Part Two is surprisingly anticlimactic, but the new gameplay additions keep the gory splendour fresh for another 6 hours.
DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods – Part One
It’s a testament to how exhilarating the rapid-fire brutality of DOOM Eternal was that even when it’s repeatedly kicking your face in, it’s still an absolute blast.
Firewatch
Firewatch will appeal to anyone looking for a second dose of Gone Home’s magic or a less experimental, more meaningful version of Dear Esther.
Minecraft
I both like and respect Minecraft, but I am continually astounded that it has reached such heights of popularity.
Valiant Hearts: The Great War
Valiant Hearts hopes to tap into the potential of story-focused WWI games, with mixed success.
