Animal Well
Animal Well is one of those works that seem to have been scooped out of a single skull: a chilly clump of sweet dreams and obsessions, pleasures and manias.
This is a handsome remaster that will hopefully win over new players, but for those already in love with Broken Sword, something is missing.
There is enough pleasant fun here to divert you, and there are flutters of real invention. You just wish that it ran a little further.
A choose-your-own horror without any fright, The Casting of Frank Stone has an intriguing plot that doesn’t end up delivering.
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter is not, nor was it, a good video game, but this loving remaster makes you think of what may still come.
Conscript
Conscript may not be a true survival horror, but it taps into that legacy and roots it in fertile soil.
Kunitsu-Gami is exactly the sort of thing we need more of, the kind of game that you kid yourself used to crop up regularly in generations gone by.
Braid is a classic, and this edition features beautifully redone art and music, with hours of excellent developer commentary.
Indika
Indika is a must. It stays with you, its heroine is fascinating, and its surreal vision is unsettling. You haven’t played anything like it.
Skull and Bones is a dull exercise in checklist progression, spiced here and there with some impressive sailing.
A beautiful Britain, an exuberant driving engine, and generosity of spirit make Forza Horizon 4 a masterclass.
