Rabbit Raid is a forgettable experience that only really has one gimmick - picking up and throwing vegetables. But even that is barely a factor throughout the majority of the game, only being utilised during the even more forgettable boss fights.

Blow it up has enough about it to remind of the joys of Angry Birds. The destruction mechanics are good, as is trying to work out exactly where the sweet spot sits, all so you can go blowing things up with aplomb.

If you’re a fan of Assassin's Creed, hooked from the very first game, you’ll find a lot of love for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. It feels very familiar, but still manages to do a great job of adding extra relish in terms of combat, visuals, and storytelling. There's no doubt that the double protagonist pivot, with different playstyles, is a winning formula.

WWE 2K25 is impressive all-round with its exciting and enthralling gameplay that’s enhanced by a great selection of game modes. While The Island doesn’t reach its potential, the likes of MyFACTION, MyRISE and Showcase are thriving. And then there’s the massive roster to take into account, which is crucial to longevity.

Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo is yet another by the numbers platformer which provides a fleeting but fairly fun flutter of gameplay, even if it fails to do anything that helps it stand out from the crowd.

As a first foray onto Xbox consoles, Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & The Envisioned Land does a stellar job. It looks stunning, and the strong mix of exploration, alchemy and combat all complement each other extremely well. At times it does feel the story beats are a bit too spaced out, and the world map is daunting to look at, but no two play sessions are the same.

You’ll have a good time with Prison Loop, and the cost outlay feels about right for the amount of time you will get to spend with it.

Not to exaggerate but Split Fiction is a very special game. It’s one thing to aspire to offer variety and bring so many ideas together. It’s entirely another to manage it so successfully, creating a game which just gets better and better and better, as well as managing to stick the landing when it comes to the final act.

Wanderstop is visually stunning, complete with a great soundtrack and capable of surprising anyone who plays.

Gravitators brings something a little bit different to the table of an overcrowded market, and as such is worthy of a look. While it isn’t massively original, bringing things together as it has, does deliver a spark of originality.

If you can get past the annoying controls and unwieldy camera, then there is a semi-fun game to be found in Glover (QUByte Classics). The levels are well designed and the bonus stages offer up some good variation, but it will take some patience and effort to get to that point.

Whilst the odd trap may see Steampunch occasionally err on the side of ‘challenging’, this is a platformer that is about as simple as you can get. Slightly imprecise mechanics add to that, but mostly this is a side scrolling platformer that can be completed in less than a hour. And then forgotten about straight after that.

Two Point Museum is arguably the best in the series yet, and keeps the hot streak going for the consistently brilliant sim series.

In a few words, if you like things a bit different, then I would highly recommend trying Sorry We’re Closed.

We reached the end of Cats and Seek: Dino Park without any fuss, and enjoyed the brief time spent with it. Well put together, if you're a fan of cosy gaming, hidden object hunting, or cats in general, it'll be well worth your time taking a trip to the Dino Park.

The choices in Afterlove EP are plentiful, but it does feel at times they are a bit too superficial, and don’t have much bearing on the way the overall story is progressing. But that story is still an interesting and engaging one, and that’s what makes Afterlove EP a great narrative.

Even after investing many multiples of hours into Civilization VII, you’ll continue to be dragged back in. Much like most of the franchise, it's a real time-eater, and once you start it's hard to stop. There may be a bit of a dumbing down in systems, but as someone who has come back to the series after time away, I appreciate the change, even though it continues to feel familiar.

There is a ton of DLC available for City Transport Simulator: Tram, but even with all that, is this a game that will fulfil your tram sim needs? Well, maybe. The simple nature of driving a tram across a city is fine, but the career mode feels lacking

Crowns and Pawns: Kingdom of Deceit will bring a smile to your face. If you had a checklist of all the best bits of a point-and-click game, this is one that is capable of ticking nearly all of it off.

Techno Banter is a short game, and even in that time, your interest may wane, but on the whole the writing is good, as is the chance to explore a pixelated cyberpunk world.

If you're thirsty for a unique and flavourful RPG experience, a game that is full-bodied, then Cabernet might be just the drink you're looking for.

Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator is both interesting and reasonably engaging. The mix of driving and treatment simulation is unique, and it can be educational to learn about the different instruments and medications used in emergency medical care. However, the driving sections can become tedious after a while, especially when navigating through dense traffic or dealing with unpredictable pedestrians.

The Backrooms 1998 is a great horror game, albeit one that is pretty short. You may enjoy the earlier aspects more than those that play out later down the line, but throughout a playthrough you’ll find some excellent sound and visual designs, as a real sense of menace plays out.

You will enjoy your time with Momodora: Moonlit Farewell. If you are in the mood for a retro platformer, or are a fan of the earlier games, then this is an easy sell. But even if not, there’s no doubt that this is a well crafted game that is ripe for exploration.

With a cheap price tag and the promise of easy achievements and bags of Gamerscore, Pirate Trails is very much what you would expect from Afil Games and their seeming obsession with cheap games; a below average gaming experience that will be forgotten as that last achievement ping is heard.

A simple tile swapping puzzler, much like other games from Afil Games, you'll be done with everything Bee Flowers has to offer in just an hour or so.

We'd like a bit more clarity on what is going on within 3°C: Sand Puzzle, but that doesn't stop it from being a fun little colour matcher, capable of keeping players busy for an hour or two.

The action is gripping, and even if the pirates are so stereotypical it sometimes makes you wince, the gameplay is what makes Rogue Waters a success.
