Do BJ Blazkowicz’s feisty twin daughters bring twice


the fun to Wolfenstein: Youngblood (p72)? Find out


with our definitive Nazi-killin’ verdict over the page.


And if intense co-op action is your bag, Supermarket


Shriek (p76) is one to check out too. As a man and


a goat trapped in a high-speed shopping trolley,


you have to scream your way around the aisles.


Our score... might surprise you. We’ve also got the


heavenly Sol Seraph (p78), a 2D platformer/tower


defence hybrid with more than a hint of a certain


beloved retro classic about it... And speaking of retro,


Stranger Things 3: The Game (p81) unashamedly


evokes a bygone, pixelated era as it retells the latest


season of the nostalgic TV show in videogame form –


but does it live up to its namesake? Next up, They


Are Billions (p82) brings its unique mix of real-time


strategy and wave-based zombie survival over to


consoles after a lengthy spell in Early Access on


PC, Etherborn (p84) enchants and puzzles us in


equal measure with its beautifully told but utterly


incomprehensible story and Lethal League Blaze


(p87) gets our blood racing with its deadly take on


competitive sports. Finally we take a trip into the


great unknown, exploring the cosmos in Lost Orbit:


Te r mina l Ve lo c it y (p88) and bringing the power of


politics to the galaxy in Citizens Of Space (p90).
