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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight isn’t just another iterative entry in the franchise; it's a new vision defined by varied gameplay, gorgeous upgraded graphics and clever storytelling. Whether you’re gliding across Gotham's skyline, piecing together detective puzzles or laughing at a perfectly timed gag, the game delivers a rich, polished experience that honors the Dark Knight in a way only LEGO can.

The overall plot, cast and character dynamics carry the story forward, and the bug-free experience, full stealth gameplay and other new mechanics set a new standard for future Supermassive games.

If you only own a Nintendo Switch 2, Indiana Jones And The Great Circle is an absolutely must-have. Is it worth buying a second time if you already own the Xbox Series X or PS5 version? Not really, but if you want it to be an excuse to play the entire adventure again, then nobody should blame you for doing so. The Switch 2 version running at 30 frames per second will deflate some, but when you consider the addition of gyroscope functionality, the trade-off is worth it. Overall, Indiana Jones And The Great Circle on Switch 2 is a great Switch 2 game, even if it might be a harder sell for those who've already played it.

MOUSE: P.I. for Hire is absolutely gorgeous eye and ear candy, but falls short in execution.

Prophecies of Ash is a good first step in the right direction for Anno 117: Pax Romana. The volcanic eruption cycle adds a much-needed challenge to the game and prevents the playthrough from becoming monotonous, while it can be switched off by those who would rather not worry about natural disasters burning half of their cities to the ground.

MOTORSLICE is a fast-paced action adventure set inside a massive, mysterious structure where movement and momentum are central to everything you do. You explore a shifting mechanical world filled with hostile machines, using a mix of traversal skills and chainsaw-based combat to push forward. As you climb deeper into its strange environments, it blends platforming, combat, and discovery into a constantly evolving journey that leaves a strong overall impression.

Adorable Adventures is a relaxed exploration game that focuses on guiding you through nature using scent-based tracking and simple discovery mechanics. It blends light puzzles, environmental interaction, and optional activities into a steady flow that encourages curiosity over challenge. Overall, it delivers a calm, low-pressure experience built around exploration, collection, and small moments of progression.

The Shadow Update builds on what already works and expands it in ways that feel thoughtful and consistent. The new characters introduce fresh playstyles, the ball types open up a huge range of combinations, and the added passives and building give you more control over how everything comes together. It’s the kind of update that makes you wonder how the game felt before it existed. With one more free update on the way later this year, it’s clear the game isn’t slowing down, and if this pace continues, it’s only going to get harder to put down.

Tamadotchi Life: Living the Dream might not be the bold reinvention some fans hoped for, but it doesn’t need to be to recapture the series’ charm. Even with its missing legacy features and a few creative tools that don’t quite hit the mark, it remains a wonderfully daft, personality‑driven sim that thrives on the unexpected. Perhaps what’s most important, though, is that even after spending a serious amount of time with Living the Dream, it remained funny. It’s the kind of game you dip into for ten minutes and suddenly find yourself grinning at a Mii having a meltdown or, well, trying to stop a Mii from making an ill-timed proposal to someone that’s just not that into them. If you’re willing to embrace its quirks and forgive its limitations, Living the Dream is a welcome, delightfully weird return to one of Nintendo’s most eccentric worlds, and an even better introduction to those yet to familiarise themselves with the Tamadotchi universe.

WRATH: Aeon of Ruin VR - Brutal Edition drops you into a dying world where constant movement and quick decisions are the only way to survive. You push through large, secret-filled levels using a mix of ranged weapons, close combat, and fast traversal tools that keep every fight in motion. It’s a gritty, old-school inspired VR shooter that thrives on speed, pressure, and learning to stay one step ahead of everything coming at you.

ChainStaff is a fast-paced action platformer built around a single, highly flexible weapon that blends combat and movement into one system. You explore alien-infested environments while making choices that affect your abilities, progression, and how the story unfolds. It’s a game focused on experimentation, replayability, and learning how to master its unique traversal and combat flow.

Aphelion is a beautifully created game by Dontnod and while it's gameplay has its issues, the narrative is pure sci-fi perfection.

Tides of Tomorrow set out to overhaul the choice-based games genre with it's Story-Link feature and, while promising, it is a relatively shallow mechanic. Still, the original wrinkle it adds on top of a solid, albeit flawed single-player choice-based game is a welcome addition to the genre.

Saros, while not without some notable flaws, is still an engaging, intricately crafted, and intriguing roguelike action game that sets a new bar for Housemarque as an upgrade to Returnal in many ways.

Capcom digs into their past to pave the way for their future, taking the tight gameplay experiences of their PS2 era games with a fresh new hook.

A fantastic 3D puzzle game with relaxing music and beautiful touches of life in many scenes.

Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel is not only brutally challenging but also very satisfying that is made for people who enjoy this genre and it plays remarkably well on the Steam Deck with responsive controls and only occasional performance hiccups. It’s not without frustrations as the difficulty spikes, reliance on RNG and late‑game grind can make the experience uneven once the early novelty wears off. But if you enjoy survivor‑style games and want something with a darker, more atmospheric twist, this is absolutely worth your time, so expect a mix of triumphant runs and the occasional boss that ends your hopes before you can blink.

Ereban: Shadow Legacy is a tightly designed stealth experience that focuses on clever movement, shadow mechanics, and thoughtful level design. Its systems are simple to understand but surprisingly flexible, encouraging you to experiment with different routes, abilities, and playstyles across its compact chapters. While it has a few minor rough edges, the game’s creativity and clear passion from the developers make it an impressive and memorable debut.

RACCOIN: Coin Pusher Roguelike is messy but addictive, capturing that "just one more go" feeling as you chase the winning run.

Though the devs aimed for quantity and size rather than quality and coherence, exploring the hidden corners of Pywel to engage in different side-quests and activities is a thirst that will keep any fan of fantasy action games entertained for tens if not hundreds of hours.

Restore Your Island may be a relatively short experience, but it succeeds in delivering a relaxing and rewarding gameplay loop supported by light humour and a strong sense of progression. While its mechanics can become repetitive over time, the steady visual transformation of the island provides enough motivation to keep going. The game’s laid-back pacing, combined with its Walkman-controlled soundtrack, makes it an ideal escape from the noise of everyday life. It’s a game that doesn’t demand much from the player, instead offering a calm and satisfying experience that can be enjoyed at your own pace. With additional content updates and expanded systems, Restore Your Island has the potential to grow into something truly special. As it stands, it’s a charming and enjoyable experience—perfect for players looking to unwind, recharge, and enjoy a small but meaningful sense of accomplishment.

All in all, Restored Land is a bit of a hit and a miss. But it’s a free update, the biggest Techland has ever done, and arrived a little over half a year after launch. For anybody who plays Dying Light solo and hasn’t played The Beast before, Restored Land would be a great way to experience the story and campaign for the first time. But anybody that’s already gone through Kyle’s vendetta with the Baron before will have to do so all over again.

MLB The Show 26 isn’t a dramatic overhaul but it is a step in the right direction. Its improvements to data presentation, career progression, defensive realism and strategic depth make it a richer and more satisfying entry. Newcomers and players who skipped last year’s release will find plenty to enjoy, while long-time fans will appreciate the refinements that keep the franchise comfortably ahead of its rivals. Solid!

Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster brings a classic 90s shooter back with smoother performance, updated visuals, and modern controls while staying true to its original design. You play as Kyle Katarn, tackling mission-based levels filled with exploration, combat, and light puzzle solving against the Empire. While some older mechanics can feel dated, the core gameplay and Star Wars atmosphere still make it an enjoyable experience.

Screamer is a great game and while not without flaws, has several engaging elements that make it stand out from other racing games of this era.

The cosiest, craziest Pokémon game with a concept so delightful you wonder why we haven't seen it sooner.

A delightful mashup that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Overall Shadow Tactics Blades of the Shogun and Shadow Tactics: Aiko’s Choice are extremely well done ports of the 2016 and 2021 originals with plenty of content and smooth gameplay this is one game that has ported very well to the Nintendo Switch 2. Both games are available together in a bundle or can be bought separately if you want to try one before you jump into both. Do expect a hardcore experience but if you feel up to the challenge then you can not go wrong with either of these two games.

RAGER blends rhythm gameplay with fast paced melee combat to create a VR experience that feels energetic and physically engaging. While the campaign is surprisingly short, the combat mechanics, weapon variety, and freestyle options make it easy to keep coming back for more sessions. It may still have room to grow, but its style, music, and satisfying gameplay make it a strong addition to the VR rhythm genre.

Project Songbird is a psychological horror experience that blends exploration with tense dreamlike encounters in the Appalachian wilderness. As a struggling musician retreats to a remote cabin to rediscover their creativity, strange visions and hostile manifestations begin to blur the line between reality and memory. While a few experimental storytelling choices and pacing issues hold it back at times, the strong atmosphere, voice acting, and unique setting make it a memorable entry in narrative driven horror.

Taking major inspiration from other indie games in both gameplay and graphical design, Crabmeat is a fun, decently paced horror fishing game with incredible attention-to-detail and lackluster visuals.

The best Stories game to date that easily stands shoulder to shoulder with its mainline brethren.

So no, WWE 2K26 isn't the Best in the World, but it still does a mighty fine job, sorta like when Randy Orton faced Edge in "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" at Backlash 2020, it wasn't the greatest wrestling match, but it was very good-and so to is WWE 2K26.

