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.

Set in a world shaped by old folklore, this narrative-driven adventure leans into exploration and discovery. Its time-shifting structure encourages you to piece together events from different moments, creating a sense of curiosity that builds as you go. While it has a few rough edges, its atmosphere and unique approach make it stand out in a genre that rarely explores this kind of setting.

Scar-Lead Salvation is a third-person roguelike shooter where you play as Willow, an amnesiac soldier trapped in a looping military facility filled with repetitive rooms, basic enemies, and a sarcastic AI guiding you through it all. While it has ideas like weapon upgrades, bullet hell dodging, and roguelike progression, the execution feels shallow, overly repetitive, and undercooked, making the experience wear thin quickly. The salvation of me reaching the end of this game definitely led to some scars.

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.

A sloppy port sullies what is otherwise a solid survival horror experience.

The kind of cosmic horror that makes you ponder your place in the universe.

The Shore: Enhanced Edition delivers a visually striking and atmospheric take on Lovecraftian horror, supported by strong music design and an intriguing premise. Its early focus on exploration and mystery builds a solid foundation, but a shift toward action and simplified mechanics weakens the overall experience. While it’s easy to appreciate the ambition and artistry behind it, the uneven storytelling and gameplay make it more of a curiosity than a must-play.

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.

Despite its many foibles, I still found it hard to put Starfield down. It’s a Bethesda game like no other, in that it’s actually best experienced by sticking to the main path rather than picking a direction and seeing what trouble you get into. The fragmentation of its narrative and structure over dozens of small maps robs it of the same spirit of manifest destiny that Fallout and, to a lesser extent, The Elder Scrolls. You’re not drawn to towers in the distance, to dragons on the horizon; it’s more a case of I wonder what Earth is like now, or if that ship in the distance will open fire on me, and is there anything worth stealing in its hull? It’s this fractious nature and the sheer drudgery of space travel that make it a tough sell to even fans of other Bethesda RPGs. But if you’re a sucker for secret sects and a cosmological mystery, chances are Starfield will be a trip into the bleak emptiness of space you’ll want to take.

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.

The Day I Became a Bird is a short, cozy narrative adventure that tells a simple but heartfelt story about childhood feelings and imagination. You move through small, relaxed interactions and light puzzles that focus more on atmosphere than challenge. While it doesn’t offer much depth or replay value, its charm, visuals, and tone leave a gentle, lasting impression.

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.

Devil Jam is a fun chaotic few hours enjoyed with cold a beer in hand after a long day's work, just don't expect it to be anything more than that.

Under Par: Golf Architect captures the charm of Sid Meier’s SimGolf with satisfying course design, but inconsistent simulation systems and technical issues hold it back. It’s a promising experience that gets a lot right, just not consistently enough yet.

Dragonkin makes a mild attempt to walk among giants. With moments of great potential and elements of great design but poor implementation and lacklustre performances, this game only manages to be 'okay'

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.

Ascendance is a nostalgia-filled title that is not even worthy of borrowing the titular name of the franchise, let alone be the title that the fans waited decades for: it’s an unredeemable abomination.

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.

The long awaited reunion of Max and Chloe brings some of the series best scenes, but they forgot to build a compelling game around them.

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.

The first DLC for Powerwash Simulator 2 is an ambitious, nice homage to Adventure Time more flash than substance.

CrossWorlds crashes onto Switch 2 with a version capable of challenging Mario's karting crown.

Ariana sets out to restore lost magic by diving into enchanted books and repairing the worlds inside them. Along the way, you build up a versatile set of spells and take on a mix of platforming challenges and strategic battles. It’s a straightforward but enjoyable adventure that balances style, action, and steady progression.

A visually arresting, mechanically sharp extraction shooter that offers fun and rewards for those with the patience - and the time.

Trial and error stealth muddies the otherwise crystal clear waters of this endearing puzzle platformer.

If you enjoy exploring rich, unsettling worlds while uncovering a story one step at a time, I highly recommend checking out Incantation.

New Super Lucky’s Tale on PlayStation 5 is a charming, polished and technically a remaster of the original game that benefits greatly from the console’s capabilities. It may not offer surprises for those familiar with earlier versions but it delivers an uber‑fun gaming experience that is sorely needed. Recommended for lovers of platforming fun.

