The Walking Dead: The Final Season - Episode 1: Done Running
The Walking Dead: The Final Season is off to a cracking start, thanks to the dynamic relationship between Clem and AJ and some of the strongest dialogue in the series to date. Episode One - Done Running Props to Clementine. Despite everything... more

The Gardens Between
A seductive art style, hazy synth sounds, and some well-designed puzzles give The Gardens Between a pleasant mood, but it doesn’t stay in the mind long after the credits. If you didn’t know who made The Gardens Between and you had to guess... more

Mario Tennis Aces
Mario Tennis Aces is a good tennis game let down by an Adventure Mode that often feels as though it's cheating you. Andy Murray and Steffi Graf are just finishing off their opponents.... more

State of Mind
The originality of its vision and the thrust of its narrative more than excuse some sci-fi clichés, and you’re left with a breezy adventure game which compels with its ideas, if not always with its play. All is not well in the world of Richard Nolan. He’s just been in a... more

Guacamelee! 2
While its impact isn't as great as the original, Guacamelee 2 is a reminder of how good combat and traversal can feel when married together as they are in this 2D platformer-cum-brawler. More respected than El Santo, and more influential than Mil... more

Stay
Stay’s compelling lead character and gripping dialogue ensures you’ll want to see Quinn’s journey through to the end. It’s just a shame it spends a bit too much time testing your patience with irksome puzzles and some needless waffling. Stay reminds me of those many hours I spent hunched over my computer,... more

Dragon Ball FighterZ
More online testing to be done, but so far Dragon Ball FighterZ is indeed pretty... super [pause for riotous applause and laughter] Dragon Ball FighterZ received an almost baffling swell of immediate... more

Hollow Knight
Dark and beautiful, you’ll come for Hollow Knight’s visual appeal, but you’ll stay for the challenge and responsive combat. It’s hard to remember when exactly the Metroidvania became so popular... more

Octopath Traveler
Octopath Traveler is a deep, diverse, interesting, sometimes risque and sometimes funny JRPG that you should play. In many ways, Octopath Traveler is the JRPG I’ve been long dreaming... more

Dead Cells
Dead Cells is, at times, constrained by the genres it so heavily draws from, but its vibrant pixel art, furious combat, and rigorous execution make for a winning formula all its own. The star of Dead Cells is a curious figure. He moves beautifully, like a... more

Overcooked 2
It doesn't try and reinvent the wheel, but Overcooked 2 is still a fantastic and barmy co-op romp that will entertain you and a group of mates for hours on end. Overcooked 2 taught me an important lesson: Gordon Ramsay has it pretty... more

FIFA 19
FIFA 19 is the finest playing game in the series. The Journey may be after running its course, but the fluid representation of football, the added element of Dynamic Tactics, and the madness of the updated Kick Off mode are all wonderful. Tony Britten created magic in 1992 when he composed a three minute anthem... more

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
The definitive Super Smash Bros. game, Ultimate is not only a pure and unadulterated joy, but also a fantastic fighting game stuffed to the gills with characters and other content. A little smasher. In these times of Uber and Deliveroo, and the culture of wanting everything... more