Paranormasight: The Mermaid’s Curse is a compelling supernatural mystery that, although not as creepy as its predecessor, still features a gripping narrative with plenty of twists and satisfying puzzles.

Under the Island is a bright, character driven adventure that balances lighthearted humor with a steady sense of discovery.

Diablo II Resurrected Infernal Edition stands as a thoughtful and respectful fine-tuning of a classic with a new way to experience it thanks to the Warlock.

Tales of Berseria Remastered is a great game despite some disappointing aspects. The new improvements make gameplay noticeably better but the drawbacks make the experience a little worse than it could have been.

Tokyo Xtreme Racer is a focused arcade-style racing game that puts you on Tokyo’s highways to challenge rivals and climb the street racing scene. You customize your cars, tune performance, and unlock abilities while battling drivers using the unique Spirit Point system. The game combines high-speed duels, strategic upgrades, and a gritty nighttime atmosphere for a tense and addictive racing experience.

The simplest way to put this is: if you enjoyed Portal and would like more logic puzzles — and don’t mind swapping your portal gun for a paint gun — then this is likely to be right up your alley. Some elements are a bit more threatening than Portal (i.e., foes that will pursue you), but they can be stopped reasonably easily (at least for a moment). The narration also provides an amusing overarching story, which is a nice little addition. Certainly worth a play if you enjoy puzzle games and like the vibe of Portal.

Love Eternal blends demanding gravity-based platforming with an unsettling, abstract horror narrative that lingers long after it ends. Its short runtime keeps the challenge intense while delivering a story that feels strange, emotional, and deliberately open to interpretation. It is the kind of experience that may frustrate you in the moment but rewards you with imagery and ideas that are hard to shake.

A perfect balance of survival, action, and horror featuring fantastic set pieces, superb combat and plenty of chills that long-time RE fans are bound to love.

Death Howl blends tactical grid combat with deep deck customization inside a myth soaked world shaped by loss. Each encounter feels like a carefully constructed puzzle where preparation and positioning matter as much as raw power. It is demanding and deliberate, but for those willing to engage with its systems, it delivers a striking and emotionally grounded strategy experience.

Overall, it’s a lot of fun for Star Trek fans or anyone looking for a sci-fi game with more intellectual depth than a straightforward space shooter.

Royalty & Legacy went from an underwhelming reveal to a Royal surprise. It's a more than fine pack for any Medieval Fantasy, swordfighting lover like myself. It's world is gorgeous and full of lore, and clear love and passion went in to it. It is not a must, but a welcome addition, and what it provides it does well.

I’m really glad that Avowed and Obsidian Entertainment’s back catalogue for Xbox has now made it to PS5. This is a fantastic open-zone RPG with entertaining character role-playing options, an engaging cast of antagonists and companions, and satisfying combat systems that have been rounded out from a year’s worth of patches, bug fixes and content updates. If you’re like me and were waiting for the right time to explore the Living Lands, the time is now.

With a terrific new fever racket system and wonderful couch coop mechanic, Mario Tennis Fever is a highlight of the longstanding series.

Aerial_Knight’s DropShot is a fast, stylish shooter built around constant motion and quick decision making. I found it easy to get hooked thanks to its clean mechanics, confident presentation, and short, replayable levels. While it left me wanting a bit more depth and variety, the core experience was consistently fun and memorable.

Ride 6 is a polished and technically solid entry in the franchise that offers plenty for both dedicated fans and players willing to step outside their comfort zone.

MotoHeroz HD is a fun, often infuriating game. It has enough gameplay elements to make it a fun, worthwhile experience when you only have a few minutes to while away on a game that you can just jump right into - MotoHeroz HD does this nicely.

Romeo is a Deadman is destined to be a cult classic. It’s a stylish and quirky action-horror adventure that is as funny as it is downright disturbing at times. The combat is solid and strategic, while the level design is smart yet straightforward, and it was clearly a labour of love for everyone involved. But what I really love about Romeo is Dead is that it’s not afraid to throw ideas at the wall and keep what sticks, and there’s a certain attitude that runs through the entire thing that is utterly captivating. It doesn’t care if you like it. It doesn’t care if you don’t get it. It does its own thing, it does it well, and that makes it Punk as Fuck.

A haunting, surreal and disturbing journey that sticks with you long after the credits roll.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 is a superb remake that outshines the original in almost every way.

Umami Grove is a cozy, physics driven VR adventure that blends light exploration, hands on cooking, and charming character driven quests into a compact, welcoming experience. Its tactile interactions, playful world design, and strong audio presentation make it consistently enjoyable, even if the cooking mechanics and progression remain fairly simple. While occasional physics quirks and polish issues hold it back from being something deeper, it still delivers a warm, memorable VR journey that is well worth experiencing.

