Saros is a relentless, exciting and demanding rogue-lite shooter that combines cinematic spectacle with tight bullet-hell combat. It’s a marvellous follow-up to Returnal, that retains the best bits of its predecessor while sanding down its (minor) rough edges. It pulls very few punches, but will have you saying “one more...

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond delivers an excellent 3D Metroid experience that’s even better on Switch 2. The game’s graphics are a sight to behold throughout, but really shine in its dungeons, where the attention to detail and intricate level design keep you hooked.

Black Ops 7 is a great Call of Duty game. However, I have a hard time recommending it to anyone who isn't eager for more of the same COD we've been playing for decades. New players and lapsed fans will probably not find this game worth their time.
