Macbat 64, like a few recent titles, has ventured in to revisit a time in many of our childhoods. Whilst it's not a perfect game, I will say the potential for it is absolutely incredible. They've somehow captured the feel and look of those wonderful 3D platformers that gave us endless hours of fun. I think when making a game like this, it's difficult to walk the fine line between a classic such as Banjo Kazooie and something almost unplayable such as Castlevania 64--and Macbat has managed to stay on the right side of the fence. The controls are brilliantly easy. It's certainly one of those games that anyone could just pick up and have a go at first time. This is especially appealing to someone with little ones--not only does it make it so you both can sit down and have fun, you're also being engaged with your kid-self, and them with good ole' fashioned interactive cartoons. There are a few snags in the fabric, of course. The basics are certainly there with the game play, story and level design. The cut scenes were adorable, and I couldn't get enough of the play on the word 'Kiwi' (Macbat is the sequel to a free game named Kiwi 64). It wasn't a terribly big deal, but when one shot moved to the next it would often take a few seconds of awkward lingering before moving on...which made taking the dialog seriously (Not that it's a serious story at all) a bit on the hard side. I honestly couldn't tell if this was simply a mistake made when it was being paced out, or if it's an unfortunate bug. There's no fatalities, no headshots... Macbat64 is honest good fun in the same way you enjoyed roaming about with a bear and a bird in his backpack once upon a time. But £5 for an hour of gameplay? That part would be left up for you to decide!

The Surge is a refreshing take on the *Souls formula, it joins Nioh in that regard and forges its own path towards something quite unique and extremely interesting -- it's a definite must-own game for *Souls fans and could entice new players with its gritty sci-fi setting.

It's hard not to make comparisons to Left 4 Dead when you play Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide. There's a lot of similar mechanics here, and why not, because for a co-op shooter - Left 4 Dead created a whole new genre of game and there hasn't been anything like it since. I sunk hundreds of co-op and solo hours into the first game and the second. Yet for all its similar mechanics, Vermintide manages to add a bunch of new stuff to the mix and forge its own path thanks to some neat design by developer: Fatshark. Combat in the game is pretty simple, you'll face off against waves of Skaven, using your chosen weapons. Swords, axes, guns, bows, and magic to defeat smaller groups, or the occasional swarm as the rats gather in greater numbers to assault you. The controls are pitch-perfect and there's not a lot to learn in terms of the control system. As you progress through the mission you'll come under attack by various special Skaven, such as the Rat Ogre (think Tank from L4D), the Pack Master (A rat that hooks and strangles you), the slippery assassin rat of Clan Skyre (the Gutter Runner) and so on. These special rats all pose different threats and require a variety of tactics to deal with effectively. Like the AI Director in L4D the game knows when you're slacking off or taking too long exploring, waiting around, so it'll push you harder. Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide is a worthy alternative to Left 4 Dead. It has a lot going for it, the tavern hub and unlocks add to the draw/replay value of the game and the random loot system, whilst as mean as a Gutter Runner, is a key feature that sets it apart from Left 4 Dead. For the full review, see our website. Enjoy.

Yeah, we lost. Get used to it, for the canon ending of XCOM is we lost and now the Advent controls humanity's fate. Starting off on the back foot like this means that XCOM is operating as a guerrilla force deep inside enemy territory. It gives a great sense of urgency to the proceedings and allows Firaxis to drip-feed the story into the game as you progress through certain key moments, including missions and research. XCOM 2 takes what made the XCOM reboot so great and improves on it in every single way, and whilst there are some issues that tag across from the PC version (intermittent choppiness in the Skyranger sequence, and the odd frame-rate issue) it's still a fantastic game and a must-have for anyone who has even a bit of love for turn based strategy games.

Once in a while a game comes along like Virgina, one that challenges you to look at things in a very different way, to fire up part of your brain that delights (or is repulsed) by conundrums, puzzles, mysteries and good old fashioned detective tales. I got a chance to take a look at this one, inspired by the likes of the X-Files, Fargo, Twin Peaks, and other bizarre tales - what I found was a narrative-driven, suspenseful, tightly-wound thriller that will likely be just as polarising as the latter shows.

