So, what of those games? Well, I know our Ian was very taken with Atomfall, and he celebrated being able to bop a chap over the head with a cricket bat as the poor blighter was having a wee against a wall.

“If you can get over a difficult start and fancy a lean take on the survival genre, Atomfall delivers an intriguing tale worth discovering,” reads Eurogamer’s Atomfall review.

Another favourite, at least with me, is Resident Evil Village. “Capcom’s follow-up to its first-person Resi reinvention is a fantastic horror romp – for its first half, at least.” reads our Resident Evil Village review.

Star Wars Outlaws was a bit hit and miss for many of us here at Eurogamer. I had a decent enough time with it, others not so much. “It lacks the branching, open stealth of an Arkham game, the systemic options of a Dishonored or the incisive, relentlessly satisfying speed of picking enemies off in Assassin’s Creed,” reads Eurogamer’s Star Wars Outlaws review.
