Shantae: Half-Genie Hero (Xbox One)
Like a genie’s lamp, Shantae rubs me up the right way.
Best Games of 2016 – Richard’s Top 5
An old soul. A lingering doubt. A man who is more a principled advocate for ‘truth’ than a passionate orator for hasty action. To gaze into his eyes is to understand but to also be lost. A bringer of balance and equality. Richard is an ideal, a construct of the centre. He also plays games.
Battlezone (PS VR)
This classic arcade tank game is the perfect starting point for VR.
Robinson: The Journey (PS VR)
However good the destination, a journey can often make you sick.
Farming Simulator 17 (Xbox One)
What use is the daily grind without something to work for?
HoPiKo (Xbox One)
The intense platforming of HoPiKo might be a leap too far.

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.
The Turing Test (Xbox One)
The question of what makes us human is among the oldest of puzzles.
The Witness (Xbox One)
Observe, think and learn. That’s not too hard, is it? Although The Witness is presented in its marketing as the story of a man marooned, the experience is as pure a distillation of its gameplay ideas as I can remember. Unencumbered by the shackles of narrative motivations, this first person puzzle game gives you an island to explore in whichever way you like, provided you can solve its myriad conundrums.
