Bee Simulator: The Hive builds on the charm of the original with a blend of exploration, light action, and a new hive-building system that adds welcome depth. While some reused content and a few rough edges hold it back, the overall package still delivers a warm, relaxing adventure with just enough challenge to stay engaging. It’s a thoughtfully expanded and genuinely enjoyable experience.

Roboquest VR brings the fast-paced, roguelite chaos of the original into virtual reality, letting you sprint, slide, and blast through robot-filled arenas with fully immersive controls. Its mix of chip upgrades, temporary Powercell boosts, and Workshop progression keeps each run fresh and rewarding, while the kinetic combat and inventive weapons feel even more intense in VR. Overall, it’s a polished, high-energy experience that perfectly translates Roboquest’s momentum and depth into a thrilling VR adventure.

Romancing SaGa Minstrel’s Song Remastered International, is a long title for a game that felt incredibly long to review. Whilst it wasn't for me, I suspect fans of previous SaGa releases will appreciate the PS5 Remaster.

I commented in my review of the base game that Two Point Museum was a relatively chill experience when compared to the previous titles in the franchise, and this is still true while playing this. There isn’t much that can be said about Zooseum that can’t be said about the base game, so if you enjoyed that, you’ll likely enjoy this, only now with cute animals.

For those of us who played Outlaws when it first came out, it’s a great treat to jump back into that world (especially without having to dust off the old CD and fiddle with compatibility modes). For those new to the game, the retro charm of the gameplay and the subject matter may be a fresh change from the standard sci-fi or World War shooter fare that tends to dominate the FPS category. Yes, there are some frustrating issues with the game… but those are simply elements we had to put up with back in the day, and the extra content provided here helps give you something to explore while your emotions cool from falling off a ledge or getting stuck figuring out where you need to go next. Worth a look for fans of the original release or for those who love a bit of retro gaming… maybe wait for a sale, but even at full price, there’s a lot here to enjoy or reminisce about.

Marvel: Cosmic Invasion is a triumphant, beautiful, fun romp across the entire Marvel Universe and cosmos. With a varied roster of heroes, and an easy to pick up control scheme and campaign, it's an accessible adventure into the Marvel Universe for any type of fan.

Kirby’s latest airborne adventure succeeds at standing out simply by embracing its own weird, charming identity.

Sweet Surrender is a VR-only roguelike shooter where you climb a machine-infested megatower using fast, snappy gunplay and randomized levels. The gameplay is fun and accessible, but shallow difficulty, repetitive rooms, and bland presentation keep it from reaching its full potential. It’s a solid but modest experience and engaging in short bursts, yet ultimately a middle-of-the-road climb.

Anima: Gate of Memories I & II Remaster brings two ambitious cult action RPGs back into the spotlight with sharper visuals, smoother performance, and a clearer presentation of their dense lore. The core experience is still uneven with dated design, clunky movement, and occasionally awkward voice work remain, but the improvements make the journey far easier to appreciate. It’s a flawed yet fascinating return, especially for those who enjoy old-school, Nier- or Drakengard-style oddities and want a polished way to revisit (or finally discover) this universe.

An enjoyable horror experience, A.I.L.A surprises with fantastic voice acting and an interesting concept, while still missing the mark on total immersion.

Project Motor Racing heralds the return of Ian Bell and co. It retains the visuals and impressive physics of previous games while changing things up with a new career mode.

V-Racer: Hoverbike on PSVR2 is a fast, intuitive, and highly polished futuristic racer that shines through its excellent controls, strong sense of speed, and generous customization options. While the track variety could use a bit more visual diversity, the overall package delivers consistently smooth performance, addictive progression, and surprisingly deep VR immersion. It’s one of the platform’s most engaging arcade racers and an easy pick for anyone craving high-velocity sci-fi racing in VR.

A beautifully crafted 3D puzzle game that has a high chance of making you hungry when playing.

