And, thank sweet robot christ, you can skip the scenes you’ve already seen. With nine possible endings, there’s good reason to go back and play through The Complex again, whizzing through to the ending to see how else the story could’ve panned out. The icing on the cake is how...
In terms of thrills and spills, Resident Evil 3 offers what is perhaps the best Resident Evil campaign ever. There’s less busywork to bog you down, allowing you to move through the game at an enjoyably brisk pace. And while it is no doubt more action-focused, it’s incredibly tense at...
Still, it’s clear to see that One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 is one of the best and most enjoyable games based on the hit One Piece franchise. It has a terrific roster of characters that are brought to life like never before, its story is ridiculously entertaining, there’s plenty of...
If you’re looking for a game that’ll keep your younger children occupied, Gigantosaurus: The Game could be it. Its built-in local co-op means it’s perfect for siblings to play together, and its Easy Mode means that even the youngest children can get a kick out of it. There’s plenty of gameplay...
Of course, The Foundation‘s narrative is just as much of a draw here as the action, but to say too much about it would spoil it. You can rest assured that it adds yet more meat to Control‘s world though. And so with that, The Foundation becomes a worthwhile expansion....
It’s dated, sure, but for £3.99/$4.99 you can’t really go wrong with DOOM 64. There’s just under 10 hours of solid gameplay here, and many might return to tackle the game’s harder difficulty levels. It won’t get your heart racing in the same way that more modern DOOM titles do,...
There has never been a better time for a new Animal Crossing game to arrive. It cannot fix what’s going on in the world right now, but Animal Crossing: New Horizons gives us the joyful, meditative escape that so many of us desperately need right now. Whether you’re young or old, you’ll find...
Its grave difficulty level means that TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2 isn’t for everybody. Also, while it packs in a hell of a lot more content than its predecessor, it’s still not the most generous racing package available. There’s no denying, however, that this is...
It isn’t perfect – one or two platforming sections can be a little frustrating, and encounter difficulty varies a lot – but to call DOOM Eternal anything other than phenomenal would be blasphemous. It makes DOOM 2016 feel like a trial run – a warm up to the main event,...
The hidden object genre is not for everyone. Its games are a niche breed, but for the right person they can provide a lovely, relaxing way to spend a couple of hours. Despite its questionable likeness to Hidden Folks, there’s no denying that Hidden Through Time makes a nice addition to the genre....
My Hero One’s Justice 2 is an unimaginative and unadventurous sequel; there’s no ambition here. It packs in a new story and more characters as if that’s enough, but it largely feels unchanged from its predecessor. Old issues inexplicably remain and the combat is as shallow as ever. So, while...
Nioh 2
Undoubtedly set to be one of the highlights of 2020, Nioh 2 is a confident follow-up that leaves the core of the game intact, renewing the experience by adding yet another rewarding layer. With its Yokai abilities, it further distances itself from the Souls-like genre, making combat deeper and more...
