DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations is an exhilarating, masterfully crafted thrill ride which grabs you by the scruff of the neck from the very start, and doesn't let go.

Dispatch is one of those rare experiences that you simply can't stop playing.

Sure, The King is Watching has some control quibbles on console (get a mouse, peon), but I’m the King, so I am allowed to brand it with the score that I want. And that score is a 5.

007 First Light is a triumph. It has a legitimate claim to the best James Bond game ever, managing to reboot the series whilst cherishing what makes it so special. It’s the start of a new era for Bond, which will leave you shaken, not stirred. 

The real beauty of Forza Horizon 6 is in how the Japanese world feels alive, and how rewarding it is to just go bimbling about. FH6 was always going to be an easy sell, and a reskinned FH5 would probably have sufficed, but Playground Games have smashed it out of the park. The world is great, the cars are amazing, and the racing action, whether on the streets, on the track, or in the wilds, is second to none. 

How long Once Human can keep you engaged will be up to you.

As move tie-ins go, Halloween: The Game gets an awful lot right.

It's not a dramatic change from last year, but NHL 27 is still entertaining and enjoyable.

NBA 2K27 is hugely enjoyable, packed with content and capable of providing a top-quality basketball experience.

BioEden is a welcome addition to the sim market, delivering a substantial and relaxing gaming experience. 

After playing Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia, we can still taste the rainbows.

I feel like Afil Games took a big swing with Hole in Many, and they covered a great distance but landed in the rough.

Mewgenics offers many things...

I hope more people get Shoe it All! In their hands and then insta-buys it, because it’s the most immediately enjoyable game I’ve played this year.

Thinking back on my time in Tormentum II, I’m glad I swan-dived into its macabre world.

I like my hidden object games to have a smidge of character. Family Roadshow: Hidden Adventures Collector’s Edition is absolutely not that kind of hidden object title.

We’ve come to expect more from our Xbox platformers than Rune Axe.

After years of Hot Wheels games, HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush finally gets it right. This is the Hot Wheels game we've been waiting for.

I struggle to think of a better sokoban package than Puzzledorf.

Dual Bunnies isn’t the most accessible game to play, thanks to some poor introductions and confused usability, but once you are clued into what it is doing, the sophistication becomes clear.
