Format PC, PS4, PS5 [tested]
Release Out now
Finales can be difficult to pull off, not least when a developer and players don’t want a good thing to end. While any long-running series runs the risk of lapsing into dreary familiarity, Final Fantasy XIV has gone from strength to strength with each expansion. It would perhaps be disingenuous to simply call them expansions: each, from Heavensward to Shadowbringers, has stories, destinations and setpieces to rival any standalone RPG. With Endwalker, then, Square Enix’s Creative Business Unit III pulls out all the stops to give its players the Moon and then some, capping off its long-running story arc with all the grandeur a Final Fantasy game can muster, while leaving the door ajar for more adventures.

Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles
Anyone familiar with the concept of kitbashing is already halfway to understanding what Tomas Sala’s open-world builder is all about.
Children Of The Sun
René Rother’s acrid revenge thriller – an action game with its limbs broken and forcibly rearranged into the shape of a spatial puzzler – is at once a bonafide original and an unlikely throwback. Cast your eyes right and you wouldn’t blink if we told you this was a forgotten Grasshopper Manufacture game from the early PS3 era (we won’t be at all surprised if this finds a spot on Suda51’s end-of-year list).

The pawn and the pandemic
Dragon's Dogma 2
The road from Vernworth to Bakbattahl is scenic but arduous. Ignore the dawdling mobs of goblins, and duck beneath the chanting harpies that circle on the currents overhead, and even moving at a hurried clip it is impossible for a party of four to complete the journey by nightfall.