If I were asked to describe Forza Horizon 3 in a nutshell, I think I'd pretty much say that it's like a much-lamented Top Gear challenge, in Australia, with your friends and random drivers culled from the population of gamers playing the game across the world. I'd also add that it's a lot of fun, and I really mean FUN with a capital F.U.N. There's something gloriously madcap about being able to hit the open world of Australia with over 450 cars to drive, push them to the limit in a mix of brilliantly designed events. There's something beautiful about hitting a dune in the Outback at 200MPH in a Bugatti Veyron and landing a sweet jump that gives you 3 stars. Forget Football as the 'Beautiful' game, that honour goes to Forza Horizon 3. The bottom line here is that Forza Horizon 3 is a game you really need to play if you have an Xbox One. If you're even the slightest bit interested in this kind of racer, get it, it won't leave you wanting. It might leave you wanting more.

there's a lot of Metroid in here and that's a good thing. Joule is a nimble character, can double-jump and she can dash-jump with the best of them. You'll need those skills a-plenty because Recore is part shooter, part puzzler, and definitely part platformer. There's a bit of repetition in the puzzle design, with a lot of things requiring Cellbots (power cell robots) to open further gateways in dungeons, path progression and so on. The game does suffer somewhat from 'Groundhog Day' syndrome. Rinse-repeat tasks that have you farming parts, Cores, and XP to improve Joule and her bots. Fortunately I found it fun enough that the grind side of the game didn't really put me off, I'm still having fun with it even now. It's not going to blow anyone's minds but it's a solid game, has some great moments and it is worth playing. The Corebots should steal your heart and each one has a great AI personality, especially Mack.

You are cast in the role of one of eight heroes/anti-heroes all struggling to take the throne in Armello. You're not the run-of-the mill heroic types in this game either, no red-haired barbarian women, or wily mages. Armello is very much in the tone of Redwall, using anthropomorphic animals to tell the story of a crown up for grabs. See the king, a lion, is quite mad and has been infected by the usurper force of the game - the Rot. You have a limited amount of time before the king dies, each night he gains 1 Rot, and each morning he loses 1 health. If he runs out of health, then the hero with the highest prestige wins the game. The race is on between bear, wolf, rabbit and rat clans to deal with this problem once and for all. Victory comes if you either kill the king, wait out his worsening health or use 4 spirit stones to heal him. Once you've chosen your hero, all with various strengths and weaknesses, you pick a ring and an amulet from the ones you have unlocked. Now the game begins in earnest and you're vying for power with the other 3 heroes, either other players online, or the AI if you're playing a single player game. The AI in Armello is also pretty good, and it's capable of pulling some pretty human-like surprising moves against you/and each other. Armello is a gorgeously made turn based game, the quality of the presentation and the atmosphere, aesthetics, and art style are excellent. Each turn plays out in a bright, colourful manner, or a great looking board with superb animations and brilliantly designed characters. It oozes quality from the get-go and it's hard to pick just one element to talk about, it's all good stuff.

It really is a gem ****, hard, rewarding and oddly fun. There's something voyeuristic about being only able to watch your people as they struggle to survive. See them grow as a community, see the archers at work, the builders repair the walls after the Greed come for you. You have very little direct control, yet you have all the power, spending their wealth to keep them safe. With the plethora of unlockable things, and secrets to discover, it's a refreshing take on kingdom management. One that I'd love to see grow from strength to strength.

What follows is a series of skirmishes between you and your computer controlled opponents. You'll face enemies one on one, chaining together attacks by forging 'links' and chains on the battle table. You have a grid of symbols, spanners for repair, electrical bolts for attack, snowflakes for engine coolant etc. Link the symbols together and click A and voila, your Mech will prepare it's weapons, or shields or if needs be, repair itself. It's turn based combat, which is divided in rounds. You have three attempts to link together your combos, and charge up the weapons and decide to move, stand and fight or go all out for repair and hope the enemy does not take you down. If you think this is just another match three puzzler, you are mistaken. it's surprisingly tactical and some fights can be quite tough.

