Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls

8/10

An impressive start to a new fighting game franchise, that has a few rough edges but also plenty of new ideas and some gorgeous animation for its varied roster of superheroes and villains.

Big Walk

9/10

A deceptively innovative co-op game whose cleverly designed world and puzzles encourage communication and group puzzle solving in an engaging but endearingly laidback manner.

Beast of Reincarnation

7/10

A solid and mostly successful attempt at a new IP by Game Freak, with a Soulslike-esque action game that’s a little longer than it needs to be and held back by a dull story and cast.

Splatoon Raiders

6/10

Salmon Run remains one of the great co-op experiences of the modern age but only a minimal effort has been expended in turning it into a single-player game, as Splatoon Raiders struggles to justify its existence.

Doom: The Dark Ages - Revelations

9/10

The best Doom game since the 90s, that successful marries the best parts of Eternal and The Dark Ages to make a ferociously entertaining first person shooter that is one of the year’s best gaming experiences.

Denshattack!

7/10

A purposefully bizarre idea that works extremely well as an arcade style romp, with just enjoy challenge and depth to keep you coming back for more.

D-topia

6/10

D-Topia is a sweet, slow-paced puzzler that deserves kudos for attempting to tackle the big questions around AI, even if it doesn’t quite manage to deliver a satisfying answer.

Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains

6/10

A pithy Star Wars party game loosely based on Monopoly, that’s quite a bit of fun with friends in the same room but distressingly uninteractive when playing on your own.

Star Fox

8/10

An excellent remake that retains everything that was great about the N64 original and adds just the right amount of quality of life improvement to keep it fun for modern audiences – even if it still leaves the franchise with an uncertain future.

Coffee Talk: Tokyo

7/10

A charming coffee shop sim that’s slow going but packs plenty of emotional wallop into its runtime, with a cast of colourful characters that are well worth the asking price to meet.

Forza Horizon 6

9/10

A giddying rush of fast cars, beautiful landscapes, and pounding music that never lets up; the forgiving driving model and continual feed of new events providing a conveyer belt of instant gratification.

Outbound

5/10

A competent camping and survival game set in an unpopulated wilderness, whose lack of narrative structure, threat, or competitive elements leaves it feeling disappointingly hollow.