Restaurats takes the cooking game formula and injects it with disorder and chaos. While its mechanics could be deeper, and systems could use more fine-tuning, its spirit is unmistakable. For what it is, a fun indie title with imaginative design and co-op friendly mechanics, it succeeds. It may offer less in the long haul for solo players, but if you’re looking for a quirky, cooperative management game to play with friends, Restaurats is definitely worth a seat at the table.

As someone who was probably a bit too old to have caught the original fandom of SpongeBob but then was introduced to it via fatherhood… I appreciate the love that has been put into this game. It is very easy for franchises to simply churn out pulp slop (anyone from the 90’s remember all those side scrolling/platform games based on things from The Blues Brothers to Home Alone and basically everything in between?). Fortunately, SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide has been made with fans in mind and really does feel like you are in the middle of an episode of the show (the moment SpongeBob and Patrick first learn they can swap who is in ghost form had me chuckling quite a bit). It’s a lot of fun with very minimal stress whilst still not being so easy that you can play it with your eyes closed. It’s the right level of challenge with a lot of fun throughout… highly recommended for SpongeBob fans or even just fans of fun platformers!

The game’s low price and moments of charm give it a modest appeal. Unfortunately, that isn’t enough to elevate an experience that feels thin and undercooked. In the end, it’s a diluted take on a genre already crowded with far stronger competitors.

Lumines Arise is a mesmerizing puzzle game that blends block-dropping gameplay with hypnotic music and stunning visuals. You manipulate colorful 2x2 blocks to form squares, syncing every move to a pulsing soundtrack while exploring dynamic, themed stages. With new mechanics like Burst, customizable playlists, and both single-player and multiplayer modes, it’s a deeply immersive experience that’s easy to pick up but hard to put down.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment if a fun yet more importantly relatable twist on the Warriors genre with our favourite princess leading the charge!

Tales of Xillia is not perfect but it remains a deeply enjoyable and emotionally resonant JRPG. Its heartfelt storytelling, strong character development, and exciting combat continue to define what fans cherish about the Tales of series.

The Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack is a great entry point into the Atelier franchise. There's tons to do and see thanks to the inclusion of all prior DLC and some new content exclusive to this package.

While not perfect, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is an incredible remake of two fantastic, staple games of the genre. While it may not be for every type of player, the new enhancements, updates, and quality-of-life improvements make it a must-have for returning fans and modern JRPG enthusiasts.

Taken together, Winter Burrow succeeds as a survival game that is polished, accessible, and quietly affecting. It may not satisfy players looking for fast paced action, but for those drawn to slower, reflective experiences it offers a distinctive blend of challenge and comfort. By merging its cozy aesthetic with meaningful gameplay, it delivers a survival tale that resonates beyond its mechanics. On Xbox Series X, it stands out as a thoughtful and memorable addition to the genre.

Syberia – Remastered is a faithful modernization of a cult classic that will likely appeal most to returning fans or players who enjoy slow, meditative adventure games. While the updated visuals and performance enhancements are welcome, the core gameplay and puzzle design still feel trapped in the early 2000s, often prioritizing nostalgia over modernization. There’s an undeniable beauty in its melancholy story and atmosphere, but the journey itself can feel more mechanical than magical. If you’re willing to overlook its clunky moments and old-fashioned design, Syberia – Remastered offers a heartfelt adventure through a world where clockwork dreams still tick—just a little slower than they used to.

For those perhaps new to the genre, or if you aren’t interested in park management that gets too involved, then Jurassic World Evolution 3 is a fantastic starting point to test your dinosaur-handling skills.

A facelift of the 2009 original Game of the Year Edition, Replanted is the best way to experience this classic and a great price.

Masterful Roman-themed city-builder with deep gameplay systems for enthusiasts and an accessible story campaign for casuals.

A touching tale of friendship and the power of light over dark that is as spellbinding as it is jaw dropping.

Long time fans of the off-the-wall action puzzler and newcomers alike are bound to have a ball.
