4/5 Review

Paradise Killer is an extraordinary piece of work; one that the developers have made highly unique, while paying homage to games from years gone by.

If you love the mythological setting, sweet new armour sets and ability to turn into a bird, then Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök may be one of the best expansions in the series.

Century: Age of Ashes is an undeniably fun time. From the gorgeous graphics to the fun gameplay to the decently fair monetization, there is a lot to love here.

Wordbreaker isn’t just a solid Wordle clone, it is also one of the best POWGI games out on Xbox.

The Witch Queen expansion for Destiny 2 on Xbox Series X is one of the better ones that Bungie has produced.

Shredders does everything in its power to make you feel cool, it pays homage to the glorious sport of snowboarding and does wonders to try and welcome newcomers as well.

WWE 2K22 hits different. It hits way better than the last outing and only the game modes really hold it back from being considered a main event masterpiece. If you love wrestling, you should contemplate stepping into the squared circle with WWE 2K22.

The Wanderer: Frankenstein’s Creature has done pretty well on the awards front elsewhere, receiving critical acclaim when it released on other formats. It’s easy to see why too - I’ve loved what has been created here and the integration of the Mary Shelly Frankenstein story has been an inspired choice

If you are looking for a well thought out, challenging action platformer, Gunborg: Dark Matters has got all the ingredients needed to make it a success.

There’s more than meets the eye in The Last Cube. It may be unassuming, but it’s smart, deep and totally engrossing. 

Submerged: Hidden Depths nails its core aim. It’s an experience that plays more along the lines of an interactive art exhibit instead of a traditional game. That may not appeal to everyone, but it’s a slice of tranquillity we could all benefit from.

Clouzy is the Animal Crossing pet-raising spin off that never happened. A hidden gem that I can wholeheartedly recommend for any parents out there.

Epic adventures come in many forms these days, giving you an important choice to make. Do you go off to explore the Lands Between in Elden Ring? Perhaps embark upon a journey across the ravaged environments of Horizon Forbidden West? Or maybe a trip to Tux and Fanny’s garden to find a way to inflate a football? You might think the latter is a joke, but Tux and Fanny professes to be an epic point and click adventure. Seriously. Can it live up to its own hype?

If you can’t get enough of retro throwback platformers, love violent dark fantasy, or think that Holy Diver had the coolest album cover ever (you’re right) you owe it to yourself to buy a copy of Infernax. 

Aside from the odd problem and a lack of really new tracks, GRID Legends proves that once again Codemasters know exactly how to make a racer.
