A shift in focus and a lack of content stop this racer from coming in first place, but as a fun and chaotic arcade racer, LEGO 2K Drive does a lot of things really well.
Burning Shores is an excellent expansion; one that builds on the foundations laid by Forbidden West with a heavy focus on story that anchors its, gameplay, and world-building. It may falter at points, but is still a must-play piece of the Horizon story.
LEGO Brickstales captures the fun and creativity of LEGO really well. Unfortunately, this fun but flawed construction-based puzzle game struggles to live up to the potential it shows in its first few hours.
A homage to the classic arcade games the Turtles are famous for. Shredder’s Revenge might not reinvent the wheel but it’s a solid beat 'em up packed to the brim with Ninja Turtles nostalgia.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is an incredible package that alters the expectations for a LEGO game with only a few poorly implemented features holding it back from harnessing the true power of the force.
WWE 2K22 is the best wrestling game to be released in close to a decade. Whilst not all of its modes will inspire, the overhaul to gameplay has made the action between the ropes so much more fun in a way that will please casual and hardcore fans alike.
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection uses the PlayStation 5 hardware to make two of PlayStation’s modern classics even better. It’s a must play for those new to the series whilst also being fresh enough for returning fans to warrant an overdue replay.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — Definitive Edition is a lazy attempt at bringing three classic games into the modern era. Visually inconsistent, riddled with bugs and below par in so many other areas, the only thing this collection has going for it is nostalgia and solid foundations.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is one of the most complete packages in all of video games. It rarely drops the ball and is absolutely the best way to play this trio of modern classics.
Deathloop
Everything about Deathloop is so clever and well balanced. Discovering Blackreef and all of its mysteries will stick with me for a long time.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is an over-the-top thrill ride that showcases the power of the PlayStation 5 whilst having the most fun possible. Fast, fluid and filled with outstanding set pieces and the series’ absurd arsenal of weapons, this game takes Insomniac’s action-platformer to another level.
Darq: Complete Edition is a solid puzzle game with a familiar look and an adequate challenge. The inclusion of two puzzle-heavy additional levels help affirm its identity, but it still always feels a bit torn between its two worlds.
