My first impressions of The Sinking City on Switch aren’t great

Wonky combat, crappy frame rates, dull environments. This… is not good.

Control is stunning, but it judders along like nobody’s business on a base PS4

This game is amazing – but I really wish I had the PC version instead.

I cant stop playing Sniper Elite 4.

One of many excuses I have used to avoid donning the helmet of dreams.

Hot fuss.

Fingers crossed for more Metroid.

The new mobile game is getting glowing reviews. I can’t work out why people think it’s good.

This Switch WipeOut-alike is frying my mind.

But where are all my damn Star Wars games?

The JoyCons, by contrast, are a bunch of arse.

Ex-Official Nintendo Magazine editor Chris Scullion has done an amazing job cataloguing every NES game.

Rockstar mistakes complication for realism.

Sure, streaming games might be unfeasible if your internet is slow, but it could be great for kids who can’t afford a new console.

The adventures of a bumbling assassin.

Vampyr is an awkward case where your actions don’t match up with the story of the game.

This is it. I’m doing this. Within the next few months, the slate is being wiped clean.

EA have a ten-year licence to make Star Wars games. Over five years in, they’ve only made two, both of them remakes.

Yoku’s Island Express! Tomb Raider! Inside! Firewatch! Batman: Enemy Within! And more! I certainly got through a lot of games this Christmas.

One thing that helps to thin out the backlog is sticking to just the genres you enjoy.

2018 was an amazing year for games, but there’s only so much time to play them all. Here are the ones I wish I’d had a chance to try.
