Wolfenstein II : The New COlossus - You’ve killed Nazis in games before, but never quite like this. We go behind the scenes on the wonderfully weird sequel – and take a look back at Wolfensteins past. 

Destiny 2 - Bungie’s pride and joy is back! But the question is: it worth buying into a second time? We’ve been hard at work shooting aliens, grabbing loot, running strikes, and levelling up, and we’re ready to give  you our final score.

Indiemaster: Why go on one RPG adventure, when you can go on 100 tiny ones in The Swords Of Ditto...

ASSASSIN’S CREED ORIGINS - Scaling pyramids, poking crocs, firing arrows at camels, and punting gondolas into tradesmen – we’re the worst tourists to visit Egypt since that guy who carved his name into a 3,500-year-old relic. Somebody please give us a travel ban. We simply can’t help ourselves.  

SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY - We double-jump from a preview of Mario’s upcoming Switch adventure to a fun history lesson featuring forgotten power-ups, alternative mounts, and awful occupations. Remember that gig at the cement factory?..

MARIO + RABBIDS: KINGDOM BATTLE - Mario’s got a gun! Apparently when those pesky Rabbids invaded they triggered the Mushroom Kingdom’s second amendment rights. 

JURASSIC WORLD EVOLUTION - The third game this month based on a popcorn-muncher film franchise, but we love popcorn so it’s fine.

CALL OF DUTY: WWII - We sit down with Sledgehammer’s co-founders to chat COD’s groundbreaking campaign, revitalised multiplayer, new-look Zombies mode, and how it could be this generation’s Saving Private Ryan.

WOLFENSTEIN II: THE NEW COLOSSUS - From COD’s actual WWII heroics to imagining what might have happened if Germany won – Machine Games’ alternate history shooter once again casts you as resistance leader BJ Blazkowicz as he attempts to spark a second revolution. It’s as American as apple strudel.  

SPLATOON 2 - The Inklings are back, and they’re armed with umbrella shotguns! GM gets sticky with it as Nintendo’s goo-splashed multiplayer game slides into action. Is it a fun explosion, or as messy as it looks? We spill all in our definitive review.

THE 51 Greatest Games of 2017 and beyond! - Like a rapidly expanding sun but less terrifying, the future just got incredibly bright thanks to an oncoming wave of quality games. And we’ve got everything you need to know on every single one of them! So start saving up, and be extra nice to your family, because the next 365 days are packed with incredible games.  

Arms - The results are in! We’ve totted up the points tally, taking into consideration flair, aggression, and the stretchiness of limbs just as real boxing judges do. Find out whether this arena brawler wins the coveted belt or slinks away punching itself endlessly. 

Endless Space 2 - Guide civilisations to galactic glory in this turn-based space strategy. Will you rule with armadas, use velvet-tongued diplomacy, or float among the stars crying? Explore, expand, exploit, exterminate. Anything apart from expire, really. 

Skull & Bones - Grow out your beard and cut off your leg, because you’re going to love committing the crime of the ancient mariner…

Assassin’s Creed Origins Egypt - Take to the Pyramid stage like a real diamond Giza.

CALL OF DUTY WWII - From Normandy to the Hürtgen Forest, en route through emotional pain and thousand-yard stares, find out if the decision to return to COD’s roots (and cast Transformers actor Josh Duhamel) pays off. Oh, and also just how zombie mode fits into all this.

INJUSTICE 2 - The DC superhero scrapper stakes a claim for the best special moves in the business: Harley sics hyenas on opponents, Scarecrow rips them through rifts in reality, and Aquaman literally conjures the entire ocean. Special, but also grossly irresponsible. 

DESTINY 2 - Use the words ‘Guardian’, ‘Sun’, and ‘Express’ and people think ‘newspaper’, but we’re talking about the time our Guardian’s solar flares burned the face off aliens very quickly. Our hands-on is less misleading. 

DARKSIDERS III - War leads to Death, Death leads to Fury, and Fury leads to an ungodly amount of hurt for the Seven Deadly Sins.

Star Wars Battlefront II - Turn to both the light and the dark in eraspanning multiplayer, or go morally grey with the campaign’s not-all-bad antihero. Our indepth coverage brings balance to the Force.

