Naughty Dog must have realized that the PS4’s base includes a lot of Xbox 360 converts, so the game’s first 2-to-3 hours act as both an extended tutorial and series recap. It’s an unusually slow start, but things get rolling from both a narrative and gameplay perspective once Drake and his crew head to Italy. After that, the game goes all over the world with its trademarked blend of shooting, exploring, climbing and puzzles.

Another newcomer this year, Snell thrust his way into the Fantasy consciousness after last year he went undefeated at High-A, proved unhittable at Double-A and then put together an even better WHIP at Triple-A. All told, he won a whopping 15 games last season and while he’s been a bit more wild at Triple-A to start this year, it didn’t stop the Rays from giving him a spot start — in which the southpaw was splendid. Snell, considered by some as a top 15 prospect, has clearly established himself as a star in the making.

Be patient, and all that solid contact will eventually translate into a few trots around the bases.

After a slow start to the season (arguably because of usage), he emerged as one of the top rookies in the league, finishing with averages of 9.9 points (on 51.2 per cent shooting), seven boards, 2.4 assists, and one steal in just 21.7 minutes. The key takeaway: Jokic averaged 16.5 points, 11.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 10 games when he played 30-plus minutes. Keep in mind that this kid is only 21, so could very well have a breakout season in 2016-2017.

Competitive multiplayer is spread across three game types: Capture, Meltdown and Incursion. The first one will be instantly familiar. There are three zones; capture and hold them to earn points — the more you hold the faster you score.

When it was originally released in 2008, Valkyria Chronicles failed to gain a large audience. However, it garnered a huge cult following thanks to its very involved story, large character set and unique mash-up gameplay.
