All Game reviews

It might not be called Gods and Monsters any more, but it still has both those things in abundance. Look past the terrible title and corny dialogue to find arguably Ubisoft's strongest game of the year...

With plenty of big-budget games available for Xbox Series X|S at launch, it's easy to skip over the smaller ones. The Falconeer is a good indie title that shouldn't be missed, even if it does fly too close to the sun on occasion.

Sega flings its ever-crazy series into a new generation, with a brand new kind of gameplay backed up by some seriously impressive tech. Here's our verdict on the Series X version...

DedSec has made its way across the pond in Watch Dogs: Legion, and while the dystopian London it presents makes for a compelling setting, the game suffers from a flawed gameplay mechanic and legions of bugs.

Neversoft's classic skating games get a full HD makeover, with Vicarious Visions turning in one of the slickest and most faithful remakes we've seen in a very long time.

Size Five's latest is a hilarious and inventive journey into the absurd. Half point-and-click adventure, half action-platformer, all absolutely awesome.

Tell Me Why's story isn't as emotional as previous Dontnod games, but you'll still find yourself caught up in some of the more intense moments. Here is our spoiler-free review of Dontnod's latest narrative adventure.

Rare's amphibious avengers return for the first time in over 25 years, with a varied, challenging, and entertaining adventure that thrusts the toads back into the spotlight in style.

Asobo Studio has pulled off something astonishing with Microsoft Flight Simulator. Using map data from Bing, the entire Earth has been recreated and can be explored in stunning detail.

Minecraft Dungeons is not only an excellent dungeon crawler it's surprisingly hard at times too. Although a little basic in some areas, there is still hours of fun here to be had by all ages.

Gears Tactics is a shockingly good strategy game that offers hours of gameplay that will have you on the edge of your seat. However, dull side missions slow the pace of the story and somewhat detract from the overall experience.

Bleeding Edge has some superb third-person combat and a big emphasis on team play that is not only one of the best qualities of the game, but also the most frustrating.

A five year wait since Ori and the Blind Forest will prove to be more than worth it: Ori and the Will of the Wisps is an epic sequel, with a bigger world, new abilities, new characters, and a new challenge for an older Ori.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order felt like a bit of a gamble for both Respawn and EA, an attempt to put out a single-player Star Wars game without courting controversy and tarnishing the brand. Somehow they managed it.

Tracks is a very specific type of railroad building simulator, with a nostalgic aesthetic aimed squarely at people who remember their first wooden train set as a kid. But we think it could have a broader appeal.

Frogwares has taken the best bits from Crimes and Punishments and has added to them for The Devil's Daughter. The problem is that these additions aren't always good.

Infinity Ward has created one of the best campaigns found in a Call of Duty game since the original Modern Warfare. However, shocking and graphic moments somewhat take away from the experience.

Our reviewer has fond memories of The Lion King on the Mega Drive, but that nostalgia can't save this new bundled collection. Lacklustre packaging only serves to highlight the games' low points.

The Outer Worlds, a sci-fi, space-western RPG, is the strongest Obsidian Entertainment game yet. Set in the Halycon system, the player awakes after decades of hibernation to colonies corrupted by evil corporations.

Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville neatly captures the overall direction of the series as a whole; a little new growth, a little decay, and plenty of soil still left to fertilize.

Frostpunk is a gruelling city-building society simulator set in a world which is slowly freezing. The player's only goal is for their city and their people to survive — for as long as they can.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a stadium-sized game hosting a mediocre sports team. While Wildlands set a bold new direction for the long-running series, Breakpoint doesn't carry the torch far enough.

Telltale's The Walking Dead has one of the most storied and often tumultuous histories of any video game saga ever made. This final package from Skybound will feel redundant for casual fans, but the diehards will love it.

Man of Medan is a game we want to love – for all of its B-movie nonsense, there’s a “so bad it’s good” vibe that would be entertaining for playing in couch co-op. Sadly, it doesn't even meet those minimal standards.

The Sinking City is the latest in a long line of Lovecraft-inspired horror games. Unlike other recent tries, Frogwares doesn't stick to adapting one of the author's stories. Instead, they tell their own interesting but buggy tale.

Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age is a remaster of a game that was once revolutionary but in modern times misses heavily on the story and has to rely on its gameplay to be worth recommending.

Layers of Fear 2 heads on a spooky nautical adventure, but for most of the experience the story and level design seems to be treading water. Are there enough thrills and chills to justify stepping aboard?

Sumo Digital gave SEGA fans two good arcade racers during the previous console generation. They're back with a third entry now, but this time only Sonic's crew comes for the ride. The end result is another good effort.

Void Bastards stunned viewers when it debuted during December's Game Awards ceremony, and now that it's out it will surely do that again. It's a stylish, polished, and brilliantly executed video game virtually all should play.

The game is not a diamond in the panty drawer, but it's no skidmark either. It's a game with a clear vision that just doesn't have enough fuel in its tanks to make it all the way across the finish line.

RAGE 2 offers up a power fantasy like few games ever have. It looks great, plays like butter, and starts very strong. But the sheen of all your power comes crashing to a halt when the brief story leaves you with little else.

The Sniper Elite series has been on an upward trajectory for its entire run, with each game being markedly better than the last. Unfortunately, that means this remastering of 2012's game feels decidedly lackluster in 2019.

With great setpieces and an addictive class-based progression loop, World War Z is one of 2019's biggest and best surprises. Left 4 Dead fans should not miss it.

Mortal Kombat 11 plays with time to bring back fan favorite fighters and the end result is a game that feels just the series always did with a dash of a modern gameplay. In other words, it was just what I hoped it would be.

I strongly believe there’s conclusive evidence to reach a verdict. I hold that the Ace Attorney Trilogy is a guilty of being a great series. And that's no crime.

This latest remaster reaches all the way back to the eighties for its source material, but perhaps there is some value in returning to the classics? Shadowgate doesn't innovate, but in a way it's still refreshing to play.

I had been calling My Time at Portia a farm life sim for over a year now, and though it's fair to call it that, in retrospect it doesn't seem accurate enough. Your time at Portia can excitingly be spent however you'd like.

Calls for a new Burnout game have become part of the gaming meme-scape as much as Half Life 3 or another Skate. Sometimes we need to be careful what we wish for though. This clone is more Burnt-out than Burnout.

After playing it for the first time in 2019, I can sincerely say that by fixing some issues and highlighting what worked the first time, Assassin’s Creed III Remastered represents an excellent gaming experience even today.

No matter how you felt about the first game, The Division 2 is likely to please players on all sides of the conversation. There's something here for fans, critics, and newcomers alike.
