As an experiment - something that scratches the itch of whether games can work with one button - One Button Games 5-in-1 might be worth £4.19 to find out for yourself. As an exercise in accessibility, it’s noble and that price tag will have appeal.

You’ll certainly enjoy your time with the crew of The Red Marley in Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew. The challenge is real, make no mistake, but using the different crew members and finding the sweet spot in terms of powers does keep you retrying.

Episode two of The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a remarkable improvement on the opener. The zero-g section is exciting and tests your stealthy skills, while the storytelling is slightly better thanks to the voiceover quality and a worthwhile conversation.

WrestleQuest is a great RPG adventure that’s oozing with personality. Full of exciting grappling, it’s absolutely a love letter to a bygone era, but it also works for those unfamiliar with the wrestling business, thanks to a cavalcade of quirky characters and eccentric drama.

Stray is a masterclass in escapism gaming. Taking a rather unusual perspective doesn’t stop this being a joyous experience from start to finish, irrespective of whether you are a cat person or not.

This is it. World of Solitaire is the Solitaire game on Xbox that so many of us have been waiting for. It comes with intuitive controls that suit the pad, no unnecessary frills, and five of the best Solitaire variants that you can play. Layer on a neat battle pass-like system (don’t worry, there’s no whiff of MTX here), and you have pure Solitaire goodness.

If you like your games to come with a slower, more relaxing pace, then Scarf will happily tick boxes. The world is a pleasant one and the gameplay is simple, but it all comes together to deliver enough of a challenge.

Whilst A Song of Ice and Dust may be the most fun DLC for Saints Row 2022, there are still question marks over it in terms of length. The five missions can be completed in under two hours and the new location offers little you haven’t seen hundreds of times already.

Yeah yeah, it should have been baked into the main game, but as an EP of extra songs go, LOUD: My Trip to Japan is a rather welcome improvement on the LP.

There is a charm to Strange Horticulture, even with the occult themes and downtempo music, but only if you can stick it out long enough.

Reverie: Sweet As Edition is not going to set the world alight, but apart from Shalnor Legends: Sacred Lands this is the closest you’ll find to an old skool Zelda game on the Xbox. It deserves some recognition for that alone.

Aery - Heaven & Hell ends up in neither Heaven or Hell. It’s snugly in Limbo. Just as we thought we were going to soar up to the Pearly Gates with some high-fidelity visuals and pressure-free objectives, we come crashing back down with repeated levels, shoddy storytelling and a frustrating bug

Fluffy Milo delivers a wholesome Sokoban puzzler that’s easy enough for most to get to grips with. The difficulty curve is absolutely spot on and you’ll seldom feel any puzzle is beyond solving as long as it’s approached logically.

If you’re pining for Guitar Hero and Rock Band, and are willing to accept a tribute act that is low on peripherals and high on tunes that are inspired by rock and metal hits of the past forty years or so, then maybe you should hitch a ride on LOUD: My Road To Fame.

Maybe this is not a game of the year contender, but it’s probably a good starting point for the new direction and rejuvenation of Double Dragon.

Warlander is best in its first few games, so give this overblown MOBA a go, experience its best moments and make your choice. Just be prepared for shallowness to bite after the first few hours.

Oceanhorn 2 - Knights of the Lost Realm might be the perfect choice for those looking to get their teeth into a family friendly adventure.

Common’Hood provides you with all the tools you need to craft a beautiful world with a vibrant community, but it needs a bit more than sandpaper to smooth out the rough edges.

Marble It Up! Ultra is a game that will have you staying up late at night, chasing leaderboard times and going all out for bragging rights.

Binarystar Infinity is a demanding but rewarding little shooter that fans of the genre will lap up. It’s not particularly innovative, outside of the minimalist aesthetic, and it could definitely have added more moves and weapons to its central spaceship, but it gets the important things right.

If you are ready for an epic, third person action adventure, then look no further than Atlas Fallen.

Ultimately, Potata: fairy flower has plenty to enjoy; a solid platformer that is both challenging and fun in the same breath.

Whether you simply jump into a new Franchise, or play a quick tournament with all the modern features you would expect, Legend Bowl may not be a Madden killer, but it can stand toe-to-toe with the licensed franchise.

Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical is as flawed as its characters, but there wasn’t a moment we weren’t revelling in its company.

Despite not breaking new ground, Sea Horizon is a thoroughly enjoyable card based strategy game that offers both challenge and adventure.

Bright Lights of Svetlov is cheap to purchase and over fairly quickly - but occasionally that’s all you want in a game. It’s helped along by delivering an interesting and intriguing short story about a certain time in history, in a country that many won’t know much about.

Save Koch is a hard game to recommend. The random nature of the procedurally generated events in the city ensures you will want to take in multiple playthroughs, but even then, you may struggle to understand what is needed for success.

FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake proves that they don’t make them like they used to. There are a couple of issues with the UI, mainly it not being clear, and it must be said that going into battle against the world will see you taught a big old lesson. But that only proves what a hard game this is.
