Immortals Fenyx Rising doesn't do anything you haven't seen before, and unless you're married to this particular style of game, it's hard to recommend.

With plenty of characters to try out, this game packs plenty of punch.

Even though the platforming doesn’t feel quite right and the puzzles are a little too simple, Pikuniku’s vibrant, whimsical aesthetic gives the game a charming sense of playfulness that almost completely mitigates these issues. When you’re running around with these colourful characters, watering flowers as a jaunty tune plays in the background, you don’t care that the jumping feels a little floaty or that the solution to the next puzzle is so obviously signposted. Pikuniku is the perfect remedy for a stressful day – check it out if you’re looking for something simple, colourful and genuinely funny.

What Oceanhorn offers is basically a discount Zelda. The game borrows most of its gameplay from Zelda, but one should be aware that they get what they pay for. It’s not well-defined or polished like a Zelda game. Instead, you can think of it as a cheaper alternative if the Nintendo Switch’s premium price tag has left you a little out-of-pocket for Breath of the Wild. Do I recommend? If you already like the genre, you can probably get a few good hours out of the game. If you’re new to the genre, Oceanhorn won’t do you any favours.

Your mileage will vary with The Divine Force depending on your expectations. Those looking for another AAA JRPG experience may be left confounded. Character models look too lifeless, the lip syncing is laughable and the world almost feels like it needed a few more months of work to feel alive. Existing fans of Star Ocean are going to be very pleasantly surprised at the robust combat system, the engaging characters and the well told story. It is a like a very good straight to DVD movie, there’s a lot to like but you can see where it lags behind the blockbusters. It is a step in the right direction for the Star Ocean franchise and definitely worth checking out for fans of the genre.

Fitness Boxing 2: Rhythm & Exercise is a decent way to workout indoors, but won't do much to improve your boxing skills.

Compared to others of the adventure genre, Cognition Episode 2 is pretty average. It serves as a solid continuation of the Cognition story, but if anything it offers just a little less than the first installment.

With a middling narrative and uninspired copy and pasting of missions, it’s hard to argue that this isn’t just another stop-gap affair for Bungie while they put all of their efforts into the upcoming major DLC release in September.

I wanted to get behind Faith and the story, but it seems that the game world oppression of the big corp that runs the city has permanently leaked into the personalities of the characters.

Overall, for those wanting to scratch that point and click itch, you probably already have this game, for everyone else, The Next Big Thing features interesting characters and an interesting story and may be a good excuse to have a break from some twitch game play and simply enjoy the story of the game and flex that brain muscle.

The Little Ones is light on actual children but heavy on despair. An emotional insight into the impacts of war on civilians, but not a substantial expansion on the original release.

Sir Lovelot is a refreshingly simplistic platformer that focuses on delivering a tight gameplay experience and not much else. There’s no story to bog things down, no abilities to upgrade or stats to improve – there’s just a neat visual aaesthetic and some exceptionally smooth running and jumping, which feels great and is satisfying to pull off. Fans of ultra-hard platformers may find Sir Lovelot to be a little on the easy side, but for the rest of us, the game does a nice job of offering a challenging experience without being too punishing.

It tells an interesting, emotionally arresting story from the unique perspective of a protagonist that is rarely seen in video games. Unfortunately, the gameplay isn’t quite as impressive as the narrative or the setting and instead feels as laborious as the chores you’re instructing Talma to perform. Yet despite the boring gameplay, the gripping story and fantastic visuals were enough to keep me wholly interested in the three-hour ordeal, and for that I can easily recommend The Stillness of the Wind to anyone looking for a unique, plodding gameplay experience.

The Lightbringer misses many opportunities. Despite having great core gameplay, it fails to immerse the player in its lore and aura due to its rough, and at times, incomplete edges. If players are willing to look past these shortcomings, the gameplay will keep fans of 2.5D platformers satisfied. That is, if they don’t skip a level every time they are met with the slightest of challenges.

It’s fun at the time, yet ultimately forgettable and the links to the Star Fox universe are tentative at best.

The Zebra-Man! defies summary, and to an extent, review. I'm still trying to wrap my head around what in the world is going on with this game.

Ultimate Band can still be fun. It’s not horrific to play, and the multiplayer mode can be a laugh. Yet for the cost of the game and four Wiimotes with nun chucks, one could just purchase the full band version of Rock Band or Guitar Hero.

Arc Runner gets a lot of things right. A surprisingly extensive collection of weapons that can be unlocked for future use, all of which spawn with a variety of abilities and different rarities. The main skills feel great and you get a new mod after every map section; you’ll lose those mods after death but they can stack and offer great bonuses. The multiplayer seems to work well but is almost a requirement with how difficult this game can become running solo. If you like sci-fi shoot ‘em ups and need to scratch the gear grind itch, this game with sooth that urge, you can even bring a friend or two. I enjoyed the throwback, arcade feel so I am definitely going to keep playing Arc Runner……I need to unlock that Hacker class.

Void Sails started its journey strong, but snail-slow combat and movement took the wind out my sails. An impressive effort by a small develop team, that I wish had the chance to squeeze more juice from the lemon and deliver on what ultimately felt like grand ambition that was unable to be realised.

If you have that itch for some off the wall out of this world speed and a little mayhem on the side. Quantum rush Champions is the ticket to a fast jump in race game experience.

SkateBIRD is ultimately, incredibly charming, but incredibly flawed. It’s fun, when it doesn’t punish you for its own shortcomings, and the blurry backdrops are straight bargain bin-PS1 fodder, but I still can’t help but get drawn back into the odd, goofy world of these skating, winged weirdos.

A routine racket of fun first-person shooter and stealth gameplay and creative heists mired by always online issues and lack of content.

Biomutant has a good base and plenty of things going for it, but I think that is also its weakness. It tries to be everything and in the end it becomes a mess of half implemented features and not fully fleshed out ideas. Whilst there is nothing massively wrong with the game, you can have an enjoyable experience. However I still feel disappointed that the game did not hit that next stage which takes it from an OK game to a great game. Maybe a sequel with more focused ideas could benefit this series.

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.

Ultimately the game is one I think best used as a time filler or a some time indulgence. You don’t need to memorise story elements or spend a long time remembering what the key combinations are… just drive and see how many times you can make your car spin in… well pretty much any and all directions. Not a lot of depth but I don’t think it ever really tried to be more than what it is… just a bit of silly fun. I’d probably wait for a sale but it’s not a bad price for something that can sit on your hard drive and provide a bit of fun when you’ve got nothing else to do.

Populous fans may want to find another platform to relive their memories.

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.

Could be one of PSVR2s best shooters, but is held back by some baffling design decisions.
