Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown is an exciting take on the turn-based genre, aiming for quick and hard-hitting combat rather than the familiar and more methodical approach.

Out of Sight might not be the scariest of games, but it does offer some great set pieces and a fresh take on the genre.

Survive the Fall combines some of the best bits of two of my favourite group survival games of the last ten years to impressive effect.

Trident's Tale is a fun adventure game that offers the freedom to explore at your own pace, alongside an exciting story with plenty of loveable characters.

Monster Train 2 will be the new obsession for all of you deck building fans, with so many build options and limitless replayability.

Despite it being released in 2002, Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny has some cool new features, and is still enjoyable to play in the current gaming climate.

As an old-school adventure game Kathy Rain 2: Soothsayer works, but you'll need to bear with some of its quirks.

Sea of Stars: Throes of the Watchmaker adds an extra campaign that somehow surpasses the base game, and it won't cost you a penny.

Blades of Fire has some elements that feel original and compelling, but it ultimately falls short of the bar set by other AA adventure games of recent years.

Deliver At All Costs is a joyous throwback to the dafter years of our great hobby, and is full of ridiculous missions and smashable buildings.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is a fun and engaging game to play when you just want something to get lost in and not really think about.

While Roadcraft can slow to a crawl at times and has moments of frustration because of it, it’s still a lot of fun bringing civilisation back to these battered biomes.

Pivot of Hearts is a lovely dating sim with wonderful queer and poly options, but the writing lets the experience down somewhat.

Despite a couple of duds in Capcom Fighting Collection 2, there is so much good stuff on offer here and a couple of legit all-timers.

Grandma, No! is a silly and destructive physics game, but one that punches down with its comedy and ends before it really warms up.

Creature Keeper is a creature collection game with some wonderful ideas, but its underwhelming combat and monster designs make it a tough sell.

The Midnight Walk is one of the best games of 2025. It looks so wonderful, has excellent sound design, and a story that keeps you gripped all the time.

Offering appeal to both fans of deck builders and city management, Kaya's Prophecy is a fun but short blast with a cute art style that’s more than deserving of your time.

Empyreal is fun in short bursts, but offers little to stand out or really pull you into its story and universe.

Spirit of the North 2 is a gorgeous game filled with a level of freedom that feels refreshing in today's climate, with smart puzzles and a moving story.

Stratogun is a beautifully executed piece of work that fully deserves to join the pantheon of twin stick lore, and is going to be a near-permanent fixture on my Steam Deck for some time to come.

You have to go into The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered with the right level of expectation - especially if you’re a newcomer.

Drop Duchy soon becomes a complex strategic web but it’s one that has well and truly caught me. It's compelling and has that "one more go" magic.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a delightfully compelling Metroidvania, full of exciting upgrades, side activities, and laugh out loud moments.
