It is that time of year where every gaming website publishes their favourite games of the last 12 months, and we are no different. But after reviewing our list, I can confirm it is one of the more varied ones out there. With 2020 throwing a wobbler, we’ve all had that bit of extra time for gaming, and the variation of our entries showcases that especially well. Unexpected entries? Yes. Controversial?

A good alpha gives you something to look forward to, something to watch change over the coming year. A great alpha shows you exactly what you’re in for. Back 4 Blood does both.

Traditionally, January is the weakest month of the year for releases, yet January 2021 doesn’t fail to disappoint. There’s not a lot to shout about, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t some Xbox diamonds twinkling in the rough. If you are in the mood for remasters, Series X overhauls and indie darlings then January still has your back.

You can’t deny the commercial success of Xbox Game Pass over the last year. The aforementioned hard numbers are testament to that and Xbox has shown the model does have appeal with gamers.
