The prismic visuals and symphonic score are a sensual treat, and the game’s ingenious ecosystem slowly blooms into a map-spanning meta-puzzle that demands patience, observation, curiosity, and creativity. It's the first must-play game of 2024.In the roundup: Nintend…

53:15

Lies of P is a deeply impressive Soulslike with tight combat, beautiful environments, and a nightmarish gothic-horror world. It makes some welcome player-friendly tweaks to FromSoft's punishing formula, but is held back when it adheres to the genre's dogma. In the roundup: Sephonie, Suica Game, En Garde.

186: Alan Wake II 56:52

11M ago56:52

56:52

A blockbuster sequel long in the offing, Alan Wake II offers an original, cutting-edge audio-visual presentation. But its ambition as a showpiece and a spectacle is mirrored by a surprising lack of creativity in other areas, that makes it a uniformly dull – and sometimes frustratingly illegible – gameplay experience.In the roundup: Goodbye Volcano …

185: Jusant 42:07

11M ago42:07

42:07

Jusant is a chill, mechanically innovative climbing game, in which a nameless protagonist climbs a huge rock tower in a dry, deserted word.

183: Nour: Play With Your Food, Forza Motorsport, Chants of Senaar 34:37

11M ago34:37

34:37

Nour: Play With Your Food is a bizarre physics-driven rhythm game that's all about... well, playing with food. The player rains food items into a scene, hitting buttons in time to responsive music, and… seeing if anything happens? As it all devolves into a chaotic spectacle, sometimes it seems like there's a game structure trying to emerge. Ultimat…

181: Cocoon 43:46

12M ago43:46
