Starfield is an epic work of science fiction wonder and is a true Bethesda RPG at its heart. The world is expansive, and the main story and all the side-quests are brilliantly crafted. The game looks amazing, has an incredible score, and will genuinely wow you with the galaxy's vastness you can explore. If you’ve ever looked to the stars and wondered ‘what if’… this is a game you must play. It isn’t just for Bethesda fans.

Train Sim World 4 (Deluxe Edition) is a phenomenal example of a simulation game. With fantastic graphics, awesome audio, and deep gameplay, this is the best train driving title yet. However, if you don't love trains, you'll probably find it to be slow and tedious.

Lies of P is a fantastic soulslike game with strong homages to Bloodborne. The combat is fun, with the upgradability of the weapon feeling unique in how it impacts gameplay more than simply increasing damage. Resource management can be challenging, and if you can endure the inconsistency in combat, it is worth checking out. Lies of P feels familiar, yet distinctly unique, with a wonderful story and a dark aesthetic.

My Little Universe is a fun-filled adventure title. Can you explore the universe, find resources, and destroy your foes? Work alone or with 3 gamers as you uncover every mystery. My only complaint is the amount of grind!

Mystic Gate is a cruel and harsh rogue-lite title. You'll die, respawn, and die again. This simple gameplay loop won't be enough for some, but I enjoyed its sinister and often unfair ways.

Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur is a cruel and challenging rogue-like title. Can you explore a fantasy realm and save Camelot? Use the skills and powers of your fallen knights to slay every foe you face. Furthermore, no playthrough is ever the same. As such, this oozes replay value and longevity. However, it doesn't quite hit the levels found in Hades.

Despite a couple of promising ideas, Rogue Cards is dragged down by uninspired card designs, bland art and a strong sense of repetition. With so many excellent choices in the turn-based roguelike genre, Rogue Cards seems destined for obscurity.

Wildmender is a cruel survival title that can be played alone or with 3 others. Can you survive this brutal world while growing a beautiful garden? Avoid sandstorms, collect resources, and discover every magical secret. This is one indie title that shouldn't go under your radar!

Dolphin Spirit: Ocean Mission is a cute and wholesome educational adventure title. As such, it is perfect for children or those who have a thirst for knowledge. However, its lack of difficulty and repetitive tasks will put some people off. If you can cope with the shortcomings, you'll enjoy a relaxing and rewarding experience.

If you’re a fan of JRPGs and are looking for a small time-sink whilst waiting for some of this Autumn’s more blockbuster releases then Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten will certainly pass the time, but there’s a chance that there’s something out there in the same space doing something more interesting.

Astrea: Six Sided Oracles swaps out cards for dice, which turns out to be a stroke of brilliance. It's an enjoyable and thoughtful roguelike, although the world does feel a little cold at times. Still, it made me seriously think about my deck, which is almost unique, and the core gameplay loop is enjoyable enough to keep people playing for many hours.

For those looking for a short adventure to pass an evening, Shalnor Legends II is an okay title. My playthrough took me roughly 10 hours or so to see through to the end and was an alright way to pass a weekend. Unfortunately, there are a lot of better options out there when it comes to the adventure genre. While it is not terrible in any aspect, there are a lot of things that are just okay here. The visuals are passable but with some caveats. Some of the character models look extremely rough and hard to comprehend at first glance. Music is another instance of mediocracy. No tracks really stood out as exceptional or terrible during my time with the game. Everything about Shalnor Legends II just lands below average, making it extremely hard to recommend in a sea of games in the same genre.

Humankind is a 4X strategy title that falls a little short. With too many menus and confusing mechanics, it is hard to pick up. However, it can be tested on Game Pass and that is a massive positive.

Escape from Terror City is a low-poly 3D bullet help experience. Furthermore, this short title will drive you mad because of its odd depth perception. Consequently, you will become frustrated, and this is unfortunate. However, if you love old-school titles, you'll still fall for its charms.

Not so much a blast as a puff of air from the past. Xuan-Yuan Sword: Mists Beyond the Mountains' age can't excuse its frustrating gameplay and shoddy writing. The re-release comes complete with awful translation just to seal its fate.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a phenomenal addition to this much-loved franchise. With excellent acting and some fantastic plot twists, this will keep you entertained throughout. Furthermore, it has plenty of replay value. My only complaint is that each of the chapters should have been longer.

Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy is a funny 2.5D puzzle platformer. What's more, it can be enjoyed alone or played with 2 friends. As such, you'll argue, scream, and laugh repeatedly. However, there is a serious lack of lore, and this disappointed me.

Full Quiet is a fantastic retro experience. Moreover, its shrill audio and pixelated graphics will take you on a trip down memory lane. However, its Metroidvania approach is a tad frustrating.

Demolish and Build Classic is a fun and oddly addictive title. However, it doesn't reach its potential. Furthermore, the audio is weird and graphically it is dated. As such, it won't impress veterans of the genre. Even though I found faults, I still enjoyed my time with this rudimentary simulation game.

Ninja or die is an interesting game that takes its simplicity and runs with it. For those looking for something quick and easy to pick up, this is definitely a title worth putting on the list.

All-in-all 30XX is an excellent example of the genre done right whilst also accounting for people’s varying skill and taste. The graphics are good, the music is superb and the game does exactly what it sets out to do, emulate Mega Man with all its might whilst still creating a fresh experience for veterans of the roguelike circuit.

REMEDIUM: Sentinels is an excellent rogue-like auto-shooter. Moreover, it will remind you of Vampire Survivors and Brotato. As such, if you love those games, you'll adore everything you experience.

Running Fable is a competitive racing title that sadly lacks originality. Furthermore, it doesn't get the basics right and keeping up with the action is a tiresome task. However, it can be fun in small doses, especially when you take on 9 other players. Disappointingly, though, it doesn't reach its potential and I cannot recommend that you buy it.

Baldur's Gate 3 is a fantastic fantasy RPG that will be sure to take hundreds of hours of your time as you explore the world, delve deep into the plot, and enjoy countless other side activities. It looks fantastic, plays fantastic and is just all-round fantastic.

KILLBUG is proof that a simple, well-designed core gameplay loop can be all you need. Shooting and slashing your way through hordes of bugs is fantastic fun, largely unhampered by a few issues in the presentation.

Agatha Christie – Hercule Poirot: The London Case is a fun but simple detective adventure title. With colourful characters and an interesting and faithful story, this is great for fans of Christie's work. However, it is far too easy and that holds it back.

Star Trek: Resurgence is a love letter to the franchise. This narrative adventure game feels like a movie or a series of the long-running franchise with new characters, new issues and the same heart. The story carries it, and it’s as good as some of Star Trek’s best. If it wasn’t for the occasional bug, this would have been a perfect game.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a tough but enjoyable horror title. Choose to be one of the family or escape before it is too late as a victim. Either option is great fun as they test your patience, teamwork, and skills.
