Shadow Labyrinth is a dark and gritty Pac-Man spinoff that somehow manages to be one of the best Metroidvanias in recent memory.

RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business is more of the same, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The combat is excellent, the new setting is fun, and Peter Weller is back!

If you’re into your low-stakes farming and crafting games then you may find Gaucho and the Grassland is a fun way to kill a few hours.

Kaizen: A Factory Story is perplexing and charming in equal measure, and it’ll keep you riveted from start to finish.

Ready or Not isn't a game built on fun and frolics, but teamwork and quick thinking, and if you engage on its terms you'll find plenty to get excited about.

As an early game Mycopunk has a lot of time and opportunity to add more to its arsenal. Once there’s more base content and more to do overall, it’ll be well worth diving into, but for less than £15 it’s not a bad shout to support a dev who clearly has a lot of passion for the genre. [Early Access Review]

Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is a wonderful adventure in a gorgeous world, and deserves to put River End Games well and truly on the map.

Even in its current form Ground of Aces is a great base building game, and there’s so much still to come to it. There’s a detailed roadmap on the game’s Steam page that talks about trading with nearby villages, hunting local wildlife, and so so so much more. Regardless of if you play it now or later though, it’s a unique and compelling game that I’d highly recommend. [Early Access Review]

Tamagotchi Plaza Switch 2 Edition has some silly charm, but the dull minigames and lack of tutorials end up making it a chore to play.

I Am Your Beast is a fantastic, easy-to-swallow FPS that can be an absolute breeze or a hardcore challenge depending on the individual.

This is a definite improvement on what Mythforce was at launch, and offers a great slice of first-person action. [1.2 update score = 70]

Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster is a gloriously traditional JRPG, with compelling combat, fun new minigames and many hours of content.

Luma Island is a no nonsense crafting game with lovely exploration, but everything starts to feel a bit samey after the first few hours.

Zombie Army VR is a generic shooter in virtual reality, lacking anything different to any of the other shooters out there that have already done a better job.

If you’re a big fan of the main game, then Atomfall: Wicked Isle will give you something to do for a few hours.

The biggest issue that FBC: Firebreak has is that it’s far too ordinary for its own universe.

Ruffy and the Riverside is pretty far from perfect, but it does feature some incredibly clever ideas, loads of puzzles and gorgeous visuals.

American Arcadia may not have a particularly original premise, but it does present recycled ideas in unique packaging.

Rematch is a good time but it really is a game of two halves: amazing with friends, but frustrating beyond belief with random players.

Lies of P: Overture does a fantastic job in not only bringing us new characters and new challenges, but also new levels of accessibility.

Quantum Witch is a delightfully queer narrative based platformer with wonderful writing, but the lack of direction it gives will lead to frustration.

Locomoto is a really lovely game, and with the array of customisation options for your train plus a delightfully low stakes story.

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is one of the greatest games of all time, blending freedom in its gameplay with a story and soundtrack that will be remembered for decades.

Survival Kids is a fun if somewhat simple co-op game that you can only play on the Switch 2, and is well worth a go especially for younger gamers.

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is just decent, when you'd expect more for something designed to show a new system.

Still Wakes the Deep: Siren's Rest is an emotional dive back to the Beira D oil rig, with some seriously tense moments and a whole lot of heart.

RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is an absolutely first class re-do of what was an already excellent game.

Whether you play solo or with friends, Rooftops & Alleys will suck you in with its varied and seamless movement mechanics.
