Anno 117: Pax Romana
I can't help but compare Anno 117 to Anno 1800, which, after several years of chunky DLC, is one of the best and most complete city-builders of all time. Release-day Anno 117 was always going to feel slight by comparison. But I've already started four separate playthroughs focusing on different...
ARC Raiders
Inevitably, that project will become a reality. Whether it's used in Arc Raiders, and whether that changes or hampers the work of developers, remains to be seen, but it could well change how I feel about a game where the mere presence of genAI already makes me feel slightly icky...
Strange Antiquities
Even so, the satisfaction of a fully-ticked list kept me going to the end, and I happily lingered for a few more hours to identify objects I'd missed. The highs of Strange Antiquities – and there are many – match those of anything else I've played this year, and surely...
Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville’s PvE campaigns aren't worth your time, but the PvP multiplayer is addictive, chaotic fun. Once a match finishes, it’s always tempting to hang around for one more, grabbing a new character this time with a completely different playstyle. The formula hasn't changed much since...
Telling Lies is a rich, deep story that keeps on giving, even after you’ve finished your first playthrough. Every one of its short video clips is packed with meaning, and working out where you should go next is rewarding because each subplot is gripping: once I’d started following a thread...
Mordhau
Mordhau is a complex medieval melee game that’s tough on beginners but satisfying to master, especially in one-on-one duels. Its robust character creator allows for plenty of different playstyles, and its large, varied maps will mean no two rounds feel the same. A long list of game modes means you’re...
A fascinating, fantastical world let down by plodding pacing.
The surreal horror spectacles don't make up for dull detective work.
PES doesn't quite hit the mark this year.
Death's Gambit
Ambitious ideas and a twisting story are marred by bad design choices.
A great on-field baseball sim with solid online play.
Crossing Souls
Crossing Souls is a tribute act that never finds its own voice.