If you can get over the lack of analogue acceleration (although a GC controller will fix this), GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition offers a robust and rewarding simcade racing package, with one of the most entertaining story modes I’ve seen in a racing game in donkeys, and it stars Dr Who! Whether you choose to take to the track in handheld or docked mode, there are plenty of options to get GRID looking and playing exactly how you want. Toss in a truckload of DLC and core racing that looks and feels fantastic to play, and you’ve got yourself one of the best racing games on the Switch 2 to date.

Nioh 3 is a game that took me a while to get into. I wasn’t feeling the first hour or two, and I initially couldn’t get to grips with the Burst Break mechanic. At some point, though, it clicked, and I got into the groove; the world opened up, and the game was transformed. From that point, I couldn’t put it down. There’s a lot to like here, and enough to keep players engaged for dozens, if not hundreds, of hours, with a multitude of different build possibilities and ways to attack any given objective. Lacklustre graphics presentation aside, I couldn’t find many faults with Nioh 3. Definitely one to check out.

All’s Justice delivers fast, explosive 3v3 battles where every character feels distinct and full of personality. The game mixes intense combat with exploration, missions, and collectibles, giving fans a lot to dive into. Despite a few rough spots, it stands as a polished, content-rich experience that celebrates everything My Hero Academia has to offer.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined is without a doubt the best version of this classic JRPG. The diorama graphics look phenomenal, the new features save you time without losing out on the game’s identity, and the Switch 2 makes everything run smoothly. Some completionists might not like how much content was cut, but these changes turn a hard-to-finish epic into an adventure new players can actually complete. If you gave up on the PS1 or 3DS versions, Reimagined clears almost every obstacle between you and one of the series’ best stories.

Neon Inferno is a short but valuable experience. The game has enough action and variety in its settings and enemies to keep the players entertained while not overstaying its welcome. It’s a good game for a short weekend with friends and family, especially if you are not a hardcore gamer and don’t mind its shallow economy and progression system.

Cairn stands out as a gripping grounded climbing experience. It is demanding without feeling unfair striking without softening its edges and honest in its portrayal of a woman trying to outrun the life she left behind. Whether on PC or Steam Deck this is a climb that stays with you long after you return to base, particularly the metaphysical ending.

Lovish is a whirlwind of quirky challenges, absurd humor, and clever surprises in every corner. Each room feels like a mini adventure, packed with secrets, chaotic encounters, and playful twists that keep the game unpredictable. It’s short, smart, and brimming with personality, proving that a small game can leave a big impression.

With the myriad of sidequests and things to do, this game will keep you playing for more than 10 hours. A thoroughly enjoyable, entertaining experience.

Fatal Fury is a classic franchise that still belongs with the greats of today, and it looks to definitively prove that this year to anyone that hasn’t figured that out yet. It’s already proven itself to me. Oh – and it has an amazing soundtrack as well.

Don't Stop, Girlypop! swaps gritty realism for pink chrome and chaos, and brings the bold, feminine energy the FPS genre was missing.

I Hate This Place is a strong survival horror experience with smart mechanics, great monster design, and a compelling soundscape. Its flaws—pacing issues, stiff movement, and occasionally forced dialogue—hold it back from greatness, but they don’t derail the experience. For fans of survival horror who enjoy tension, stealth, and atmosphere, this is absolutely worth your time.

While Code Vein II's narrative leaves a lot to be desired, and the lack of multiplayer is disappointing, the gameplay is incredibly engaging and satisfying. With a few gameplay and performance adjustments, the game stands to be among the best Soulslikes this year.

City Tales embraces a slower, cosier approach to city building. The district system rewards strategic placement rather than constant micromanagement, and the companions add depth to the story and gameplay mechanics. Combined with a soundtrack that quietly adapts to your progress, the game creates a cohesive medieval atmosphere that is easy to settle into. For players looking for a city builder with a rewarding gameplay loop that doesn’t require constant micromanagement, City Tales offers a satisfying alternative.

Final Fantasy VII: Remake Intergrade is easily one of the finest ports on the Switch 2, second probably only to Cyberpunk in terms of scale. It combines solid performance with a level of presentation that’s not far behind the PS5 at times – An impressive feat, considering you can play it during your commute. Just be aware it’s a voracious beast that will consume half your internal storage before you even press start. If you’re yet to experience Final Fantasy VII Remake (or thinking about giving it a second chance), Integrade for the Switch 2 is a wonderful way to reacquaint yourself with this bombastic meta-analysis of one of the finest JRPGs ever made.

MIO: Memories In Orbit is a thoughtful, artistically driven Metroidvania that pairs elegant movement and purposeful exploration with a striking audiovisual identity. The game excels in its cohesive world design, meaningful customization systems, and a steady sense of discovery that rewards curiosity. The result is a confident, memorable experience that stands comfortably among the genre’s strongest modern entries.
