An open-world adventure game set in an intriguing sci-fi world, I've absolutely loved every moment I've spent with Caravan SandWitch. Whether you're exploring, completing a side quest or hunting down important components, there's so much to do — and the fact you can do it all at your own pace...
Spiritual sequel to Void Bastards, Wild Bastards changes up the formula but isn't necessarily the better for it. Its board game-like maps introduce some strategy, but its basic first-person shooter Showdowns disappoint, as do some of its other underdeveloped elements.
Challenging you to run around tracks filled with hazards such as laser beams and circular saws, DeathSprint 66 is like nothing else out there. Providing you're not squeamish, it provides hours of fun whether played alone or against others online.
Fun-loving, colourful and jam-packed with a random selection of well-known franchises, I really wanted to love Funko Fusion. Indeed, there's a lot to like, and exploring its worlds (and finding its absolute mass of collectibles) is plenty enjoyable enough. It just puts too much emphasis on combat, and fighting your...
Inspired by Silent Hill, Hollowbody will feel familiar to anyone that has played an entry in Konami's celebrated horror series. In any case, this is a seriously unsettling survival horror game with some fun puzzles, and its unique setting makes it feel somewhat fresh.
Disappointing, that's the best word to describe Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown. Its handling is solid and it has a large open world filled with a variety of events and activities for you to explore, but technical issues, poor visuals and other frustrations just bring it down.
Capcom's finest retro collection to date, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics contains one the best fighting games ever made as well as one of the best side-scrolling beat 'em ups. But every game here is worthy of your time, and all have been enhanced in numerous ways that...
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions does a fantastic job of capturing the magic of the Wizarding World without overdoing it on fan service. Sure, there's a healthy helping of Harry and his pals in the training segments of the game, but beyond that point, this is all about you and your...
Akimbot feels like a blast from the past, but one that hasn't aged all that well. Sure, it's smooth, fast-paced and responsive, and there are some nice setpieces here and there to break up the gameplay — but it's not quite enough to stop it from feeling repetitive and a...
There's definitely fun to be had with Umamusume: Pretty Derby - Party Dash, whether it's via playing its minigames with others, or getting stuck into the unlockable Golshi's Grand Adventure 2. There are some issues, however, and there's just not enough content here to warrant the price tag.
Demon's Mirror is basically Slay the Spire, with the addition of tile-matching gameplay. It's a novel idea but ultimately it doesn't quite pull it off, with too many ideas that don't all gel together as well as they should. Still, if you're a deck-building roguelike fan, it's worth a look...
Astro Bot
Engaging from start to finish and full of wonderful touches that take your breath away, Astro Bot is a phenomenal experience that will keep you glued to your screen. And even once you're done it's likely that you'll return time and again. Ultimately, it's a joyous celebration of video games,...
