The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker takes a great stab at presenting a modern FMV murder mystery game.
Dynasty Warriors 9 stands tall in the series' library, only being let down by relatively minor issues that will hopefully be fixed in subsequent instalments.
A fun tactics game with a great sense of humour and a unique twist on the alien invasion trope.
The Legendary Edition does therefore go a little above and beyond the call of duty, but not by much.
LEGO DC Super-Villains offers a huge amount of bang for its buck.
An incredibly faithful retro-inspired side-scrolling beat ‘em up.
A solid and mostly fun accompaniment to the film.
An interesting and in many ways strong FMV adventure title, but one somewhat let down by middling acting (at best) and a lack of attention to streamlining the gameplay for consoles as part of the porting process.
An attempted re-imagining that lacks ambition but should still satisfy most series fans.
Lack of depth in narrative, gameplay, and character development hamper a potentially interesting concept.
Overall, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard looks backwards in order to move forwards, not just by re-focussing on horror but also in a number of other less headline-grabbing ways.
Injustice 2 is everything a Mortal Kombat game would offer, and everything a fighting game should be, making it a must-have for both DC and fighter fans alike, even if it does feel a little bit too familiar.
Cars 3: Driven to Win is a slightly pleasant surprise, nostalgically reminded me of childhood days spent playing the likes of Mario Kart or Muppet RaceMania.
Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 is another strong Lego game from Traveller's Tales.
I can’t help feeling that if TT had dug just a little deeper, and expanded on the combat with things like elemental skill trees or multi-character combos, they could have made it even more engaging.
