Famous for their amazing recreations of Japanese cities and cheerfully absurd tone, the Like a Dragon games have mostly followed the exploits of reluctant gangster Kazuma Kiryu but this time we're with in Hawaii, with relative newcomer Ichiban Kasuga and a colourfully strange cast of allies, including one that can murder people with a mop and another with spiked balls for hands.
No other genre blends the stylish and ridiculous like the fighting game, and this latest in Namco's long-running series throws a promising cast of leopard-men, cyborgs, topless muscle-bound martial artists, boxers and assassins into the ring. An unexpectedly cute new single-player Arcade Quest mode will teach players the basics before they go up against each other online.
Drive out into the Pacific north-west in your continually breaking-down car in the midst of a supernatural anomaly, find supplies and avoid all the sentient-seeming lightning, and repair the trusty vehicle at the garage afterwards that is, if you survive the excursion. A survival game where the relationship between car and player is the star of the show.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the second part of Square Enix's remake of its 1997 classic. Rejoin Cloud Strife and his party as they attempt to stop ashen-haired supervillain Sephiroth from killing their world. Tetsuya Nomura's stunning character designs and Nobuo Uematsu's original score have been remixed and modernised, but haven't lost their power.
The first serious competitor to The Sims in more than 20 years gives you an almost worrying level of control and intervention.