ARMS - Hands-on with the motion-controlled boxing game in which a slimy green strain of DNA called Helix, a chunky bandaged-up corpse called Master Mummy, and a man with spring arms called (wait for it) Spring Man batter each other like elasticated Anthony Joshuas.  

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - He who tires of Mario Kart tires of life. The definitive version of the Wii U racer brings over all DLC, including the brill Zelda and Excitebike courses, taking the track total to 48, and preventing us ever tiring again. 

Outlast 2 - Okay, let’s see here. Satanism, evil cults, medieval torture… yep, this is a hideously upsetting horror game alright.

Middle-Earth: Shadow of war - Sauron thinks he’s the only one with an army of orcs, trolls, and dragons? He’s in for a surprise… Join us as we go behind the scenes on the incredible new sequel.

Mass Effect: Andromeda - We’ve charted new worlds, battled strange alien foes, roared our six-wheeled Nomad down massive slopes, and found love among the stars. Oh, and we’ve seen some dodgy faces too.

Splatoon 2 - Colour one, colour all in this team-based arena splat-’em-up. After going hands-on, we’ve got more than an Inkling that Nintendo Switch’s best competitive multiplayer game is a Picasso in the making. See what’s up with the new weapons, stages, and campaign mode.

Got the physical edition of the mag? Then you’ll have a code card inside – all is explained here!..

We look at the past, present, and future of gaming TV – and chat with Dara Ó Briain.

Perfect it ain’t, but we still found plenty to love in Mass Effect Andromeda.

Prey - Hands-on with the sci-fi epic that takes place in a world where Kennedy survives assassination and pours billions into the space programme. We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild - Link leads the charge in our highest-scoring issue in recent memory. We bait fish with steak, sell pie to buy clothes, then we play Zelda.

Horizon zero Dawn - Our verdict on Guerilla Games’ open-world robot revolution – a revolution that started with Roombas and Furbies, and climaxes with mechanical giraffes and electric crabs. We brought this on ourselves.

I’m proper excited for a sequel to Shadow Of Mordor– I’m going to make so many new orc friends.

Now that we’ve had plenty of time with Switch, we’re ready to deliver our launch verdict.

What score have we given Breath Of The Wild, you ask? You’ll get no spoilers from me.

Nintendo Switch - Special Feature - A new Mario! A new Zelda! A new Splatoon! Nintendo is back with a revolutionary console, and we’ve gone hands-on to bring you everything you need to know.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard - We sink our teeth into this seriously scary horror game and miraculously come away with a lovely taste in the mouth. And no-one throws even a single punch at a boulder. 

The Surge - A man comes into work and all his colleagues suddenly start trying to batter him. No, we’re not describing what happens in the office when a writer submits work late, but we could be – give or take an army of killer robots and an arsenal of industrial tools to use against them.

Mass effect: Andromeda - Read about the new worlds, companions, and just what is up with that weird race of cat-squid people.

Mass effect: Andromeda - Our epic blowout features all you need to know about Bioware’s space odyssey, a look back at the industry-changing original trilogy, and exclusive insight from the studio’s key players. 

Nier: Automata - Combat android 2B joins the remnants of humanity in a proxy war against machines created by otherworldly invaders. Bullet-hell boss fights and battles against oil rig-sized robots follow. Weird to think that it all started when one Roomba went bad.

The Walking Dead: a new frontier - Clementine’s a force to reckon with in the third season of Telltale’s grim zombie adventure. We’ve played the first two episodes to bring you our spoiler-free verdict.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy - For Chloe and Nadine, the real treasure is, of course, friendship. And gold.

The Last of us part II - Hopefully Ellie’s guitar wasn’t only in the trailer to add gravitas and she gets to KO fools with it like Jeff Jarrett.

Sniper Elite 4 - After a lengthy hands-on session we’ve seen every possible way for a bullet to enter a body. Sleeping is hard now.

THE 100 greatest games of 2017 and beyond ! - 2016 is over – congratulations, you made it! But 2017 is just beginning, and it looks absolutely blinding. So blinding, in fact, that we squinted hard and peered directly at it to compile the definitive list of everything you need to know. With secrets, shots, and key developer insights, here’s the brilliant future of videogames.

THE LAST GUARDIAN - Here’s a little known fact for you: the original title for Team Ico’s latest was ‘How To Train Your Dog-Cat-Bird Monster’. Flick over to our review to find out if we managed to get him to sit and roll over.

