• Royaume-Uni

What starts as a sweet and endearing homage to 90s gaming evolves into a sophisticated and, at times, dark exploration of two troubled youths, in one of the best indie games of the year.

• PC
• 2 / 5
• Royaume-Uni

A misguided attempt to recreate one of gaming’s oldest and most influential classics, that’s let down by outdated visuals and prehistoric gameplay elements.

• XSX/S
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

Easily the best One Piece video game there’s ever been and a genuinely fun and innovative Japanese role-player in its own right.

• PS4
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

The best sequel to Chrono Trigger there’s never been, with a pseudo-Japanese role-player that maintains a delicate balance between retro homage and modern indie game.

• PC
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

It’s ugly as hell, and initially quite slow, but Vampire Survivors is the most compelling dual-stick shooter for years, even if it doesn’t actually use dual sticks.

• PC
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

The best 2D shooter for several years and a fantastic homage to the genre, with some of the best pixel art graphics of the year.

• XSX/S
• 5 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A colourful, silly and deliberately over-the-top first person shooter, with severely undercooked gunplay and a sense of humour that will test the patience of even Rick and Morty fans.

• SWITCH
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

Charming and relaxing is not how you’d describe the average action role-player but this wholesome Dragon Quest spin-off is an enjoyably undemanding, family friendly adventure.

• PS5
• 4 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

An inspired piece of Final Fantasy 7 fan service, and a very good remaster, but as a standalone game the story and gameplay has very little value.

• PC
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A fantastically idiosyncratic approach to both superheroes and turn-based strategy, that manages to remain perfectly accessible without ever talking down to its audience.

• PS5
• 6 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

Dead Space 4 in all but name, except with no puzzles and surprisingly little suspense. The Callisto Protocol has plenty of gritty action but that’s not quite enough to sustain interest for its entire duration.

• PS5
• 6 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

The best Need For Speed in a decade – but that says far more about the moribund state of the franchise than it does this workmanlike new entry.

• SWITCH
• 6 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

For a 27-year-old game with only minor changes this is still an enjoyably taxing tactical role-player but it’s new games this series needs, not more remakes.

• PS5
• 5 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

An enjoyable combat system is left to flounder in an otherwise unambitious ode to Xbox 360 era shooters, that quickly gets too repetitive to enjoy.

• PS5
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

Easily the best of The Dark Pictures anthology series, with a horror story that is deliciously chilling, surprisingly well acted, and far more interesting to play than its predecessors.

• PS5
• 5 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

Being closer to a traditional video game does more harm than good, in a game that is all too proficient at making anarchic mayhem seem boring.
