The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is gorgeous and still a miss, or why the good Lovecraft game keeps us waiting

We hoped for the finally-good Lovecraftian investigation game. We get yet another co-op extraction, gorgeous but rough. ACE Team has the talent and the universe, but not yet the game.

Cat Chess doesn't reinvent chess, it makes it adorable, and we've never laughed so hard at a chessboard

Every piece is a cat with its own face, animations and bad attitude. Cat Chess doesn't touch the rules, it touches the heart. We've never smiled so much losing a game.

Urban Strife simulates every bullet to remind you that XCOM was cheating a little

A half-crazed militia, a zombie horde and bullets that follow a real trajectory. Urban Strife brings turn-based tactics what it was missing: ballistic realism.

Warena tastes like Clash Royale without the poison: the cards do add the salt, and not a single microtransaction

Warena tastes like Clash Royale without the poison: the cards do add the salt, and not a single microtransaction

A real-time card battler by the original Angry Birds artist. The salt of the cards is there, mana and counter-timing do the rest, and zero microtransactions. The Clash Royale we were waiting for?

Angels Fall First finally leaves ten years of early access, and it's the space Battlefront nobody else bothered to make

Angels Fall First finally leaves ten years of early access, and it's the space Battlefront nobody else bothered to make

Command from the bridge of a flagship, then die rifle in hand in its corridors. After ten years of early access, Angels Fall First hits 1.0. Ambitious, unique, still rough.

Imperial Ambitions has the scent of the old wargames we thought were gone, and a depth to drown in

Imperial Ambitions has the scent of the old wargames we thought were gone, and a depth to drown in

40 resources, five social classes, marching columns and empires that rot from within. Imperial Ambitions revives old-school 4X, and it doesn't hold your hand.

Black Flag Resynced is the most beautiful pirate game ever made, and it raises an awkward question: did it really need remaking?

Black Flag Resynced is the most beautiful pirate game ever made, and it raises an awkward question: did it really need remaking?

Edward Kenway returns in ray tracing, with Blackbeard, a photo mode and zero loading screens. Gorgeous, respectful, and yet shadowed by a doubt: was it necessary?

Backyard Baseball brings back Pablo Sanchez and schoolyard baseball, without a single microtransaction

A legend of kids' gaming resurrected after twenty years, with its iconic kids and zero cash shop. Owned nostalgia across the Atlantic, a lovely discovery for us. Rare and endearing.

EA Sports College Football 27 is a monument of atmosphere sabotaged by its own store

Dynasty mode is a management masterpiece, the atmosphere of American Saturdays is unique. Then Ultimate Team and its store arrive, and the whole veneer cracks.
