Tavern Manager Simulation is exactly what it has set out to be: a cozy management game. It tries to be different in a market flooded with simulators, and it hits the mark, but be prepared for the grind!
RIDE 6 is a love letter for motorcycle enthusiasts, balancing deep simulation with accessibility in a way that appeals to both veterans and newcomers. With over 340 bikes, diverse tracks, realistic physics and extensive customisation, it delivers a sense of identity and ownership rarely seen in racing games.
Overall, Humanitz takes an existing, well-established genre and sets a new benchmark. If you are a fan of titles such as “Rust” and “7 Days to Die,” to name a few, this game is for you. Don’t let the isometric view put you off; you will soon get used to it.
The Run was such a unique ride for me. I will admit it was nice to sit back and see what unfolded with a few clicks here and there. You really do need to have a box of popcorn to flick it at your screen, though, to get you through some of the more cliché or predictable moments.
‘My Hero Academia: All’s Justice’ delivers almost entirely nothing but the best for the fans of the My Hero Academia Franchise. Even though the game does suffer a little with some quirky movement mechanics and some out-of-place sounding vocal lines, overall, Byking Inc. have delivered one hell of a fighting game. There are more modes than you can poke a stick at, which is nothing but a good thing for us. Gameplay is fast, fluid and challenging, no matter how you play. Whether you’re a fan of the franchise or just discovering it, this is a fighter that you’re not going to want to miss. With a final “Plus Ultra,” I bid you farewell until launch day. ‘My Hero Academia: All’s Justice’ Detroit Smashes its way onto PS5, Xbox Series consoles and Steam on the 6th of February.
The original Fighting Force is the far superior game of the two games, but having both included is a great way for fans to relive a hidden gem and a bad game if they wish, and for newcomers to experience two lesser-known titles from back in the day. Fighting Force Collection may not be the most feature-rich compilation, but it brings back a long-forgotten franchise to modern consoles and some fond memories for longtime fans.
While in some instances going back to the classics in almost their original condition doesn’t feel terrible, in this case, it could feel much better.
EBOLA VILLAGE delivers a tense, old-school survival horror experience that prioritises atmosphere over action, and for the most part, it succeeds. While the story is light and the game could benefit from some additional visual polish, its unsettling environments, brutal combat and audio design do a great job of keeping the tension high whilst playing.
The transition into an open-world game feels natural and gives you plenty to do when not in an intense and gruelling battle. The action-packed and unapologetically difficult battles are where the game truly shines, testing your skills and reflexes. Nioh 3 is easily the best in the series and an incredibly rewarding experience.
If you are after a simulation game that offers good building, decorating, breeding, hands-on customer interactions, and putting stock away, this game is for you. It really is a cozy simulator; the huge selection of items and animals to unlock keeps you coming back for more and gives the game longevity.
I Hate This Place, as a game, is a great adaptation of the popular comics series. Fans of the comics will appreciate the story, but it’s also welcoming to newcomers. It may be rough around the edges, but it will keep players on their toes, test their patience, and force them to be resourceful. I Hate This Place shows great potential and is a true standout in the horror genre.
I can certainly see why Vampires, Bloodlord Rising has over 200,000 wishlists on Steam. If you are looking for an infinite sandbox game that has massive potential, yet is already a stable and visually appealing game to play, add this one to your shopping list; you won’t be disappointed!
LANESPLIT delivers a focused, adrenaline-fuelled arcade experience that thrives on speed, risk, and flow. While its presentation, soundtrack, and score-chasing gameplay loop do a great job of selling the thrill of land splitting at extreme speeds, technical hiccups and a lack of depth in bike detail and audio balance hold it back from reaching its full potential.
Overall, Code Vein II improves on the first game with more in-depth combat, better voice acting, and fun characters. However, a world that feels a little empty and some minor bugs hold it back from being the perfect sequel. Still, this is a fun way to start 2026 and should be on your radar if you’re a fan of the soulslike genre.
Disco Simulator delivers a fun and approachable take on nightclub management, offering satisfying progression, meaningful upgrade paths, and a clear sense of growth as your club evolves. While its tycoon foundations are solid and the cartoon visuals suit the theme well, shortcomings in audio variety and console optimisation hold it back from reaching its full potential. Overall, it’s an enjoyable experience for fans of management sims, especially on PC, but it does show some rough edges that stop it from truly standing out in the genre.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 edition is worth it for the graphical and performance changes if you own a Nintendo Switch 2, and is an essential addition to the Switch catalogue of cosy games.
At a grim checkpoint on the brink of collapse, survivors arrive one by one, desperate to pass through, and it’s your job to decide who enters, who waits, and who is denied access.
Grave Stakes is built on a genuinely compelling concept, blending social pressure, dark humour and high-stakes multiplayer into an experience that can be tense, chaotic and occasionally brilliant. Its game-show premise, risk-versus-reward system, and unpredictable player-driven moments create excitement.
Apartment No 129 may not live up to its full potential, since it has a lot of elements that feel incomplete, and the execution of the story might feel anticlimactic. It still does enough to create intrigue and curiosity, persuading players to keep going to find out what happens next and learn more about the true story/urban myth it’s based on.
Dreadway is a sleep agent. It really was such a fun time with a full squad of four, with events set up to make you giggle and run in fear for the safety of the train.
