Another bumper month for game releases, it must be


nearly Christmas! To kick off we’ve got a mega-review


of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint (p64).


Does it live up to Ubisoft and Clancy’s reputation for


great shooters? Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare is a


reimagining of the 2008 COD classic that gave the


series’ its lofty reputation. Find out if it lives up to its


mighty name on page 68! The next shooter takes a


slightly different tack, Plants Vs Zombies: Battle For


Neighborville (p70) has its tongue firmly in its cheek.


This year WWE2K20 puts more emphasis on the


women of the WWE, and we find out if 2K’s wrassling


sim is worthy of your hard-earned cash this year on


page 72. The Baldur’s Gate games, set in the world


of D&D, have had a remaster, and we check out


just some of those on page 74, before getting stuck


into Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair. Is it,


in fact, impossible? Find out what we make of this


challenging platformer on page 76. Then we’ve got


reviews of Children Of Morta (p78), Ghostbusters:


The Video Game Remastered (p82) and Trine 4


(p87). We’re super-excited for the latest sci-fi RPG


from the original Fallout creators – find out what we


make of The Outer Worlds on page 84! Finally, we


take a look at the latest expansion for one of our fave


shooter series, Destiny 2: Shadowkeep (p88).
