Prepare for a living, shape-shifting gun and creeping, mysterious horror. It’s also delightfully destructive, with a wreckable environment filled with supernatural terrors – made all the better with your mind powers. Surreal, beautiful and bloody – there’s nothing quite like Control out there. You need answers and, in the world of Control, there are an awful lot of weird experiments and terrible secrets to uncover. You play the director of a shady agency, seeking to wrest back control after some alarming events. It’s one weird game too, with parts designed to be unsettling. You’ll find yourself unravelling an eerie supernatural struggle and also wielding telekinetic powers. Frenetic gunplay.Ī dystopian sci-fi mystery, the widely acclaimed Control is an intriguing action-adventure game. Pros: Set in a supernatural, Lynchian universe. While its deeper character development adds something new to the series, ultimately, Gears 5 is at its peak during action – where it still remains one of the best (and most polished) third-person shooters out there. You play Kait Diaz, who is fighting against both the threat of new alien horde the “Swarm”, while also wrestling with her personal demons. Not to mention the series’ legendary chainsaw-gun features again, along with ol’ faithful “Boomshot” and many, many more. It also has a handy robot companion, Jack, who can loot the battlefield for you, among other things. A game of murderous fights and polished shooting antics, this instalment includes an expanded narrative, along with equally strong single and multiplayer modes.

One of the latest in the savage Gears of War series, in which humanity is pitted against a grisly alien invasion, Gears 5 sees you exploring new reaches of its cruel and hyper-violent world.
