    Painkiller
    Painkiller 2025 is a game that nails the assignment but, in many ways, misses the point. The core of the experience is spot on. The moment-to-moment, the feel of the weapons, the slightly cheeky tone. There’s even some half-decent writing and world-building buried in those quippy conversations between our heroes. What could have been an incredible single-player shooter to rival the original has been reduced to a mostly forgettable cooperative online crack at yet another game as a service thing that doesn’t really satisfy anyone, and makes me wonder why no one at the four companies attached to this didn’t at some point question whether this was the best form for a Painkiller reboot to take.

    Pokemon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
    A more focused, streamlined Pokémon experience that trades rolling hills for boulevard cafes and a greater focus on characters and story.

    Two Point Museum
    Two Point Hospital is great, and this Switch 2 port is largely a great way to play it. An option for 60fps would have been nice, as would mouse support, but ultimately, the addictive gameplay of the Two Point series has translated well to the Switch 2, and console-playing fans of the series should seriously consider picking this one up.

    The Jackbox Party Pack 11
    Jackbox 11 is a return to form, with the excellent Legends of Trivia and some of the best interpretations of a creative drawing game or funny prompt game, this Party Pack would be an excellent addition to your party nights. If it's a long-standing addition remains to be seen, but I'll be spending a lot of time in Pack 11 in the near future.

    The Outer Worlds 2
    Outer Worlds 2 is a smartly written, sophisticated RPG with its tongue firmly planted in its cheek. It’s hard not to see the parallels to real-world events played out thousands of light-years away, against a backdrop that is both at turns ludicrous but weirdly grounded, presided over by a cast of likable characters and a bevy of ingenious systems and branching paths that make for wildly different adventures Let me put it this way, I’m already planning my next trip to Arcadia.

    Persona 3 Reload
    Persona 3 Reload is a superb remake of a cult classic that successfully treads the line between faithful recreation and modernisation. Its gorgeous visual overhaul, much improved audio presentation, and myriad quality of life improvements easily make it the best way to play an RPG that is just as relevant today as it was in the early noughts. In some ways even more so..

    PowerWash Simulator 2
    PowerWash Simulator 2 takes everything good about its predecessor and makes it shinier. New gameplay, equipment, environments, coop play and a home base dynamic will delight fans of the original.

    The Sims 4: Adventure Awaits
    Adventure Awaits does not live up to it's name. Adding small nudges to lots of areas of the game, it doesn't quite know what it wants to be and doesn't manage to succeed at any of it. This is unfortunately not an Adventure you'd miss out on.

    Baby Steps
    If you don't mind the sim-heavy frustrations related to the controls in Baby Steps, you'll enjoy Nate's adventure and all his gaffs and the game's brand of humour. Cutscenes lack much of a point besides making Nate seem insecure and feeble, but despite how memorable and amusing it tries to be-Baby Steps tests your resolve more than anything. There is a meaningful tale behind it all, but Baby Steps more often than not makes you feel sorry for Nate and the odds are always stacked against you-just like Nate. Give it a go then, but nobody should blame if you take one trip too many and just don't feel like continuing the repetitive trudge.

    Kaku - Ancient Seal
    KAKU: Ancient Seal is an endearing adventure with a vast, colorful world and a quirky flying pig companion. Its combat, puzzles, and story are uneven, but exploration and discovery make it enjoyable. If a sequel ever comes, it could be truly amazing if it builds upon the good that is here.

    Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers
    Overall Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers is a solid re-release offering more than enough gameplay and netcode refinement to keep a Fighting game enthusiast sated. With the practice and Player vs CPU mode, this should offer an entry point for “Newcomers” as well. The only real gripe is the price at £16.75. This is on the higher end for a re-release but hopefully this does not discourage people from buying and trying out this game.

    Bye Sweet Carole
    Bye Sweet Carole is a daring but not perfect game. It tries to replicate the tones and aesthetics of classic animated films but can’t reach to the high standard made by them neither technically nor narratively.

    Mulan 2125
    Mulan 2125 is an episodic VR cinematic experience that drops viewers into a post-apocalyptic future where Mulan must navigate a fractured world to uncover her father’s secrets. Visually stunning and immersive, the first episode combines high-end CG environments with subtle interactivity, giving a taste of VR storytelling’s potential.

    Dreams of Another
    Dreams of Another, much like the Richard Linklater movie it reminds me of, isn’t for everyone; it’s disjointed, abstract, and constructed in a way that is purposefully designed to confuse and, at times, frustrate. However, if you’re the kind of person who has an appreciation for games as art and enjoys seeing genre conventions turned on their head to brilliant effect, Dreams of Another is one slice of philosophical gaming whimsy you won’t want to sleep on.

    Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny
    Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny is a colorful action RPG that unites nine Nickelodeon heroes in a light, fantasy adventure. Best enjoyed in local co-op, it offers simple combat, loot, and humor kids will love, though repetition and shallow depth hold it back. For families and Nicktoons fans, it’s a fun and breezy romp.
