Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
60
It's enjoyable enough, and has glimpses of vintage Metroid shining through, but Metroid Prime 4: Beyond could and should have been so much more. Our review.
Kirby Air Riders
Eurogamer

Kirby Air Riders pushes beyond the confines of a traditional racing game and serves up a fascinating genre-defying party racer.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
60
The latest Zelda and Musou crossover puts quite a lot of faith in your investment in Zelda lore, but at its heart is the best warriors gameplay in years.
The Outer Worlds 2
Eurogamer
80
The Outer Worlds 2 remains fluffy gaming comfort food for better and worse, but it is better than its predecessor in almost every way.
Mafia: The Old Country
60
Mafia continues to feel a tad dated in its design trappings, but there's beauty, efficiency and nuanced performances here that are well worth your time.
Donkey Kong Bananza
80
A brilliant core mechanic and clever design make Donkey Kong Bananza a delightfully sticky 3D platform adventure topped off with a sweet central partnership.
Starfield

9/10
90
Starfield is wider, wilder, and more ambitious than I expected - but also shows surprising restraint in many areas. More than the sum of its parts, it's the best game of this type Bethesda has delivered.
Cyberpunk 2077
RPG Site
9/10
90
When Cyberpunk's grim setting and mix of gameplay systems land, it is a powerfully impressive experience - sprawling, dense, clever, witty, and most importantly damn good fun. Other times, it has all the charm of a moody, edgy teenager.
Final Fantasy XV
RPG Site
8/10
80
Bold and brave, Final Fantasy XV brings back some of what made FF special to begin with. It's rough around the edges, but that's okay: where it counts, it's got heart.
Fallout 4
RPG Site
8/10

A strong improvement over its predecessors, small issues aren't enough to hold this title back.
Dragon Age: Inquisition
9/10
90
Dragon Age finds an exciting new direction with its largest-scale entry to date.
Borderlands 2
RPG Site
9/10

More guns, more loot, and more of Pandora. But is more enough?
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
9/10
90
We put Bethesda's latest under the spotlight - and it shines back even brighter than we anticipated.
Dark Souls
RPG Site
9/10
90
Namco's latest hands us death, difficulty and frustration - and we come out of it absolutely enamoured.
Fallout: New Vegas
