MOST WANTED

The Surge PC, PS4, Xbox One Nioh and The Ringed City have increased our appetite for tough Souls – or Soulsinspired – outings, and The Surge will be our first opportunity to experience one in a sci-fi setting. The latest trailer may be all CG, but it does tease a boss fight with a hulking, plasma-cannon-wielding tank on tracks. We can’t wait to ruin its day.

Little Nightmares PC, PS4, Xbox One A chance to run through a more polished version of the build we played for E302’ s cover feature reveals a more confident showing for the toe-curling Janitor and Six’s wonderfully tactile platforming.

Nier: Automata PC, PS4 Review code may not have arrived in time for this issue, but we’re by no means worried about the state of Platinum’s debut RPG. The Bayonetta dev’s peerless combat, and director Yoko Taro’s unique madness, remain an intoxicating blend. Platinum’s always been a bit left of centre, but it’s never let us ride a moose before.
