Critique

With the same old-school gameplay and plenty of welcome additions, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is a worthy addition to the series.

DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods – Part One adds new levels, an engaging new narrative and new challenge to an already stellar experience.

Horror-themed JRPGs are surprisingly a niche market, and Compile Heart’s Death end re;Quest 2 is a fantastic entry point.

Projection: First Light is a beautifully designed Australian gem that still needs a lot of refining before it can be a viable option in the puzzle-platforming arena.

Hades is a lesson in taking the best of a number of genres and combining them into a smooth, slick gaming experience that players will be eager to return to.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a collection of three of the greatest 3D platformers of all time, which are all well worth experiencing again.

Kingdoms of Amalur’s remaster did little to change the game: the combat and character progression are as timeless as ever, but everything else is still eight years old.