Following on from the Legion's invasion - the launch event (itself spectacular and arguably the best one since the Wrath of the Lich King Scourge Invasion launch event) - you find yourself working once again with Archmage Khadgar, shifting Dalaran over to a new spot near the Broken Isles. Yep, that's right - good old familar Dalaran from Northrend - with everything more or less where you left it. Sort of. Although it remains, naturally, a massively multiplayer game, there is a lot of focus on *you* as the hero; the class halls really bring that into focus - a special place for each class that's neatly stylised - what the death knights have before in Acherus, the monks in the Peak of Serenity and the druids had in Moonglade, is now something that all classes have access to. The zones, borrow the best parts from the previous expansions, and meld wonderfully with new looks and textures; from the echoes of old Burning Crusade Shadowmoon on the far west, through the classic Kalimdor looks of Val'sharah and Highmountain, to the Wrath of the Lich King-and-Nordic inspired Stormheim. Plenty of old faces show up early on, especially with the class quests, and people like Maiev Shadowsong and Cordana Felsong, the Stormrages - even Rexxar is hanging out in Highmountain. Rather than tediously going from one zone to the next, fairly linearly, prescribed zone that we've seen in the last few expansions with precious little difference, we have something different altogether. I'm going to thoroughly enjoy levelling up my characters, old and new, in this new expansion. I'll proclaim it that it is the best expansion to WoW for years, if not the best of all time. If you've been out of the Warcraft loop for a bit and were looking for an excuse to get back in, this is it. Buy it, and you won't regret it.

Jotun is one of those games, like Dragon's Lair before it, that has an incredible art style and great aesthetic. The design cuts through the whole game with various larger-than-life characters, fantastical locations, and scenes pulled right out of Norse mythology. Such as the World Serpent chewing on Yggdrasil's roots as you explore the roots of the great tree. It is however sparse, and like Thora herself, there's not a lot of world building going on with her, or around her. Unlike say, Hyper Light Drifter that's packed with all sorts of tiny details. It's a minor thing, but I'd have liked to see more detail go into the map design in some of the places. It's a good package, worth the money, and definitely needs to be in the collection of any dedicated action-adventure fan.

One thing that really does stand out in Oceanhorn is the aesthetic design of the whole game, it's gorgeous and it looks really nice on the One. The islands and characters are vibrantly designed, unless they're creepy scary islands full of ghosts. The enemies have that Zelda-like JRPG-like aesthetic that sets them apart from their Western (serious) counterparts. For such a dark story, the game's a pretty, and fun-looking one. I've had a lot of fun with Oceanhorn, the puzzles are good, the combat is pretty fun, a little tricky now and then, but workable. The boss battles have been interesting, with the typical design of such things - usually requiring a rinse-repeat tactic to take the bad guy down. Again though, nothing too taxing. There's even a little fishing mini-game if you want, and stuff to collect for rewards. Mainly though: It's been smooth, crash-free, and engaging.

If you're familiar with a Telltale Game then I don't really need to explain how they work. If not, well, consider them part action, part investigation, and consequence driven gameplay in the style of some of the old point and click games of the past. If you're not a fan of Quick Time Events, then these aren't going to be the games for you. Sign up if you're a fan of twisting stories, great characterisation, interesting applications of QTE mechanics - and meaningful choices that have far-reaching consequences across each episode of their series. Yep, just like the others, Batman is an episodic game - with Episode 1 out now, and 2 soon to follow on September 20th. I've got a good feeling about this series, and it's off to a cracking start, introducing some great moments and some really solid action in this episode. The voice work and acting, along with the music and the writing are stand-out, bringing Gotham to life and nailing many aspects of my favourite Batman show of all time: the Classic Animated Cartoon Series starring Kevin Conroy. Only this time you get Troy Baker as Batman.

In this wonderful age of playing the enemy, Zombie Night Terror has reared it's ugly, decaying head. A cross in if Plague Inc. met and married your old school Lemmings--this wonderful and entertaining game would be the by-product. Zombie Night Terror is smart and fun, but can also be wildly frustrating at times. The first couple levels ease you in like any Pengu/Lemming type game would. You get a handful of zombies willing to pound and smash their ways through blockading doors keeping idiot humans safe and sound on the other side. This escalates quickly however, and by the time you're at a twenty minute 'just play for fun' run, you're panicking and shouting at your computer that you probably clicked that button! Zombie Night Terror is a good play, but not for the faint of heart if you look to always beat the pants off of your games. I can only recommend this title if you've really sharpened your claws as a kid playing Lemmings or the like, otherwise it might not be the title for you.

