Why Should You Play It? Madeline’s relentless attempt to reach the summit of Celeste mountain has stuck with me this year and I’m struggling to let it go. What Is It? A hyper challenging and extremely beautiful 2D platformer from the creators of TowerFall. That’s all helped by some top tier animation and performance that brings Paker and gang alive in a way few games have managed before. When you do actually tackle the story there’s a great tale of evil villains, friendship and betrayal filled with warmth, humour and some some surprisingly dark turns.

Few games deliver traversal that’s so much of a rush - it’s possible to play Spider-Man PS4 (opens in new tab) for hours without actually doing anything, just perfecting those sidewalk skimming swings and needle threading arcs between buildings. As you’d hope, movement is a joy from start to finish, equipping you with a suite of web swinging abilities that see you hurtling through city streets on a mixture of web lines, skill and hope. Why should you play it? Insomniac’s first venture into a licensed property sees the studio apply its slick movement and world building to a huge chunk of Spider-Man’s New York. What is it? One of the best superhero games of all time, nailing Spidey’s freedom of movement and characters in a take so well executed it’s now part of official Marvel canon. If you have the means, put Astro Bot on your head ASAP. The colorful environments you hop and hover through are just long enough to get their point across (more Mario comparisons are inevitable) and the music, especially the underground theme, is endless bops. The way it combines comfy-cozy platforming mechanics for your remote control robot buddy with your physical presence in the world - turning your controller into a multitool for launching ziplines or shooting shurkin, and your cranium into both a target for enemy attacks and a headbutting blunt instrument - is sublime. Is it a bit sad to say that of something that feels more like the 3D platformers you've been playing since Super Mario 64 than some new paradigm of virtual interactivity? I dunno, maybe? I don't care because I can't imagine feeling anything but electric glee when discussing Astro Bot Rescue Mission.

Why should you play it? Astro Bot Rescue Mission is the best game ever made for PlayStation VR and quite possibly for virtual reality as a medium.

What is it? A virtual reality platformer that makes putting on the headset feel like submerging your noggin in a world of secrets, silliness, and happy dancing mascots.

Gunfire is snappy, the range of vehicles a giddy delight (a haulage truck with twin machine guns, anyone?), and it’s hard to deny the glee of sending your pet grizzly bear, Cheeseburger, into the fray, making mincemeat patties of all who dare to oppose him.

The plot’s total hokum about a charismatic cult leader called Joseph Seed - as you dawdle across Montana’s open plains and winding hills, liberating outposts and battling a series of his (daft) family members - with the dippy-trippy battle against his sister Faith a tonal highlight, were it not a retread of an Metal Gear Solid 3 boss battle, handled with more panache by Hideo Kojima 14 years ago.

Why should you play it? Let’s be straight: Far Cry 5 (opens in new tab) brings almost nothing new to the series - a mix of freeform outpost sieges, story missions and inventive weaponry (make sure to track down the body-imploding alien ray gun) - and has probably the worst ending(s) of any game in history but there’s something irresistible about its moment-to-moment combat and equipment upgrade loop. What is it? A new entry in Ubisoft’s popular open-world shooter series set in a fictional version of the contemporary American midwest, where the Eden’s Gate doomsday cult run by religious demagogue The Father has taken control of the county.
