When LEGO Marvel Super Heroes initially arrived on consoles four years ago, it was Traveller’s Tales’ first outing of the next generation, but even with the restraints of developing for the older consoles at the same time, it was still an impressive debut. The roster blew my mind with its sheer size, the original story hooked me in, but despite that, the same old LEGO gameplay held it back a little. So I guess Traveller’s Tales need to top that in the sequel and their latest offering, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2.

And now, the end is near, it’s time for the Guardians to face their final curtain in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series. It’s been a rollercoaster ride right from the opener, without ever reaching great heights or massive lows along the way. Could the finale, “Don’t Stop Believin’”, buck the trend and deliver a climax to remember? Or should it bit written off as one of the rare mediocre series of the Telltale catalogue?

As a fan of wrestling since way back when the WWE shared its name with the panda foundation, I’ve seen the highs of the Attitude Era and a fair few lows since then. The same goes for the video games based on professional wrestling, with recent yearly offerings from 2K and Visual Concepts dipping in quality. WWE 2K17 was massively disappointing in a lot of areas, which almost guarantees that the latest title, WWE 2K18, will be an improvement, right? The developers have learnt from their mistakes... surely?

Earlier this year, The Inner World made its jump from PC to Xbox One to great acclaim from the curious gamers who gave the zany characters and narrative a chance to impress. It was a jolly good point-and-click adventure and developers Studio Fizbin revealed plans to deliver a sequel to the tale. Now those plans have come to fruition, with The Inner World: The Last Wind Monk arriving on console. Is it bigger, better, and more worthy of the higher price tag it possesses? Or should the quirky world of Asposia be forgotten and laid to rest?