I've never played an Adult Swim game other than the goofy flash title from ages ago -- Robot Unicorn Attack, I must admit I wasn't expecting much. What I will tell you now is how very wrong I was with it all. Head Lander is a simple, brilliant, GORGEOUS game to which I had the absolute pleasure in playing. It's funny, slick and amazingly entertaining. I honestly can't recommend this one enough. The concept is so out of left field that it works seamlessly. The gameplay is ace, the jokes are a good laugh, and the graphics are stunning. Just don't play it in front of little ones...they might start to ask questions as to why that robot ****...humping things.

Take the basic concept of Lemmings, and flip it on it's head. Got the idea? No? OK remember how Lemmings played. You had these cute little fellas all in danger and you had to plug gaps where they could fall to their death, or make them activate an umbrella as a parachute, dig through blockages, etc. all before time runs out. Now remove the time limit, and flip the concept by designing traps to stop your 'lab rats' from escaping the lab zone, You fail if just one gets away so it can take more than one attempt to succeed, but if you have a twisted enough imagination and the patience to do so, then you may well find much to enjoy and amuse you in this title. It is what it is, a multi room or chamber set piece with an entrance and an exit, just stop the specimens leaving the chamber. Like I said, take Lemmings and flip it on it's head and you have the game in a nutshell. It's not rocket science but it's not easy either. Is it fun? Yeah kind of but the novelty value may wear off for some and it only lures me back to it from time to time, so yeah fun but lacks the give me one more go factor of say Lemmings or solo play Worms or even Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare, so it's an OK kind of game but not amazing. It amuses, entertains but just fails to engage as much as it could/should have. It's a shame, because it could have been just a little bit more.

Worms: WMD is Worms as it should be, fast, fun, diabolically evil (AI matches are great) and loads of fun on your own. It really comes alive when you play with friends, with, or against the A.I. The new weapons, vehicles, buildings, and emplacements change the game fundamentally and for the better. It's huge fun, and launching an ambush from inside a building with a rocket launcher, or exploding sheep never gets old. WMD going back to hand-drawn, hand-animated 2D graphics means that the game looks and plays really well. It's a solid frame-rate throughout and the levels of detail on everything is just gorgeous. The worms have huge amounts of character, reacting to the slightest danger with comical levels of fear. It's what Worms has been, and always should be. I'm reminded of the times I've had with the old PC game Scorch (or Scorched Earth), and the fun I had just blowing up little tanks. Only this time, it's little worms again. Welcome back Worms, you've been missed!

The bottom line is that No Man's Sky isn't the game that many of you hyped it up to be. It's a case of expectation vs. Delivery, and honestly, I'm fine with it since I know it'll grow once Sean and his small team get to grips with the bugs/issues. I've a lot of respect for anyone who isn't rocking out David Braben, Chris Roberts levels of teams for their space game, who has the gumption to build a game like this in the current climate of entitlement. I'm enjoying No Man's Sky. If like me you're interested in the journey and you're not needing your shootyman's twitch-reflex CoD-tested 24/7 then the chances are you'll find something to like in No Man's Sky. Even if you dive into the space battles with a serious upgraded ship. There's something for most people here. It's just not the game that you hyped it up to be. YET...

Dex isn't a bad game per-se, but it falls down on the actual gameplay elements of the game. And whilst you can earn XP, power up, buy augments ala Deus Ex: Human Revolution etc, you may spend a lot of your time in combat. The combat system is supposed to be fluid, and it just doesn't feel that way at all... many times enemies will use unblockable attacks, so it becomes a war of attrition, kicks, punches, dodges, and rolls become your staple diet and it leaves a very bland meal. Firearms bring their own problems, with the use of the sticks to aim feeling imprecise and unintuitive. Movement is tricky, and when you have to rely on pixel perfect jumps for some of the later puzzles - it gets downright annoying. If you're trying to sneak, that has issues, often the camera doesn't work in Dex's favour so you'll end up running into enemies you haven't seen yet. It's an old computer saying: Garbage In/Garbage Out. In this case the game's not garbage, far from it, but it is frustrating to see those combat systems and so on let the whole thing down. You get out of Dex what you put in, and if you can work to get used to those systems, get used to the flaws, you'll find a pretty elegantly crafted story beneath. However, like anything else, you can quickly grow tired of the game fighting you and lose interest. The point at where you really become a badass might come too late for some, and that's a shame, we're not saying we'd recommend the game - but you certainly may find something to like here if you're a fan of Cyberpunk and neat storytelling.

