Voidling Bound offers silly repetitive fun, especially if you have ever wished you could control your turn-based creature battlers directly, 3rd person shooter style. I had a great time, and whilst I'm sure mileage might vary, I recommend giving it a go.

A fantastic collection for fans of Capcom's delightful Disney platformers, now with added Goof Troop.

Dumb fun that strikes a great balance between racing and krumping. It just needs a few more humies playing it.

A satisfying sequel oozing with grim, dark charm that's easy to recommend to fans of 40k and strat fans alike.

First Light does not break the mold in any meaningful ways, while not being a bad game either. In fact, IOI's first forray with 007 is pretty great. And with their history of updates and meaningful sequels - I look forward where 007 goes next.

Realm of Ink sets itself apart with a gorgeous art style that makes every run through its isometric hack-and-slash roguelite world a feast for the eyes.

For the hardcore fans of the franchise that just wanted a 1:1 remake of the original without anything added or removed, Gothic Remake is a dream come true. But even the avid Gothic fans are not safe from the performance horrors caused by the Unreal Engine 5, and that makes the Gothic Remake not everybody’s cup of tea.

If you liked 2021's 'Unpacking' you will probably enjoy the first couple of hours of One Move Away. A 3D First-Person puzzle game where you pack boxes and goods into whatever container the developers limited you with, featuring a hint of story and some physics.

In the end, Nickelodeon Extreme Tennis: Next! is not a deep or competitive tennis simulation, nor does it aspire to be. Instead, it offers a cheerful, chaotic, and relatively inexpensive cartoon party game that thrives when enjoyed with friends on the couch.

A desperate search through a quarantined city quickly spirals into a journey filled with unsettling discoveries and difficult truths. Blending retro survival horror design with a futuristic world, the adventure balances exploration, resource management, and suspense across a tightly paced campaign. Though brief, it delivers plenty of atmosphere, mystery, and reasons to see the story through more than once.

A satisfying yet streamlined JRPG that is more character study than grand adventure.

War's journey remains one of the strongest action-adventure experiences of its generation, combining satisfying combat, rewarding exploration, and memorable dungeon design. Its post-apocalyptic world is packed with secrets, powerful enemies, and a story that keeps pushing you toward answers. Even years later, the adventure still feels engaging thanks to its focused design and strong sense of progression.

Bluey’s Quest for the Gold Pen is ultimately a delightful sandbox that treats its license with genuine respect. It introduces younger gamers to classic adventure mechanics through a creative, heartfelt lens. While the lack of true couch co‑op is a real head‑scratcher and the pacing may feel slow for older players, its warm narrative and imaginative levels make it a standout family title for the school holidays, but be aware that it lacks substantial voice acting and, on PS5, we encountered several crashes.

Yacht Club Games strikes again with a brilliant homage to Game Boy Color’s favourite titles. Mina the Hollower is a charming title with gorgeous presentation, one apt to be well received by those with an affinity for old school dungeon explorers. Just be warned: looks can be deceiving in its very high difficulty level.

Luna Abyss drops you into a mysterious megastructure carved into a blood red moon, where you play as a prisoner forced into dangerous exploration. As you descend deeper, the story slowly reveals a hidden truth behind the mission, the world’s past, and the strange forces that seem to guide everything from the shadows. It blends shooting, movement, and exploration into a steady journey that focuses more on atmosphere and discovery than nonstop combat.

Out of the Blue Games returns with a solid sequel to Call of the Sea that cosmic horror and puzzle aficionados are bound to enjoy.

Myst on PS5 is by far the best way to play the seminal puzzler on modern platforms. Whether you decide to tackle it sitting on the sofa or fully immersed using PSVR2, Cyan Worlds has done a marvelous job of updating and rebuilding the game for modern hardware, while still being unmistakably Myst.

Directive 8020 is easily the best entry in The Dark Pictures anthology thus far. Featuring a solid script, strong performances, and new stealth sections that give your actions even more weight while ratcheting up the tension, it’s easy to recommend Directive 8020 to both returning fans of the series and newcomers alike. Just remember to start with Survivor mode if you want the full (and in my mind superior) ghost train experience.

