It’s best played on PC, especially if you have access to top-of-the-line hardware and the ray-tracing it enables.īut even on mid-range systems, Control is one hell of a trip.

You won’t get access to the excellent Foundation or AWE expansion packs through Game Pass, but the base Control is still an remarkably outstanding experience. Control (Screenshot: Heath Gardner (Email)) Control Not Recommended For: Everyone should give Slay the Spire a go. Recommended For: Anyone who has enjoyed any card game, ever. If you’re after a neat distraction that you can enjoy in bite-sized chunks, but a game with enough depth and ease of use that you could happily lose hours to, you won’t find anything better. Slay the Spire was brilliant even before it was fully released, and it’s a functionally perfect game today. Most of the card mechanics and interactions are relatively simple, even as multiple relics start adding more damage, armour, or interesting quirks that fundamentally change how you approach a game. It’s functionally a dungeon builder where you add cards to your deck the further you progress up the titular Spire. Slay the Spire, which incorporates ideas from games like FTL, is one of those. There are some games that come along with an idea, design and execution so good that it transforms the genre around it. Read our tips for playing the game, and our further thoughts on Ichiban as Kiryu’s successor here. Not Recommended For: Anyone looking for a short experience, those expecting Grand Theft Auto-style design, people with slow hard drives (there’s a lot of cut scenes). Recommended For: People who love Japan and Japanese culture, fans of the Yakuza franchise, and anyone who enjoys large RPGs with lots of interlocking distractions and systems. But it’s also got a story that’s enormously heartwarming, backed up with the roguish, almost child-like innocence that Ichiban adopts to life. Like A Dragon modernises some of those systems and refines some of its more egregious flaws. Replaying the older Yakuza games can be enormously difficult. If you’ve always been interested in the Yakuza series, but held off for one reason or another, Like a Dragon is a great start. There’s the Dragon Quest inspired turn-based combat, and, most importantly of all, Ichiban. There’s the chicken you can promote to be CEO of a company, squawking at crabby investors.