There's a distinct feeling that whilst I'm playing Dungeon Punks, there should be a character with a massive mowhawk, leather jacket, studs, and an anarchy symbol on a shoulder patch. There isn't, and fortunately it's not a game about members of British Punk band: the Clash, delving into a dungeon to get loot, and murder the indigenous population of goblins. Only now, I actually want a game like that! Dungeon Punks is a brawler, kind of classic Ninja-Turtles, Goldenaxe, Chronicles of Mystara style - it's nicely retro in one way, and quite modern in others. It's also heavily tongue-in-cheek, with an anime inspired art style, kind of like Dragon's Crown. You're cast as one **** of diverse heroes, Dungeon Punks, badasses who rock around various areas and do the dirty jobs that no one else will do, for the kind of money that no one else'd work for. It's mocking the genre, and refusing to take itself seriously - which is a breath of fresh air. So expect some maidens in typical anime-style minimalist clothing, and some guys too, as well as the aforementioned werewolf, lizard men, and more. So if you're looking for a fun fighter, with co-op options, something a bit quirky, and not up its own backside - Dungeon Punks is the game for you!

Visually it's gorgeous and it has the correct Star Wars aesthetic, the characters are fun, they're well animated, and the engine isn't showing any real kind of age. Charming is what I'd call it, and it runs extremely well with no frame issues, or texture hiccups. The sound design is perfect, with everything sounding like it does from film and TV, along with some great voice work from the kick-ass cast. A smoothed out control system, better character switching, and a bunch of tweaks in vehicle control rounds out the whole package. You can't really ask for more than that. I put a lot of time into this game, clocked 100% and managed to accrue billions of studs. I've not been bored once, and I really did enjoy the various mini-games, side content, and the whole story unfolding through the Lego game style. I think Traveller's Tales have really knocked this one right out of the park, and it's an extremely engaging game - there's a wealth of Star Wars fun to be had and I think it might just be the best Lego game yet.

Like one of our favourite table top RPG games, it's fast, furious, and fun. It doesn't necessarily tax the braincells but co-op play is fun and with the absence of on screen loot drops, it doesn't mean you are left cursing as someone beats you to a weapons upgrade or ammo cache, and that makes a welcome change. Oh and camping? Not much of an issue here I've found, even with the new DLC character Ana, who is clearly a sniper, camping is not encouraged because if you stay in one spot you will soon find yourself having to play 'catch up' with the rest of your unit. This is also a factor when you die, and is a minus point against it. There are times when you re-spawn some distance away from your comrades, so you have to run like the clappers to catch them up. Sometimes the fight can end before you can get there, especially in the dying seconds of the match making you feel, 'heck I missed mop up!' which can cost you some XP. All in all it's fun. Is it a must buy? CoD players and Destiny players will probably think not. People who like their sessions to be relatively quick without a mission based grind however may find this more appealing. It all depends on what you are looking for and for some time, I admit the coin was up in the air. I say worth getting but the coin almost fell on the side of must buy.

What's there to say about Dub Dash, other than I hope you have a razor sharp set of reflexes on you! Even if you aren't inherently catlike, this game is wonderfully entertaining, and doesn't take a genius to figure it out. At first glance, you think of the old school Playstation 2 titles such as Amplitude and Frequency with a mobile game-esque twist, curling out with an engine that worked so beautifully for games such as Temple Run and Lara Croft's Relic Run. The way it works is pretty simple. The mouse does all of the heavy lifting for you, with its two little buttons, deeming if you're going to move left or right. As in the title, you're guaranteed a tight little track as you progress through each level, but like in any music based game, progression in the song matches the amount of level completed. In all, it's a tidy, fun and very straightforward game. Unforgiving without minor practice, but very possible to master. The game will mock you in the times lost, but believe me, when you do finally make it 100% through the track, you'll be one happy camper.