It Reaches delivers a tense descent into a collapsing nightmare where every hallway feels unpredictable and unsafe. Its immersive camera presentation and oppressive atmosphere make even simple exploration feel stressful in the best way. While the story stumbles at the finish line, the journey itself still offers plenty of unsettling moments that horror fans will appreciate.

Necrophosis: Full Consciousness is a haunting descent through a collapsing universe where forgotten gods and endless decay shape every step forward. Its surreal landscapes and grotesque imagery create an unsettling atmosphere that constantly pulls you deeper into its strange world. Even with its simple puzzle structure, the game leaves a lasting impression through pure mood, artistic vision, and existential horror.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book turns exploration into the main focus, putting you inside a living storybook where every page reacts to your curiosity. Instead of pushing you toward a finish line, it encourages you to experiment with creatures and uncover how the world responds to your actions. The result is a relaxed, discovery driven experience that feels more like studying a strange, playful ecosystem than completing traditional levels.

Overall Dramacar will not set the world on fire with its gameplay but if you are looking for a fun and cosy platformer to play over a long weekend or you are looking for something to get a younger child into gaming with a fun cute artstyle then Dramacar is for you.

Overall I think Nitro Gen Omega is going to click deeply with a small group of players. Others who dip their toes in will probably enjoy the novelty before bouncing off to something else. If you choose to spend your time here, please consider that this is definitely not Into the Breach meets anime. It does not feel like combat chess (yet), and the similarity of each combat encounter over time slowly erodes the beautiful graphic art style. Keep an eye out, maybe DESTINYbit will introduce a more varied roster of combat scenes or rebalance enemy encounters in a way that deepens strategy.

Hotel Architect is a charming, addictive, and occasionally chaotic hotel‑building sim that offers a great mix of creativity and management.

For the most part this is a cosy laid back game. There’s no real threat in it (you can get injured but even falling from a decent height is unlikely to kill you… you have to try really hard to do any real damage). I love the idea of being able to use renewable resources, sun, wind, rain etc. The recycling mechanic could have been better implemented and fast travel would be a welcome addition… but overall it’s a decent bit of fun and you can even adopt a dog (though once you do… it’s with you for the rest of the game… even if you tell it to stay somewhere, it will inevitably end up by your side again). Good for those who like gentle gaming.

The use of iterations of yourself to help solve problems is a nice mechanic… watching yourself go and perform a task in one location so you can complete the task in another is an interesting dynamic… just don’t think too much on the philosophy underlying “temporary” selves and what their creation and removal might mean on a moral/ethical level. There are some quirks with the game that might cause more irritation than others… but overall it’s a fun experience and once you get past some of the early dialogue it’s not too bad to listen to the story too.

Invincible Vs is a brutal, crunchy, yet surprisingly fast-paced, 3v3 fighter that, mechanically at least, is possibly the closest thing we’ll see to a new Killer Instinct. It’s a superbly animated, well-balanced brawler that hits that sweet spot of being easy to pick up but difficult to master. Though the single player is a little light, there are still plenty of extras for dedicated players to unlock, and a solid online multiplayer mode replete with well-implemented rollback netcode. With 18 characters to choose from at launch and more on the way (add Battle Pope, you cowards!), fans of the source material, or just a good punch-up online, will find plenty to love about Invincible Vs.

Forza Horizon 6 may not reinvent the wheel, but I’m not sure it needed to. Playground Games has successfully honed the formula to such a fine point that you know exactly what you’re signing up for, and more importantly, you’re pretty much guaranteed a good time. Japan is easily one of the best settings for the series thus far, and even though the characters and writing that wrap around Forza’s latest festival adventure is as groanworthy as it ever was, the racing, atmosphere, killer soundtrack, overwhelming amounts of things to do, and general sense of fun make for one of the best simcade racing games I’ve played since the last one.
