Hi-Fi Rush
We’ve seen plenty of rhythm-action games recently that put the emphasis more heavily on the latter half of that genre label, but perhaps none so much as Hi-Fi Rush.

Like A Dragon: Ishin
With this thorough, if not comprehensive, refurbishment of 2014’s formerly Japan-only release Ryu Ga Gotoku: Ishin, the recently retitled Like A Dragon series might just have found the most ideal expression of its dual personality. This is, after all, a game that has blended violent drama with broad comedy from day one – and Ishin duly delivers the bloodiest fights so far, while putting forward a strong case for being the funniest entry to date.

Sunday Gold
Timing is everything during a heist, but seldom as obviously as in Sunday Gold – a point-and-click crime caper that is technically a single 15–20-hour turn-based RPG encounter, played out in mansions, warehouses and laboratories across a near-future London.

Return To Monkey Island
There is a COVID joke in Return To Monkey Island. This shouldn’t be surprising, given that the series has always given its pirates distinctly modern concerns – retirement, health inspections, adequately expressing the power of Loom’s 3D engine.

Metal: Hellsinger
The rhythm shooter was, perhaps, inevitable. After all, a sense of timing and the ability to predict what’s coming next serve you equally well whether you’re lining up a head in your crosshairs or strutting your stuff on a Dance Dance Revolution machine.

Steelrising
Developing a Soulslike poses a very particular challenge. FromSoftware’s output is the yardstick by which all others are measured, and the studio has a habit of putting greater distance between it and its peers.
