In the end, Farming Simulator: Signature Edition proves that the slow, deliberate rhythm of farm life translates exceptionally well to the Nintendo Switch 2. It does not reinvent the plough, but it does not need to. Instead, it delivers a confident, well-rounded farming experience that respects the series’ roots while embracing the flexibility of portable play.
“Montezuma’s Revenge – The 40th Anniversary Edition” is a game that brings the difficulty of 80s gaming into the now. If you played the original or are looking for an old-school challenge, “Montezuma’s Revenge – The 40th Anniversary Edition” is a game that may give you the shits, but it’ll be up to you to decide if the journey is worth it.
Storage Hunter Simulator is part thrill and part frustration. It offers a genuinely addictive core loop of exploring storage units, uncovering hidden treasures, and managing your finds. The game’s slow start, clunky item management, and lack of meaningful progression through RP or a skill system can make sessions feel a little more tedious.
Skate Story delivers an incredibly unique perspective into the mind of a skater’s journey to perfecting their favourite tricks. As a skater myself, I couldn’t have found it easier to connect to the campaign’s challenges that it throws at every turn.
‘Shredders: The Full Ride Edition’ is a visually stunning love letter to the sport of snowboarding. Easy-to-play, hard-to-master mechanics flow seamlessly into the game’s missions, challenges, and progression, paired beautifully with the stunning park designs.
For returning fans, it’s the perfect way to revisit Kate Walker’s journey — now more beautiful, more accessible, and more respectful than ever. For newcomers, it’s a piece of gaming history worth experiencing, as long as you’re ready for a reflective, story-first adventure rather than a puzzle gauntlet.
The interactive story will keep you engaged from beginning to end as you experience this out-of-this-world emotional rollercoaster. Goodnight Universe is an absolute must-play that needs to be experienced.
R-Type Delta: HD Boosted is a shoot ‘em up genre for those looking to get that nostalgic hit. Its unforgiving gameplay is only for the hardcore fans of the genre. With updated graphics and newly added music, it certainly deserves the HD boost in its title.
Unfortunately, CLAWPUNK is not for everyone, but if you enjoy hard 80s-style gameplay, you won’t be disappointed. As uncompelling as the gameplay is, CLAWPUNK delivers a graphical explosion with neon flair and great music. With a great variety of cards, enhancing a cat makes customisation and experimentation fun.
Overall, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 on the PS5 delivers an impressive and ambitious experience that brings the full scale of the simulator under control in a way that’s both exciting and visually breathtaking. The DualSense features add a surprising amount of immersion, the audio work is spot-on, and the sheer scope of the world is something you can sink hours into exploring.
Tingus Goose is a bizarre trip into the unknown depths of love and how it can transform you into something you never thought imaginable. If you enjoy idle games, this is certainly one to get, unless, of course, you like playing idle games so as not to get distracted. Either way, Tingus Goose is entertaining in a brain-melting way.
Project Motor Racing sets out to create a true-to-life racing experience, and for the most part, it absolutely nails it. The combination of razor-sharp handling, cinematic visuals, and a deep, rewarding career mode has made it the most immersive racing experience I have played on console to date. When everything clicks, the tyre wear, the realistic physics, the interior details and the intensity of the race weekends, it delivers an experience that had me hooked.
It can be fun to play for a short period, but there’s nothing about that that will have players coming back for more. Everything can be collected within an hour or two; the overall design looks decent but generic, and the gameplay is simple, but the fixed camera angle lets it down. Legends BMX doesn’t live up to its name at all.
Overall, KAKU: Ancient Seal is a solid and engaging open-world action-adventure that successfully blends exploration, puzzle-solving, and dynamic combat into a cohesive experience. The game shines in its challenging boss fights, fluid controls and rewarding gameplay. The game is not without its shortcomings: a lack of voice acting, sometimes underwhelming character models, and cutscenes that don’t match the quality of the gameplay. Despite these minor issues, KAKU: Ancient Seal offers a unique and satisfying experience.
Truck Driver: The Dutch Connection is a charming, sometimes clunky, but ultimately heartfelt step forward in the franchise. It blends classic truck driving gameplay with a more narrative-driven approach, giving players a genuine reason to care about the journey. The relationship between Lucas and Felix brings a surprising warmth to the experience, even if the story takes a little bit to get moving.
High School Dirty Secrets has an overly sexualised wrapping, but presents an interesting story to discover. With a cliché horror audio, you can become absorbed in the environment, but unfortunately, it has some poor graphical choices that spoil the experience. With a rewarding clue and puzzle loop, it is hampered by excessive backtracking.
Tales of Xillia Remastered provides a chance for fans wanting to revisit the game or those interested in the series to play this game on modern consoles. It’ll be interesting to see which other Tales of games will get a remaster, even if it’s just a port with minor upgrades, because there are many games in the franchise that deserve to be available to play on modern consoles.
RENNSPORT lays a strong foundation for what could become a major player in the sim racing community, but it’s clear the game still needs to find its footing. The core driving experience is largely solid, and the realism is evident, with always potential for growth in today’s gaming landscape.
Forestike is a good game, but I did not foresee the high level of patience and commitment required to complete it. Though I dream of a missed opportunity in visuals, the sound design was on point. With a mountain of gameplay options to unpack with the Forestriker ability, Forestrike is fun, but you need to weigh up if the heightened difficulty and convoluted story are going to be too frustrating for you, as it was for me.
Ultimately, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a mixed bag that attempts to accomplish multiple tasks simultaneously. The campaign is ambitious and chaotic, blending high-octane action with psychological twists and cooperative gameplay. Still, it often feels messy and disjointed, leaving players questioning whether the experiment was worthwhile.
