• PS5
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A solidly constructed VR roguelite that combines guns and magic for some memorable runs, even if its graphics and setting won’t be winning any awards.

• SWITCH
• 5 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A peculiarly pitched spin-off that has almost nothing to interest Bayonetta fans and instead offers an Ōkami Lite experience that is so undemanding it almost seems to run on autopilot.

• XSX/S
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

An improvement on last year’s already firm foundations, WWE 2K23 continues the franchise’s rebirth with steady improvements, beefed up game modes, and an epic recreation of WarGames.

• PS5
• 5 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

• PC
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A short but sweet VR romp that replicates the Peaky Blinders universe perfectly, even as it runs up against some of the intrinsic limitations of VR gaming on the Meta Quest 2.

• PS5
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A disappointing follow-up to Nioh, that has most of its same qualities but, unfortunately, almost exactly the same flaws; with too few new ideas to make up for the lack of advancement.

• PS5
• 6 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A fun and accessible introduction to the world of Catan but technical failings and a lack of options mean it’s not quite the adaptation it could’ve been.

• SWITCH
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A competent and entertaining faux-retro Japanese role-player but apart from the new characters almost nothing has changed since the first one.

• PC
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

The real-time battles are better than ever but rather than being a highlight the main story campaign is a peculiarly dull experience, that exposes the lack of genuinely new ideas.

• PC
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A fascinating reimaging of an 80s classic that never quite existed, but as interestingly unique as it is, it lacks the elegant simplicity of its more famous stablemates.

• SWITCH
• 5 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

An underserved remaster to an unremarkable 2D platformer, that was the primary reason why the soft reboot of Kirby And The Forgotten was necessary in the first place.

• PS5
• 5 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

The mix of highbrow story concept and complex first person combat is certainly reminiscent of Bioshock, but this churlish homage has nowhere near the same nuance in terms of either plot or gameplay.

• PS5
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

Arguably the best Monster Hunter clone ever made and while it’s not quite as good as Capcom’s series it does have some unique and interesting ideas of its own – despite initial impressions to the contrary.

• PS5
• 6 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

An effective tech demo but it struggles to be anything else, not least because for the majority of the time it’s just a fairly vanilla climbing simulator.

• PC
• 9 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

• SWITCH
• 10 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

An excellent remaster of one of the best games of its generation, that looks and plays so well you could easily mistake it for a modern game.

• PS5
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A truly wizard RPG, whose historical setting frees it from the limitations of the books and films, with an open world experience that entertains no matter how much you care about the source material.

• PS5
• 6 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A poignant, slow-paced but ultimately shallow exploration of memory and legacy in a changing world, that also manages to be the world’s first cycle-based walking simulator.