Final Fantasy XV - We’ve driven the flying car. We’ve cooked the Prime Garula Ribs. We’ve sat around the campfire. We’ve taken numerous wonky selfies. We’ve even picked our Best Boy (Prompto is Best Boy). And now, after all the chocobo races and gondola rides and furious dust-ups with wild animals, we’re ready to deliver our verdict.

We take a microscope to Hitman’s intricate defining level, Showstopper – and chat with its creators.

This month’s cover feature is so huge it can barely be contained by mere paper.

FFXV is finally here and we’re already arguing about who’s who on the GM team. Ben’s a total Prompto.

The 2016 game of the year awards - it’s not enough to simply say this has been a year of awesome games – they must be ranked, and ordered, and one crowned king of our collective hearts.

Nintendo switch - the wii u’s successor, revealed! Is it a console you can play in your living room? Is it a handheld you can take on the go? It’s both! Head to our exhaustive feature to find everything you need to know about nintendo’s hybrid future.

Red dead redemption 2 - rockstar returns to the wild west. Expect cattle rustlin’, canoein’, campfires, possibly cookin’, definitely shootin’, and an all-round lack of the letter ‘g’. It hadn’t been invented yet, you see.

Watch dogs 2 - run fools over to the sounds of run the jewels, then set something on fire to jungle fire.

20 years of tomb raider - We celebrate a classic series – and ask the devs where it goes from here.

Video Game Movies - From Gears Of War to Tetris – the games that are leaping to the silver screen.

Pokeman sun and moon - HANDS-ON AND BEHIND THE SCENES WITH THE ALL-NEW EVOLUTION

40 Epic Games inside! - The hottest previews and reviews and more.....

Final Fantasy XV - We summon incredible monsters, batter hostile wildlife, and then take a break to make toast in our packed feature this month, filling the stylish boots of crown prince Noctis as he embarks on his quest for the throne.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard - Dirty, depraved, upsetting – exactly what you want from Resi! After tearfully withstanding its gory onslaught inside VR and out, we’ve got a whole lot of cleaning to do. Excuse us.

Recore - A chirpy cast of awesome robot pals make life in the post-apocalypse more bearable, even if other, less awesome robots are trying to kill you. Oh, they’re just jealous of your blood and skin and brain.

After years of saying it’d never try out mobile, Nintendo finally pops its plumber onto iPhone.

Resident Evil 7’s offal-scoffing family make even my table manners seem refined by comparison.

Space-faring, intergalactic family adventures in 4K? - Mass Effect: Andromeda had me at ‘space’…

Call of duty: Infinite warfare - The modern military shooter blasts off into space as COD reinvents itself. Not only have we been hands-on with the action, we’ve grilled the minds behind it for all the classified info. 

Destiny: Rise of Iron - We chart a starry-eyed course to Bungie’s Seattle studio for an in-depth look at Rise Of Iron’s all-new enemies, armour, raids, and exotic weapons.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - We see humanity’s dark side during our review of this cyberpunk RPG – though that might be down to hero Adam Jensen wearing sunglasses all the time.

In Prey you can disguise yourself as a bin. Not exactly a life-goal, but trust me, it sounds amazing.

Our Ben has been playing so much No Man’s Sky he’s seeing stars. Wait, that sounds normal, actually.

The ZELDA special - Learn how the legend evolved in our making-of, hit up our A-Z feature, offering a complete rundown of everything in Breath Of The Wild that begins with a letter, and top it off with our definitive list of every Zelda game.

Dead Rising 4 - Weapons include, but are not limited to, candy cane crossbows, laser umbrellas, electrified ATVs, food-cartturned- battering-rams, Christmas gift boxing gloves, and your reliable old fists.

Starbound - Our lead review revolves satellite-like around a stunning sci-fi crafting adventure that procedurally generates a universe full of worlds for you to screw up like a clumsy space oaf. 

FFXIV has become a behemoth since it’s reboot three years ago this month. We celebrate it in style

Imagine Onimusha but with Dark Souls’ combat and you’ll see why I’m drooling over Nioh

Move over Terraria, there’s a new 2D craft ’em up in town – Starbound is here and it’s ruddy brilliant.
