Horizon Forbidden West
6.5

Robot dinosaurs. For many, that’s all I need to say. It’s a concept that makes so much sense that it’s almost ludicrous that it didn’t exist in games before Guerrilla Games gave us the first entry in the series, Horizon Zero Dawn. The Dinobots Industrial Complex must be daunting indeed.

Dead by Daylight has evolved into an unrivalled asymmetrical competitive multiplayer game, and one of the best horror games around.

Grounded plants the seeds of a good survival game in its miniaturist world, but it'll definitely take some time for them to grow.

There's a massive amount of content in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, though especially if you played Black Ops 3 last year there’s little of it that’s particularly impressive. The campaign is ignorable and the multiplayer needs a little technical work to be as good as last year’s, but the overly silly Zombies mode keeps me coming back. It may not stand out in a year that’s been crowded with great shooters, but it still produces that familiar Call of Duty action.

Doom is a tale of two very different shooters (and one quirky creation tool). The single-player campaign's reverent worship of the series' roots results in an old-school run-and-gun shooter which feels like imitation Doom, a cover of an old hit which nails all the right power chords but isn't exactly transformative. The multiplayer's attempts to borrow from the new to reinvigorate the old results in an experience which won't satisfy either school of thought. SnapMap, meanwhile, is a blend of weird and simple and endearing.
