Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
"It's an experience that conveys choice, with its narrative sculpted around your actions and combat approachable in multiple ways."
Text: Kieran Harris
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."
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."
Text: Katrine Baumgardt
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."
Text: Kieran Harris
Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness
"In the end, there's really only one thing that truly stands out here: the title, Integrity and Faithlessness."
Text: Carl Brännström
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."
Text: Sam Bishop
Abzû
"It's a beautiful adventure from start to finish."
Text: Bengt Lemne
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."
Text: Paul Davies
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."
Text: Bengt Lemne
Hyper Light Drifter
"It wears its retro influences proudly on its sleeve, whilst also implementing its own character and flair."
Text: Kieran Harris

Text: Aldin Sadikovic
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."
Text: Bengt Lemne
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."
Text: Kieran Harris
Ghostbusters
"Ghostbusters is a terrible game without depth and meaning, with mechanical flaws everywhere you look."
Text: Björn Ragvald
The Assembly
"This is a decent VR title, but it also stands up as a traditional adventure in its own right."
Text: Mike Holmes
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."
Text: Kieran Harris

Text: Kieran Harris

"It's the sub-par handling and non-existant car physics that cause the most damage."
Text: André Wigert
Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIII
"Ultimately it's a decent all round experience capable of satisfying genre newcomers and veterans alike."
Text: Kieran Harris
Valentino Rossi: The Game
"It has enjoyable physics, and a whole lot of content. Milestone has clearly turned a corner."
Text: Kim Orremark
Guilty Gear Xrd: Revelator
"It's the gem your fighter collection is missing. It's close to perfect and comes highly recommended."
Text: Ernesto J. Pérez-Durias
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."
Text: Philip Lauritz Poulsen
Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens
"If you're not already tired of the concept you're practically guaranteed to have a good time."
Text: Kim Orremark
The Technomancer
"It's a diamond in the rough that will be appreciated by fans of the genre."
Text: Lisa Dahlgren
Kick Off Revival
"With the launch version feeling distinctly incomplete, at this stage it's hard to recommend."
Text: Mike Holmes
Trials of the Blood Dragon
"You get a handful of decent Trials tracks, and some amusing jokes, but the rest of the game is a mess."
Text: Morten Bækkelund
Salt and Sanctuary
"It's a singularly interesting experience that loses little for treading on some familiar ground."
Text: A. R. Teschner
Dangerous Golf
"We were left frustrated by the loading times in the solo mode, and given the nature of the gameplay loop, we think more work should have been done to optimise."
Text: Christian Gaca
Mighty No. 9
"While it may lack the charm and originality of the platformers of yesteryear, Beck's first full length adventure is still an enjoyable one."
Text: Kieran Harris
Dungeons 2
"Although its overall structure and quests may start to feel repetitive in its later stages, there is still much to be enjoyed."
Text: Kieran Harris
Dead Island Definitive Collection
"After playing more recent zombie games, especially Dying Light, it feels old and outdated."
Text: Sofia Hariz
One Piece: Burning Blood
"It takes some important steps away from Pirate Warriors and give players a more classic fighting game with some new ideas."
Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter
"In terms of what really matters - the cases, the narrative, the research - it keeps its promises."

"If you loved the original and just want more of the same, this will definitely keep you entertained."

Text: Sergio Figueroa
Hitman: Marrakesh
"There's two great story assassinations to play through in A Gilded Cage, and both offer up plenty of interesting opportunities."
Text: Mike Holmes

Text: Bengt Lemne
Shadow of the Beast
"It's an interesting combination of old and new (or newish) game design."