If it’s on special, it’s not bad for a quick pick up and play a round or two… but the random nature of the power cards and boosts and the ludicrously steep starting point for some levels, either via score or play space… means it can get frustrating quickly. I’m pretty near completing it and am quite sure I could with perseverance and more focused strategy… I’ve just lost all interest in doing so. If you like Balatro and think it would be interesting in a Scrabble setting, then I’d say grab a copy.

Super Meat Boy 3D is a game where the old Jurassic Park adage rings true: the devs were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should. It’s enjoyable enough at times, but it lacks the level of reinvention necessary for Meat Boy to make a meaningful leap to 3D. Instead, playing it constantly feels slightly off, thanks to the 3D, which, rather than building on the experience, comes across as more of a gimmick that diminishes the otherwise tough but fair principles that made its predecessor a classic.

Super Mario Bros Wonder was a return to greatness on the OG Switch and with its performance tweaks and incorporation of new multiplayer excitement thanks to Meetup in Bellabel Park, this is a must have game if you missed it the first time around.

A dying world of sand sets the stage for a challenging adventure that blends exploration with deliberate, skill-based combat. Progress comes from mastering layered systems and steadily building your character through discovery and experimentation. It’s a rough-edged but rewarding experience that grows more engaging the deeper you go.

Total Chaos is a survival horror game that drops you into a decaying island filled with danger and mystery. You scavenge, craft, and fight to stay alive while uncovering what went wrong in this isolated place. It blends tense exploration with layered survival mechanics to create a dark and unsettling journey.

If you’re looking for a calm, comforting gaming experience that trades stress for serenity, Collector's Cove hits the spot perfectly.

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.

A relatively accessible rail simulator that pays homage to Thomas and his friends. I would strongly recommend IF you are already familiar with Dovetail's previous rail simulators - but only cautiously recommend if you are a Thomas & Friends fan looking for a more traditional gameplay mechanics.

If you've the time and patience for a game that's almost two and a half decades old in remastered form, then you can do a lot worse than Legacy of Kain: Defiance. Defiance is a throwback to the simpler days of action adventure games that some may struggle to tolerate in this day and age, but if you grew up playing it and want to schedule a revisit all these years later, then go right ahead. If you demand more from your action adventures, you certainly won't find anything here that rivals the modern bigwigs of the genre, but ultimately you will still find this remaster to be worth several hours of your time.

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!

EMOTIONLESS: The Last Ticket is a slow-paced psychological horror experience set in a surreal, abandoned amusement park where you search for answers about your missing father. It focuses heavily on exploration, atmosphere, and environmental storytelling, though its narrative can feel unclear and its gameplay lacks tension. While strong visuals and sound design help carry the experience, technical issues and repetitive design choices keep it from fully delivering on its potential.

Hunt the Night is a dark fantasy action-RPG where you play as Vesper, a skilled Stalker fighting to reclaim a world overrun by monsters. You explore interconnected environments, solve light puzzles, and battle both standard enemies and challenging bosses using a mix of melee and ranged attacks. The game combines fast-paced combat with atmospheric pixel art and a haunting soundtrack to create a tense, immersive experience.

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.

Unsealed: The Mare is a tense, task-driven horror experience that thrives on constant pressure and smart resource management. Its simple structure is elevated by strong sound design, effective lighting, and mechanics that keep each run feeling unpredictable. While it can feel repetitive and a bit short, it delivers a consistently engaging and genuinely unsettling experience.

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.

Despite some issues with controls (and they are pretty massive issues), it’s worth noting that I still felt engaged enough to persist and, in fact, completed the game. It’s also worth noting that it seems the developer is still actively working on improvements (and it’s not a big production house… just one person). With a few tweaks it could be quite polished and would be a lovely “chill” gaming experience. Even with the issues, I still think it is highly worth picking up a copy (it’s quite reasonably priced).

There are some genuinely standout moments, but I can't help but look back at the likes of Left 4 Dead and just wish Toxic Commando had that same level of charm. It's just missing something—a little personality—a hook, the kind that made Left 4 Dead endlessly replayable.

