Dragon Quest XI S is an excellent version of an excellent game and, if you have the time to spare, an enjoyable JRPG for the whole family.
Wasteland 3 is a terrific sequel that blows its predecessor out of the water in every aspect.
Mortal Shell's incredibly strong start peters out as you learn more and more about the limitations of the gameplay and the world Cold Symmetry try to establish.
Hitching framerates and drab visuals take away from an otherwise decent hack and slash with a terrific atmosphere.
Ghost of Tsushima is, despite some minor blemishes, an impressively sharp swansong for the PlayStation 4.
Marvel's Iron Man VR might not be without issues, but it’s hands down the most complete VR experience I have had to date.
Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia is decent tactical RPG that doesn’t quite reach greatness. Recommended for anyone who loves shonen anime and collecting monsters.
Command & Conquer Remastered Collection shows the whole industry how to do these things. It pays homage to every aspect of the old titles while bringing them into the 21st century. A must-have for anyone remotely interested in the series.
Nioh 2 offers best in class combat but suffers from an overwhelming number of upgrade systems and a story that is utterly incoherent.
The gameplay is good and the music is fantastic, but the lack of variety and a failure to really stand out among the stiff competition hamstrings Black Future ‘88.
It took a decade, but we finally have the successor to Fallout: New Vegas we deserve.
Rain of Reflections Chapter 1: Set Free is a competent point and click adventure with fun ideas and an interesting world. Unfortunately, the game's short length and poor voice acting prevent it from becoming great.
GreedFall has some of the most compelling characters and storylines so far this year. Unfortunately, they're buried by dated technology and a serious lack of polish.
Hunt: Showdown is an incredibly intense and sometimes nerve-racking game that will require a lot from you. In return, it delivers an experience and a world you will have a hard time finding anywhere else.
From the Ashes is a brilliant game that takes what is good about Soulsborne and combines it with a satisfying co-op shooter.
Ion Fury can be a fun time, but you will start to feel the age of the game design before long. Only for real nostalgia junkies.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a methodical adventure with a glacial pace that would have utterly destroyed a less well-crafted game. In this case, however, the strength of the visual design and the excellent writing is more than enough to gloss over those flaws.
Fun combat and great co-op do their best to mitigate the shortcomings Chaosbane has with its serious lack of variety.
Total War: Three Kingdoms is the best the series has been in a decade. By emphasising on characters and their relationships, each campaign feels like an epic narrative of friendship and betrayal.
A fun albeit barebones survival RTS best enjoyed with a friend, Conan Unconquered is hampered by technical issues as well as a serious lack of content.
