Possessor(s)

6.5/10

Possessor(s) is perfectly fine while it's happening, but its rote exploration and weak enemy variety mean it'll be hard to remember once it's over.

Lumines: Arise

8.5/10

A nightmare to navigate, but you wake up to the most beautiful clash of non-intrusive puzzle gameplay, and fully realised visual design; the game Lumines was always meant to be.

Once Upon a Katamari

9/10

A soaring exercise of how to refresh a franchise, Once Upon a KATAMARI consistently stays neck-and-neck with its history, sometimes surpassing it.

Painkiller

4.5/10

Derivative, degenerative, and largely despondent in what it offers, the completely unnecessary co-operative core of this Painkiller reboot is what sabotages its potential.

The Outer Worlds 2

7.5/10

While there's little wrong with The Outer Worlds 2, it doesn't have a pull that will keep players wanting to devote hours to it.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

9/10

Pokémon Legends ZA is an incredible new entry set in a world that's as alive as the characters that inhabit it. The new battle system adds a unique level of chaos to keep battles constantly fresh, and exploring the world for new Pokémon never gets old.

PowerWash Simulator 2

8/10

PowerWash Simulator 2 comes fully soaped up with new map locations, more objects and buildings to clean, and much-needed adjustments and optimizations for a surprisingly enjoyable gameplay experience. However, with a blueprint set in stone for the first release, the developer didn't do much to shake it up, leaving the...

Ninja Gaiden 4

9/10

Ninja Gaiden 4 is a rollercoaster of action, with a rich combat system to master and plenty of badass scenarios to overcome. Ryu's sections don't live up to the hype, nor does the writing. Even so, this is the best action game to come out in years, and perhaps Platinum's...

Ball x Pit

8.5/10

Ball x Pit's glorious, anarchic chaos makes it a must-play roguelite for fans of over-the-top arcade fun, despite a couple of minor stumbles.

Ghost of Yotei

8/10

Ghost of Yotei builds on the foundation of its predecessor and offers more polished gameplay, but its uninspired tale of vengeance drags instead of soars.

Battlefield 6

8/10

Battlefield 6's campaign features a short and disappointing story filled with military jargon and not much else, but the multiplayer is the real highlight here. Multiplayer will absolutely keep players addicted with its strong progression system, vast maps, and outstanding gunplay.
