Ben Lyons
Blair Witch
"It's Bloober Team's best work to date and is a treat for not only Blair Witch fans but horror enthusiasts as well."
Text: Sam Bishop
The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan
"The technical state of the game is enough to put a dampener on what's actually a very intriguing, if not short, first entry in The Dark Pictures."
Text: Sam Bishop
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey
"For the curious Georges out there seeking something different, it might have a certain appeal with its semi-pedagogic approach to evolution."
Wreckfest (Console)
"What starts off as a nice little run around ends up looking like it's been stripped for parts by the end of each race."
Text: Roy Woodhouse
Control
"The narrative is interesting, the side missions are incredible, the puzzles are trippy as hell in the best way possible."
Text: Lisa Dahlgren
The Church in the Darkness
"It keeps the adrenaline pumping, making you want to experiment more as you decide where you want to take the story. After a while, however, it starts to wear thin."
Exception
"It might not hit the heights of its competitors in the space, but it's definitely worth a try for those who like fast-paced, frantic platforming with a splash of combat thrown in."

Friday the 13th: The Game (Switch)
"We never thought playing a cooperative horror game on the go would be something we'd enjoy until now."
Text: Lisa Dahlgren
Age of Wonders: Planetfall
"The map and battles look great, with interesting varieties in the looks of units."
Text: Roy Woodhouse
Metal Wolf Chaos XD
"An explosive old-school mech shooter that packs plenty of humour within its absurd plot and offers heaps of weapon customisation capabilities."
Text: Kieran Harris
War Tech Fighters
"For some solid mech-based combat we can just about recommend it, but go in knowing that it's fun for a few hours but not much more."
Text: Andreas Blom
The Blackout Club
"The Blackout Club is a unique take on the horror-stealth genre that allows players to group up and experience fear as a team."

Ben Lyons
Wolfenstein: Youngblood
"The weapon handling is just as good as you'd expect, the story is great if a little sparse, and killing Nazis feels as great as ever."
Text: Lisa Dahlgren
Pool Nation
"The AI needs a bit of work, however, it's good if you're looking for something light and fun."
Text: Roy Woodhouse
Assassin's Creed Odyssey - Judgment of Atlantis
"Judgment of Atlantis will actually answer some questions you probably never thought you'd get the answers to."
Night Call
"The visuals work incredibly well with both the narrative and the feel of the game, immersing the player from start to finish."
Text: Lisa Dahlgren
Stranger Things 3: The Game
"Stranger Things 3: The Game doesn't do the series justice and it also doesn't bring much for those who aren't fans of the series."
Text: Lisa Dahlgren
Sea of Solitude
"It does have its moments and the unique mark of the developer clearly shows in the game's climax, but emotionally, the story feels too unfocused."
Outer Wilds
"You don't play Outer Wilds for its characters or narrative, but for the fantastic adventure and all the wonderful places you get to explore."
Text: Kristian Greiner Ådnesen
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
"After so many years of waiting for a new Castlevania game, we can say that Koji Igarashi has delivered a good one, even if it does arrive with a different name."
Text: Sergio Figueroa
We. The Revolution
"We. The Revolution is a bitter look into one of the most violent yet underrepresented periods in history."
Text: Sam Bishop
Riverbond
"It's certainly an enjoyable experience and would be a worthy choice for your next family game night, but single players should be wary."
Text: Kerry-Lee Copsey
F1 2019
"We didn't think F1 2019 could add much more, especially in such a short time frame, however, Codemasters has made pole position yet again."
Text: Graham Bellars
Samurai Shodown
"The classic fighter returns in good form and it brings its unique brand of consequence-heavy swordplay back for a new generation of fighting fans."
Text: Kieran Harris
The Sinking City
"Despite its flaws, the world Frogwares has created is intriguing and the narrative pulls the player in masterfully."
Text: Lisa Dahlgren
Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
"For those who never experienced it the first time around, or maybe hadn't even been born, you won't go far wrong with this beautifully crafted yet totally wacky reboot."
Text: Graham Bellars
The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr
"It may not receive the honour of being our favourite ESO expansion to date but Elsweyr still makes for a great time whether you're a beginner or a series veteran."
Text: Kieran Harris
Warhammer: Chaosbane
"It lets players face the action in whichever way they choose, be it a staggeringly difficult battle through chaos beasties or just a relaxing horde slaying experience."
Text:
Ben Lyons
Unruly Heroes
"A unique platforming experience which has tight mechanics and a combat system to set it apart from the rest."
Text:
Ben Lyons
Void Bastards
"On the cusp of finishing the game you may look at the array of derelicts, supply drops, space whales, and pirate ships and find it hard to want to keep playing."
Text: A. R. Teschner
Draugen
"Don't be fooled by the sleepy village of Graavik; there's so much more under the surface."
Text: Sam Bishop
Dauntless
"An enjoyable behemoth slaying co-op experience for those looking for a free-to-play alternative to what's out there."
Text: Ben Kerry
Layers of Fear 2
"The Royal Atlantic Line played host to may chilling moments and some surprisingly diverse locales."
Text: Kieran Harris
FAR: Lone Sails
"The game might be a short one, but it most definitely deserves your attention."
Descenders
"The movement mechanics and overall feel of the controls certainly carry the concept, and the fantastic soundtrack only elevates it."
Text: Ben Kerry
Team Sonic Racing
"Racing in teams forced us to approach things more tactically and we enjoyed the added depth of being able to mix and match different parts of our rides."
Text: Kieran Harris
Sniper Elite V2 Remastered
"We loved the X-ray kill-cam the first time we encountered it but extended exposure to it has lessened its impact somewhat."
Text: Mike Holmes
Fade to Silence
"It isn't a bad game, it just feels unfinished, and perhaps it should have kept its Early Access tags for a little while longer."
Text: Andreas Blom
Close to the Sun
"It's not a horror classic by any means, but this world is filled with terror, sadness, and a lot that's beautiful in its own weird way, all of which is worth seeing."
Text: Sam Bishop
World of Warships: Legends
"The joy of watching your shells blow up an enemy ship after a tense naval duel makes it well worth a look."
Giga Wrecker Alt.
"A challenging but enjoyable experience, which any action-adventure or Game Freak fan will undoubtedly be pleased with."

The Grand Tour Game - Full Season Review
"The Grand Tour Game's strict episodic format may be ambitious, but the gameplay that accompanies it most certainly is not."
Text: Ben Kerry
Bow to Blood: Last Captain Standing
"It's a really unique game with interesting mechanics that does a great job of putting you in the shoes of a sci-fi pirate.
Text:
Ben Lyons
Outward
"When Outward fails you, or you fail it, it stings just a bit more, in part because the game is so different from a lot of what's out there."
Text: A. R. Teschner
World War Z
"World War Z is really fun to play, brings co-op zombie annihilation back to where the fans want it to be..."
Text: Lisa Dahlgren
God's Trigger
"The solid shooting mechanics and thematically varied levels are interesting enough to drive you through the main story campaign."
Text: Ben Kerry
Generation Zero
"It might have been better to keep things more focused rather than trying to build a huge open world."
Text: Ben Kerry
Dangerous Driving
"While there's still the same joy in grinding metal with other racers on the track, Dangerous Driving doesn't quite recapture Burnout 3's magic."
