This zombie-smashing action game is a strong post-apocalyptic adventure with top-tier parkour movement, an expansive
Each and every week the gods at EA come together to deliver a squad of players from those who have had worldies in the real world. You may find someone has scored a hat-trick, a screamer from 40 yards or has put in a defensive masterclass – and this week those stars have been on
Popping out for a bite to eat took on a brand-new meaning with 2015’s Dying Light, and now again with its bigger, darker, and even more dystopian sequel. Light and dark plays a big part in this vampiric tale, including ray tracing editions for new-gen consoles and higher-end PCs. So, let’s sample the bits and

Like an over-eager puppy, Gav-Gav Odyssey won’t sit down. As we played through its puzzle levels, it kept bringing us new ideas and different types of puzzles. It couldn’t manage five levels in a row without shifting the gameplay into a completely different direction. As an approach to making a game, it’s as double-edged a

Playing Jack ‘n’ Hat, it’s easy to get misty-eyed with nostalgia. It’s clearly been made by people who loved their platformers in the period between 1983 to 1993. Jack looks like Alex Kidd or Wonderboy with a cool-kid makeover, while the first level deliberately echoes Level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. And you just have
