A potentially great game that is completely let down by its balancing and lacklustre enemy encounters.

One man’s labour of love that pays homage to the greats of the past with only a few teething errors.

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.

A polished puzzler, built on a great mechanic that is utilised in impressive and enjoyable ways.

When racing you versus the track Assetto Corsa is hands down the best available simulator. Venture beyond this, however, and there's disappointment to be had at every turn.

Do My Best Games have created an incredibly immersive, varied and compelling game, it is tense and always leaves you wondering what is beyond the next door. Its simple gameplay is enhanced by the compelling story and leaves you always wanting to find out more from its inhabitants.

Feels like it wanted to be a genre epic but had to settle for merely ‘alright’.

Some nice mechanics here but flawed in almost all aspects.

A sleek, shiny FPS puzzler that overcomes the limitations of its gameplay with some accessible conundrums and an interesting tale.

Sword Coast Legends is a decent game with a compelling story and some rather excellent voice active. It's brought down heavily, however, by excruciatingly long load screens and the chance of hitting a game-ending bug.

A perfect example of learning by playing - Hyper Light Drifter offers a unique experience of exploration and discovery in a beautiful world with a well paced challenge, even if you still have no idea what’s going on by the end.

Still one of the best multiplayer experiences.

It may be tricky at first, but stick with it and you'll soon find yourself enthralled by Chime Sharp. It's an addictive and absorbing take on a classic formula, with a great soundtrack and a sleek aesthetic for hours of satisfying puzzle action. Just make sure to turn up the volume.

This game tries to hitch a ride on the nostalgia train without paying the due fees first. For hardcore Star Ocean fans only.

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

A triumph of hype and tech over engaging gameplay. The latter is short-lived with No Man's Sky.

Dark, sombre and thoughtful, Inside is a brief experience that's satisfying in the questions it creates.

A promising premise but falls short of its full potential by overreaching itself.

Exactly the right amount of old and new, DOOM is an adrenaline rush that borders on overwhelming in the best possible way.

The blending of genres, those perfect Moments and the beautiful pace of each game make Blizzard's new IP a must.

A slow but solid first chapter which offsets ponderous exposition with some thrilling fight scenes, and introduces much-needed new mechanics to a now familiar template.

Not exactly novel but fantastic all the same. There's something here for everyone to love.
