Initially revealed at PSX nearly four years ago, Golem was one of the most exciting games shown off by Sony in the early days of PSVR, boasting a development team made up of ex-Halo veterans and promising a fully-fledged adventure game.
With Need for Speed (2015) and Payback, EA seemed to lose grasp of what fans looked for from the series. Awkward Fast & Furious style stories, slot machine upgrades, and live-action segments were not what was needed to make Need for Speed the biggest name in racing again.
Looking back at the frustrating last few years, FIFA 20 is undeniably the biggest step forward the series has taken for a while, particularly in terms of new content.
Spiders’ last couple of games, Bound by Flame and The Technomancer, have been flawed but showed signs of promise and originality. Greedfall, the studio’s new title, is not only a step forward in terms of ambition, but also in terms of quality.
Flight School’s Creature in the Well is a curious mix familiar gameplay features. It’s being sold as a pinball inspired dungeon crawler, but there’s more to it than that.
EA’s Originals program has seen the release of a few great and unique games that couldn’t be more of a departure from the Battlefronts and Battlefields that we usually see from them. The most recent release under the banner is Sea of Solitude, which is a puzzle-based adventure game that puts...

13AM Games’ last title, Runbow, found success on Wii U with its unique style and fast-paced platforming. Its new game, Double Cross, moves away from the multiplayer structure, instead opting for a story focused, single-player action platformer in the style of the Mega Man series.
Avalanche Studios’ Just Cause games have always been about granting you the freedom to cause chaos in a huge sandbox. Not only in the scoring system that shares the name, but also in how the impressive physics engine allows for all manner of hilarious slapstick action.
Hippos, industrial fans, burning effigies, and tattoo guns, can all be used as weapons in Hitman 2. The sprawling, inventive sandboxes that Agent 47 calls home return, and you’ll have access to them all to assassinate targets in almost any way imaginable.
