Fairy Tail 2 is a wonderful continuation of this RPG anime adaptation, with fast paced flashy combat and a gorgeous world to explore.

Fairy Tail 2 is a wonderful RPG with fast paced combat, a gorgeous world to explore and a whole lot of familiar anime faces. It’s not a game that’s particularly accessible for people who haven’t watched the anime though, and certainly not those who skipped the first game. Despite this it’s hard to deny that this is an engaging RPG experience crafted by genre experts, and for fans of the series especially it’ll be an absolute delight.

Ballionaire blends Roguelike mechanics with Pachinko to create a chaotic and clever game full of interesting builds and point scoring pegs.

The Thing: Remastered is a weird nostalgia trip that is fairly dated, but remains compelling enough to see through to credits.

Breath of Death VII The Beginning is a superb remaster of a well-regarded Xbox Live classic that harks back to a simpler time.

Soul Reaver 1 and 2 Remastered is a great collection, elevated more by the simple joy of playing through the campaigns again.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind is a warm dose of nostalgia, a highly amusing, varied and reverentially detailed step back in time.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is authentic and exciting, filled with excellent set pieces and some enjoyable gameplay.

If you missed The Thaumaturge before now, it’s well worth investigating the PS5 version.

The Rise of the Golden Idol is a seriously clever detective game, with exceptional design that helps you solve its mysteries yourself.

Fitness Boxing 3: Your Personal Trainer offers some solid exercises and a comfortable difficulty curve to help people of all fitness levels.

While Platform 8 isn't quite as ground-breaking and special as Exit 8, it's undeniably a much scarier game and a lot of fun to play.

Warhammer 40K: Darktide on PS5 is superb action game filled with brutal violence and all the tongue-in-cheek dry British humour you expect from the universe.

ANTONBLAST is a sensational Wario style platformer with a flow unlike anything else, but you'll need to put the time in to master it.

Glitch Hero is a nice way to teach younger gamers some programming basics, but the poor combat really lets it down.

Chicken Police: Into the Hive has some particularly charming characters and great visuals, but is slightly let down by the overall story.

Slopecrashers is a great action racing game offering plenty of fun in both solo and multiplayer.

VED isn't a bad game, it's just not a very good one, either, and never quite manages to find its stride.

HeistGeist isn't all that original but it's an enjoyable adventure with plenty of action and intrigue to keep you engaged in the campaign.

Spirit Mancer has lots of great ideas and some seriously awesome boss fights, but dull combat against regular enemies really drags it down.

Critter Cafe is a cosy game that just misses the mark, thanks to its lifeless world and repetitive gameplay which make it hard to recommend.

There are loads of great tactics games out there, and unfortunately Goblin Slayer -Another Adventurer- Nightmare Feast just can't hang with them.

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is an extremely mixed bag so far. While I’m enjoying the atmosphere, the few stealth-based missions (I say “based” but you can just wander in and shoot everyone) have been the highlights. Skif is a likeable enough horrible person, and I like how much there is to do in terms of quests and side content, but it’s held back massively by stifling bugs, unsatisfying gunplay, iffy voice work and sound design, and a general air of being five to ten years behind the modern market. Or maybe I’m just missing the point. Either way, with only around a dozen hours played I’m still in the early game, so perhaps by the time I come to add a score to all this, a lot will have changed. Either way, right now, Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl isn’t setting my world alight. [Review in Progress]

Mindcop is a seriously clever detective game that refuses to hold your hand, but makes you feel like a genius when you figure out whodunnit.

Threshold is a clever game that does so much with what's available, featuring some great ideas, an eerie environment, and engaging story.

A soothing game to snuggle down with, 6-Sided Stories is a perfect pairing to a warm hot chocolate, comfy slippers and a log fire.

Farmagia has fun and flashy combat, but its lack of depth and threadbare farming ultimately make it hard to recommend.

Stray is a fantastic game that really captures the energy of our feline friends, but the Switch version of the game is a significant downgrade.
