• PS5
• 5 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

An absurdly generic Dark Souls clone whose general competence is all the more frustrating for the fact that it refuses to come up with a single new idea of its own.

• SWITCH
• 6 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A charming, if basic, detective game is transformed into a patronisingly simplistic visual novel for only the youngest of Pokémon fans.

• PS5
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

Assassin’s Creed gets back-to-basics with a shorter, more focused – if slightly less polished -campaign, and a return to an impossibly beautiful looking early-era Middle East.

• SWITCH
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

The debt to Advance Wars still overshadows it, but despite a relative lack of new features this is a solid sequel to one of the best indie strategy games of the last few years.

• XSX/S
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A fabulously detailed racing game with a huge car roster and engrossing single-player modes, slightly marred by forcefully encouraging you to perform practise laps before races.

• PS5
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

The slickest, smoothest and most technologically advanced not-FIFA game ever made, that makes an encouragingly positive start to a new era of football video games.

• PS5
• 4.5 / 5
• Royaume-Uni

A wordless and atmospheric puzzle game that’s just as ingenious and inventive as Limbo and Inside, but with more substantial gameplay and perfect pacing.

• PS5
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A taut, characterful headrush of an expansion that completes Cyberpunk 2077’s redemption and re-establishes it as one of the great open world adventures of the generation.

• PS5
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

The story campaign and, arguably, the fighting are the best they’ve ever been for Mortal Kombat, although there’s currently a lack of other modes and Invasion is a disappointment.

• PS5
• 5 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A competent facsimile of Bloodborne, but one so completely lacking in new ideas that it can only ever come across as a pale imitation.

• PS5
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A highly competent platform puzzler that’s starting to play things a little too safe, especially as it refuses to address long-standing issues like the bland combat.

• PS5
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A welcome homage to JRPG classic Chrono Trigger and one of the best-looking 2D games of recent years, even if it’s not really doing anything new.

• SWITCH
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

• PS5
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A significant improvement on the original and undoubtedly the best 2D Soulslike game so far, with a macabre and imaginative style all of its own.

• PS5
• 5 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

An ambitious magic-themed shooter which, despite its impressive, flashy combat, buckles under the weight of its influences and slapdash execution.

• PC
• 9 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

An incredible achievement in role-playing game design, in terms of the level of freedom and interactivity – although even ignoring the bugs it’s not quite as consistent as you might hope.

• SWITCH
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

It captures the soul of Jet Set Radio perfectly but with only a limited attempt to evolve the formula for modern times this feels uncomfortably trapped in the early 2000s.

• SWITCH
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

One of the best arcade games of recent years is now available on Switch and it’s just as ugly and joyfully addictive as ever – especially with the new co-op mode.
