Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality features an original Doctor Who story. Enter the Chaosverse, where reality itself is threatened by a series of time-breaking glitches, and partner with two formidable Doctors as you seek to uncover a deeper mystery.

As you play through the game you'll encounter classic Doctor Who monsters, including Daleks, Weeping Angels and Cybermen, and confront a terrifying new threat: the CyberReaper. For those who played, and enjoyed the previous game, The Edge of Time, there's plenty to enjoy here.

Not being the world's biggest Doctor Who fan, I found this game a little annoying... and for one main reason: Jodie Whittaker's voice is immensely grating. I'm a Northerner and the constant (not very funny) little bits she delivered were, for the most part, just awful. And it didn't help that she kept on repeating the same old fluff until you manage to progress a little further.

Some of the puzzles and interactions with the environment are well realised and it's an above average game for the genre. But if you don't like Doctor Who then you may find it a little too annoying.