Sancticide feels like it has potential that has yet to be fully realised. If you enjoyed Morrowind or Skyrim style combat, and have the same nostalgia for Diablo 2 that I do, you'll probably still have a good time (once the bugs are ironed out).

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.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is an incredibly atmospheric and legitimately unsettling experience brought low by clunky, often infuriating combat and trial-and-error stealth sections. As such, it’s difficult to recommend to anyone but existing fans of the series. However, for those who can push through its more irksome elements, there’s a fantastically macabre tale that will haunt you long after the credits roll.

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.

A promising idea ride with poor implementation and rife with AI.

Under the Island is a bright, character driven adventure that balances lighthearted humor with a steady sense of discovery. As you explore its layered world, each new tool opens paths that once seemed out of reach, making progression feel natural and rewarding. It is the kind of compact journey that stays focused, delivers consistent surprises, and leaves you satisfied.

Machine Mind is a game full of innovative, but half-baked ideas. Other, more successful titles tried to combine RTS and Shooter elements into a much more enjoyable experience, such as Rift Breaker, but Targem Games can’t deliver its latest game with the same quality. Perhaps with a bit more time and a few quality-of-life updates, Machine Mind will become a better, more enjoyable experience.

Skunkape Games have remastered and re-listed Poker Night, given it a fresh lick of paint, reintroduced it's most important feature and all that at a decent price. They've truly gone all-in.

Portrait of a Torn is a short, narrative driven mystery that focuses on atmosphere, exploration, and emotional storytelling. You move through a quiet, unsettling home, solving light puzzles while uncovering a tragic story piece by piece. While the ending and a few technical issues hold it back, the experience is still engaging if you enjoy slow, reflective walking sims.

Soulslinger: Envoy of Death is a fast paced roguelite shooter set in a dark western version of the afterlife where you battle through arena style encounters and grow stronger with each run. Its moody atmosphere helps carry an experience built around tight combat loops and steady progression in a central hub. While it delivers solid action and a clear sense of style, limited variety and repetition in more ways than one keep it from feeling truly exceptional.

Crisol: Theater of Idols is a unique blend of action and puzzles that has enough potential to keep the player engaged until the very end, but lacks enough narrative and gameplay depth to be remembered for long.

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.

It’s not a bad collection by any stretch, and Rayman fans are bound to have some fun with the package, but I can’t get past that sinking feeling that Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition is a rush job that, had it been given a little more time, could have been something truly special.

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.

PC is definitely not my number one choice to experience the new adventures of Geralt. Though the game captures the essence of CD Project Red’s The Witcher series, at the end of the day, it’s just a casual card adventure, not a full-blown RPG, and that will make it difficult to keep up with the experience longer than a short while.

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.

God of War Sons of Sparta takes Kratos back to his early Spartan years in a side scrolling adventure that blends exploration with heavy combat. While it adds background to his relationship with Deimos and experiments with a retro style format, it rarely feels as powerful or focused as the mainline entries. It is a decent, occasionally engaging detour that struggles to live up to the legacy attached to its name.

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.

The Run is one of Raschid’s strongest FMV projects to date which delivers a tense, well‑acted survival thriller with sharp pacing, high production values and genuine emotional stakes. Fans of interactive storytelling and cinematic horror will find plenty to enjoy.

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.

Ultimately, The Prisoning: Fletcher’s Quest is a solid, compact experience that showcases strong fundamentals. Movement feels good, boss encounters are engaging, and the writing has a distinct voice. At the same time, its most promising mechanics are not explored deeply enough, and its metroidvania elements remain surface level. The procedural component adds replay value in theory, but does not meaningfully expand the scope. For anyone seeking a brief, well controlled action platformer with personality, it delivers. For those expecting a robust, sprawling metroidvania, it may feel underdeveloped. It is a good game that hints at something greater, even if it never fully reaches that potential.

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.

OneTry is a third-person horror shooter from indie developer Domynyo that drops you into a zombie-infested world where you only get one chance to survive. The game is brutally unforgiving, with fast, relentless enemies, clunky controls, and a dark, poorly lit environment that makes every step a struggle. Despite its rough mechanics and glitches, there is a strange, arcade-like appeal in trying to push a little further each run and seeing how far you can get.

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.