Van Helsing II is a good looking game, it's certainly no slouch in terms of graphics, but there's something that feels a little lite in terms of the spell effects physical damage against opponents. There's not enough bang for your buck as some of my American friends would say. As previously mentioned when the special effects kick off for some of the bigger spells and abilities, things can slow down a bit, but compared to the first game it's negligible really. It's well animated, the voice work is on par with the first game, slightly over the top in places, but tolerable. The music is good, and the sound work is solid. I've not noticed any audio hitches or glitches at all. Overall it's a good game, not a great, or a fantastic one. There's a lot to see and do if you're fond of the Diablo-style gameplay of this genre of action-adventure. There's the extra layer of tactical resource management and a bunch of extra things to discover via the Lair, and the Lair Defence mini-game isn't as much of a chore in Van Helsing I.

As you explore you are rewarded with powerups and unlock tokens. The powerups can be fun and I was amused at throwing anvils from my car at the other racers as well as some of the others but there is a risk/ reward aspect as the powerups are random and you may pick up a power down or a powerup that affects the pedestrians. The unlock tokens allow you to upgrade your vehicle but these unlocks are unlocked as you play through the campaign and vehicles are upgraded separately so you can't transfer upgrades from one to another. The Graphics are rough and to be honest I have seen better looking original Xbox games from 10 years ago e.g. Black which whilst not a racing game just shows how bad the graphics in this game are. The A.I.s all seem to act the same and just charge in, there's no difference between the other drivers. It would have been nice to have different drivers attempt to win the race in different ways e.g. some aggressive whilst others go for pedestrians to add variety to the races, for example, during one of my races I witnessed an A.I. driver just constantly driving round in circles oblivious to everything around him and even a few small taps from myself wouldn't knock him out of the loop.

Lost Sea has a nice graphical aesthetic going for it, and each Island has their own unique biome. There's a decent spread of animations, and the characters are all designed to appear as 1930's/1940's adventurers. It runs well, and hasn't crashed once. Lost Sea is a fun game, regardless of the high cost for skills and upgrades. I'm not sure of the longevity for players who're not fond of rogue-likes that punish them for dying, or games that have such a random way of determining the distance you can travel to the next island - still - it's worth a punt if you do like these kinds of games, and it does grow on you.

The main character and his opponents are presented in an almost cartoon style that stops short of having cel shading. But the animation is smooth and the presentation pleasing to the eye. Nice lighting effects are on offer and as our hero makes his way through various environments it's all pleasant enough to look at with no harsh colours and nothing to assault the senses. A head scratcher, and yes frustrating, but the sense of achievement when you solve a puzzle is rewarding.

Tequila Works are really passionate about the game, and that's great. One thing I totally love about 'indie' developers is their passion, and it comes through in every moment of Deadlight. Sure, there might be a few dodgy voices and some overacting, but it's a zombie apocalypse and we're allowed some of that - see Resident Evil for example. They couldn't just rest on their laurels when they delivered Deadlight to some fairly OK reviews, nope, they've been turning their hand to improving the game's longevity, challenge, and adding new content. With the help of Deep Silver, and Abstraction Games, Tequila Works have managed to breathe new life into the game. It's the perfect time to grab it if you've not played the original, there's some new content, and whilst it's not as great as it could be in terms of the remaster - it's probably worth a punt if you're a fan of the genre, and you're looking for a quick foray into something a little different than the run of the mill Zombie Crafting Death Simulator.

I like Steamworld: Heist, and if you're a fan of the original there's a load to love here, in fact it's one of my favourite games at the moment. It's fun, and the art style is great, not to mention the animation, which is crisp and full of character from the attacks to the idle animations of the Cowbots. The sound design is great as well. Theme wise, honestly, the whole space western thing with robots just makes me grin. It's a polished package that's worth adding to your collection if you're a fan of turn-based games, and especially if you're looking for something to scratch your XCOM itch on the PS4. It's single player as well, so you're not going to play it co-op with a friend, unless you play pass-the-pad and let them control a character on their turn.

I'm warming to the Technomancer in the time I've spent with it. It's going to feel a bit dated for some of you, and it's going to feel a little bit clunky compared to some of the more modern titles in the genre - that said, it's a good game, a fun game, and there's a decent story here if you want to explore the world the developers have created going beyond the one found in Mars: War Logs. I did have one moment where the frame rate stuttered in an underground section, and so far the game's not crashed on me. I'd say it's worth a punt if you're desperately looking for another RPG to fill the gap. Don't be put off thinking this is a low-budget title though, it's a hefty price, and a big game too - not in the league of Dragon Age: Inquisition, or Witcher 3, but big enough to offer a lengthy trip to Mars.
