King of Fighters XIV

"It may not be the king of the whole genre, but it's still a decent fighter that longtime fans and newcomers alike will enjoy."

Blacksea Odyssey

"Once you figure out how a monster behaves you may grow tired of them, especially those that are fiddly to take out."

Hitman: Bangkok

"Once again IOI has delivered a sandbox full of dastardly death-dealing."

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

"It's an experience that conveys choice, with its narrative sculpted around your actions and combat approachable in multiple ways."

F1 2016

"It's a vast improvement over last year's game, in no small part due to fact that the career mode is back."

Hearthstone: One Night in Karazhan

"It's a good entry point for all the old World of Warcraft players who want to feel a bit nostalgic."

Bound

"The lack of variation means the platforming fails to match the visuals and atmosphere."

Grow Up

"It offers a unique and whimsical experience filled with excitement and sometimes even an almost meditative sense of calm."

Reigns

"The unforgiving yet highly entertaining gameplay will keep you coming back for more."

Starbound

"Whether you choose to explore, hack away at extraterrestrial lifeforms, or even create new colonies - the choice is entirely yours."

Duskers

"The game is atmospheric, tense, and can at times be great fun."

No Man's Sky

"It's about more than just finding out what's at the centre of the galaxy. It's about the experience."

Overcooked

"It's simple controls make it easy for anybody to pick up and play, and the action remains fresh throughout."

Quadrilateral Cowboy

"It dazzled us with its ingenuity, frustrating only for fleeting moments. Praise indeed, but it comes with the caveat that this isn't for everyone."

Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness

"In the end, there's really only one thing that truly stands out here: the title, Integrity and Faithlessness."

Brutal

"While nodding its head to games of the past, then, the slick visuals and smooth gameplay bring that formula to the present in an engaging way."

Abzû

"It's a beautiful adventure from start to finish."

Batman: The Telltale Series - Episode 1

"The story-telling approach is brutal from the beginning, the opening shot telling you all you need to know."

Headlander

"It may not be the most polished and rewarding metroidvania we've ever come across, but it certainly makes up for it in other areas."

Hyper Light Drifter

"It wears its retro influences proudly on its sleeve, whilst also implementing its own character and flair."

Lovely Planet Arcade

"Although it's certainly challenging, the variety offered isn't huge."

Total War: Warhammer - Call of the Beastmen

"The race is just about different enough to warrant the opening of your wallet, especially if you're into hyper-aggressive tactics."

This is the Police

"We felt punished for our decisions throughout, and after a while, destined to fail."

Necropolis

"Necropolis is designed to be played with friends; playing alone can be frustratingly difficult."

Adrift

"Overall, in spite of some enjoyable moments and some sights to marvel at, Adrift felt a bit too much like the wrecked space station itself."

Democracy 3: Electioneering

"This isn't going to revolutionise the world but it certainly provides some food for thought despite its limitations."

10 Second Ninja X

"The ninja's nimble movements required a lot of patience and persistence to master, this despite having a simplistic control scheme."

Grand Kingdom

"This game may appeal to those who don't normally appreciate JRPGs, and its particular strategy is easy to get into, yet provides depth."

Zombie Night Terror

"Lead the zombies you create throughout various multi-tiered levels by clicking and pointing your army of undead towards tasty brains."

Ghostbusters

"Ghostbusters is a terrible game without depth and meaning, with mechanical flaws everywhere you look."

The Assembly

"This is a decent VR title, but it also stands up as a traditional adventure in its own right."

I am Setsuna

"Toyko RPG Studio has managed to craft an experience that feels like a lost JRPG classic rather than a modern day re-imagining."

Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book

"We'd like to think of this as an evolution, an alchemy experiment that mixes the old with the new."

Brigador

"You blow stuff up with a big gun, and really, when it comes to mech games, what more could you ask for!?"

Hawken

"If you're after a mech shooter to while away a few hours, look no further."

Pokémon Go

"It isn't without its flaws, but what's there is engaging, innovative, and most importantly, fun."

MilitAnt

"Being pretty much forced to auto aim removes a lot of the fun from what are otherwise good ideas."

Monster Hunter Generations

"Monster Hunter Generations builds upon its illustrious predecessor and refines the concept even further."

Song of the Deep

"You'll be instantly hooked by the game's alluring visuals and skillfully-crafted environments."

Dead by Daylight

"It's an atmospheric and frightening experience, one that has the ability to thrill and delight in equal measure."

Furi

"If you seek a true challenge with great design and gameplay, this game is for you."

Carmageddon: Max Damage

"It's the sub-par handling and non-existant car physics that cause the most damage."

Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII

"Ultimately it's a decent all round experience capable of satisfying genre newcomers and veterans alike."

Xcom 2 - Shen's Last Gift

"The story mission is fleeting but decent, and the new soldier class will change the dynamic of any mission."

7 Days to Die

"It would have been quite entertaining if it hadn't been for the technical side of things letting the team down."

Valentino Rossi: The Game

"It has enjoyable physics, and a whole lot of content. Milestone has clearly turned a corner."

Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator

"It's the gem your fighter collection is missing. It's close to perfect and comes highly recommended."

Umbrella Corps

"Yet another watered down multiplayer game that doesn't quite seem to grasp what genre it belongs to, and which disappoints on all fronts."

Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens

"If you're not already tired of the concept you're practically guaranteed to have a good time."

The Technomancer

"It's a diamond in the rough that will be appreciated by fans of the genre."
