PS4/5, XBOX ONE/X/S
Warhammer 40,000 games are a notoriously mixed bag, but this turn-based tactics title, now making its console debut, is among the best. XCOM with Space Marines, this deftly marries the grimdark aesthetic of 40k with satisfying squad-based skirmishes against minions of the plague god Nurgle. With individually named, fully customisable units, it’s easy to get attached to your Marines, but try not to — Chaos Gate is without mercy.
