I found myself circling bosses, trying to back them against a wall so my PC didn't have to render the scenic view on the other side of the arena.
The Plucky Squire makes for a fascinating interplay of 2D and 3D puzzles, battles, and diverse minigames.
The novelty of a 13-character cast is a solid hook for Wild Bastards, but a myriad of streamlined and sidelined elements compromise its potential to the point of becoming a trip to outer space that you won't remember for long after hitting credits.
Yars Rising keeps the spirit of its inspiration alive through the robust old-school challenges of a hacking game, but as a 2D Metroidvania it all falls a bit flat. Great controls, fun ability progression, and a killer soundtrack can't elevate the game past the limitations of its straightforward level design.
Astro Bot doesn't just deliver on the promise and potential displayed in PS5 pack-in demo Astro's Playroom, but soars above and beyond to serve up a near-perfect platformer to rival – and possibly surpass – the best of Super Mario's Mushroom Kingdom romps.
"The best third-person shooter I've played in years"
Wisely rides Dragonflight's headwinds for a strong, confident kick off to the Worldsoul Saga
Concord doesn't deserve to be a punchline about low player-counts.
I quickly found the screen would get too cluttered to see my party or enemies, and with no optional targeting lines or much color coding going on, combat choreography is unintelligible.
"You really do feel a part of a wider world, rather than a function of it"
Despite some frustrations, Black Myth: Wukong feels great and finishes strong – so strong that I've half a mind to give New Game Plus a try, if only to find yet more stuff I missed.
An improved year for the big dog of Gridiron games – but unless you have to play as a pro, there's simply no reason to choose this over College Football 25.
Dustborn loses power when it feels the need to look straight at the camera and make sure you understand it
A new RTS player might actually have an easier time than a veteran.
"Though purely cosmetic, I often endangered my crew for an abandoned hat"
The best American football game in a decade, with a career mode which will take over your life – along with fabulous levels of college pageantry and authenticity.
It delivers a heavy message masterfully and with heaps of style.
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is an action-RPG that delivers on most of its promises, along with some solid side content that is well worth indulging in – even if the full game isn't anything particularly remarkable.
Flock is a warm, wooly hug of a game, mixing vibrant views with moreish creature collection action to create an adventure that's as light as the clouds you glide over. While its structure can end up feeling repetitive, this doesn't dull its charm.
Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail is a slow start to a new chapter.
