No achievements and little interaction in the varied H scenes at least don’t take away from the cute art style and repetitive pinball action.

Marko: Beyond Brave is good at its core, but its execution can be quite shaky. It has great presentation and methodical fights with bosses and enemies, but the iffy platforming and issues I encountered just left a bad taste afterwards.

NBA 2K25’s array of entertaining modes and stunningly true-to-life visuals make shooting hoops feel better than ever.

Despite the name, Mad Smartphone Tycoon is painfully dull and lacks any real sense of wonder that might keep a player invested.

Black Myth: Wukong may look like another soulslike on the surface, but in truth, it is a fantastic action RPG with great boss battles, memorable characters, and my favourite mechanic of the year so far, Transformations. You can be a rock with legs!

Baimason's Thing Finder Puzzle gives you exactly what you pay for, and £1.69 for a two-hour experience, infinitely replayable stages, and a daily puzzle isn't a shabby trade.
