On the other, it follows Atlus’ Persona series into verbose Anime theatre, complete with awkward relationship building and a plot with more twists than a Grand Prix circuit. On one hand, it’s got the kind of furious, stylish combat you’d usually find in a Devil May Cryor Bayonetta. The mashup of influences in Bandai Namco’s sci-fi action game doesn’t quite make sense. In a nutshell: Hectically inventive close combat wrapped in a convoluted Anime plot. Jake Tuckerīest bit: Accidentally creating a frosty atmosphere in online co-op as each of you gets to control a participant in a failing marriage during crucial scenes. Characters will often die and it’ll feel unfair, but you won’t be tempted to go back through for that “perfect” ending, because every one of the Dark Pictures series feels like a complete movie, even if it occasionally means you’ll murder someone because you were eating a chocolate digestive during a quick-time event.

The masterful part of House Of Ashes is the way it leads you into a horror movie with you as the main star. House Of Ashes is the latest in the Dark Pictures series, but rather than the schlocky B-movie feel of them, this feels like a 2003 action-thriller, as shit goes incredibly sideways and your characters desperately try to make the night. If you read the above one-liner and didn’t think House Of Ashes might be the game for you, I don’t know what to tell you.
In a nutshell: US Marines reenact Aliens in a creature feature set during the 2003 Iraq war.

Platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC Michael Weberīest bit: Roadtripping with The Phantom Thieves across Japan. But with Persona 5: Strikers, Atlus have once again proved that this IP is among the very top echelons of video game franchises. Few video game series can effortlessly switch their fundamentals this well without shattering the overall experience. Though I would strongly recommend playing through Persona 5: Royal before embarking on another journey with the Phantom Thieves, Persona 5: Striker’s move toward the hack ‘n slash Musou combat system is elegant and helps it stand out against its genre-defining predecessor whilst maintaining Persona 5’s art style, sonic identity and overall aesthetic. Persona 5: Strikers manages to expertly walk the line between a spin-off and a sequel in a way few games can. Addictive, engaging and frenetic combat helps the Phantom Thieves win out in a struggle across Japan in this smart spin-off. The Phantom Thieves are back to once again prove that the Persona franchise is one of the best swiss army knife franchises on the market. In a nutshell: A triumphant example of how the best IPs can bend and mould into any gameplay system without sacrificing their core identity. List chosen by: Aaron Potter, Adam Cook, Alan Martin, Alan Wen, Demi Williams, Dom Peppiatt, Dominic Preston, Jake Tucker, James Law, Jen Allen, Jon Bailes,Matt Kamen, Michael Weber, Oisin Kuhnke, Vikki Blake and Will Nelson. Jake Tucker, commissioning editor (video games) Consider this an honourable mention for 343’s stellar shooter.
It’s the best shooter, personally, I’ve played since Titanfall 2 but we’re all about the process here. Halo Infinite is bloody brilliant, but it hasn’t yet been released so wasn’t able to be included in the scientific method to discover our writers favourite games for the year. Let’s address the elephant in the room here, too.
