Silky smooth arcade racing at its very best, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 - Turbocharged may not stray too far from the previous title, but still packs in enough features to keep you whizzing around those little plastic tracks for hours and hours.
New name, same beautiful game is how I'd describe EA SPORTS FC 24. There is, once again, nothing revolutionary here, although PlayStyles and HyperMotion V are to be applauded as they further blur the line between virtual and real life football.
A lighter side-entry into the Trails series, The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails may not engross you in its narrative, but will surely charm you with its carefree nature.
Whilst not having as much additional content as a full sequel perhaps should have, Train Sim World 4 is still undoubtedly the king of the rails. The almost inexhaustible amount of content on offer is enough to get any train fan to hop on board.
With incredibly in-depth tactical gameplay, a gorgeous art style, and a cast of some of the finest characters in the series, Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless is one of the most enjoyable SRPGs I've played in years.
A tough, but never unfair roguelike, The Crackpet Show: Happy Tree Friends Edition is a blast to play over and over again. Just make sure the kids aren't watching!
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is, quite simply, a must-play. With an engaging narrative and fascinating new locale, this thoroughly gripping expansion will be sure to delight anyone looking to dive back into Night City.
Pay-to-win mechanics aside, NBA 2K24 is a solid basketball sim with unrivalled authenticity; just don't expect a huge leap forward from last year's title.
Eternights is an enjoyable action RPG full of crude humour, lovestruck teens, and monstrous abominations out to kill you. Easy to recommend for any anime fan looking for their next adventure.
Despite the needless busywork of some micromanaging and the missions feeling pointless, One Military Camp is a charming and often amusing base builder that's accessible to a much wider audience than some of the more complex titles of the genre.
Despite some harsh penalties and almost unwinnable scenarios, Don Duality can be a fun and addictive roguelike card game that will keep players grinding away for hours. Providing luck is on their side, of course!

Although it's not as enjoyable as knocking back a few pints with your mates, Brewpub Simulator certainly has a fun gameplay loop that will keep you on your toes whilst also letting you create some wildly unconventional beers.

Miasma Chronicles, while not without its flaws, shines in its intricately crafted environments and thrilling tactical combat, bringing life into what could have been a game as bleak as its dystopian world.

Joe Wander and the Enigmatic Adventures features gorgeous environments and some tricky, yet enjoyable, puzzles. Camera and movement issues aside, this is a fun adventure that puzzle fans will get a kick out of.
