Red Dead
Redemption 2
from £25 / PS4, Xbox One
Believable characters, a world to lose yourself
in, top-class voice acting and a story that
intrigues all the way through. Warts and all,
with improvements from other games ignored,
this is Rockstar at its most arrogant but also its
most powerful. Red Dead Redemption 2 trusts
you to explore, to grow, and to let its world seep
into your consciousness. This is a special game
and one that was entirely worth the wait.
O OR PLAY THIS
Zelda: Breath of the Wild
If you’re after a different kind of
open-world experience that’s
just as expansive and has a lot
of heart, this is the one for you.
£48 / Switch
Stuff says +++++
Ultra-addictive gameplay in one of
the greatest open worlds ever created
Make sure you talk
to strangers more
than once – you
never know what
they’ll reveal.
Regularly brushing
and feeding Arthur’s
horse will increase
their bond. It’s what
all good cowboys
should do anyway.
TIPS &
TRICKS
Resident Evil 2
from £16 / PS4, Xbox One, PC
Top to bottom, nothing in this
game feels like a mere upgrade
on an old formula. As polished
and defining as recent favourites
like God of War, RE2 will inform
not only the future of the survival
horror genre, but the interactive
entertainment medium as a whole.
Super Mario Maker 2
+++++£37 / Switch
One of Nintendo’s smartest ideas in years feels
perfect for the Switch.
Luigi’s Mansion 3
+++++£43 / Switch
Luigi finally gets a blockbuster hit that would
make his brother proud.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
+++++ £44 / Switch
Smash is well and truly back, and it’s bigger and
better than ever before.
Forza Horizon 4
+++++ from £22 / Xbox One, PC
This is a bar-raising sandbox-racing game
experience that’s worth buckling up for.
Stuff says +++++
Highly polished and much more than
a remake – the series’ best entry yet.
Devil May Cry 5
++++,from £16 / PS4, Xbox One, PC
A strange blend of world-class combat and
old-fashioned design.
God of War
£16 / PS4
A lot has changed for PlayStation’s
god-slaying champion, Kratos.
He’s acquired a beard and a new
magic axe... but while the action
is as breathtaking as ever, it’s
the surprisingly mature storyline
that’s the draw here, with Kratos
learning the ropes of parenting.
Gears 5
+++++£19 / Xbox One, PC
Huge, thrilling and luxurious at every turn – this
is absolutely essential.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
+++++ from £30 / PS4, Xbox One, PC
A brutally punishing action adventure that will
get your heart a-pumping.
Stuff says +++++
The epic return of Kratos is yet
another phenomenal PS4 offering
