Life is Strange: Reunion is a strong send-off to Max and Chloe’s story for gamers who have been there since the beginning or picked up on the way through.
Jesus Simulator is an interesting concept, turning one of the most well-known stories in history into an interactive experience, and I’ll give it some credit for trying something different. The narrative approach is respectful and easy to follow, and the inclusion of the mini-games helps break up the story. However, the game struggles to deliver on what could have been potential. Between the lifeless world design, stiff animations, poor graphical quality and lack of immersion, it becomes difficult to stay engaged.
Marathon is a high-stakes sci-fi PvPvE. From the tense, loot-driven loops on Tau Ceti IV to the unforgiving, labyrinthine decks of Cryo Archive, the game keeps you constantly on edge while rewarding careful planning, teamwork and skilful play. Every run feels unique, whether you’re pushing through security, racing over crews to vaults, or trying to make it out alive with your rare loot.
Within the community, it is commonly believed that Death Stranding is better experienced on the PC due to its graphical enhancements, and Death Stranding 2 – On the beach will be the same, in my opinion. This title is something special and is a must-play for new players and old fans alike. Be prepared to have your breath taken away by the beauty and the horror that is Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
Longtime fans may not like some of the changes, but the added features, especially the new endings, will give them plenty of incentive to play through the story again for a new experience, and it’s also a great way for newcomers who may be interested to get into the series. Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is an experience unlike any other.
This is what the gaming community needs: developers who want to push the boundaries and lead, not follow what has been done before. This one is a must-play for all of you who love arcade racing games; it’s high-octane fun with a mix of classic golden-era gaming and anime.
Fallout 4 was already an impressive game back in 2015, and many players still go back to it today, and it gets a new lease on life on the Switch 2. Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition is just as thrilling as before and will have you gearing up in your vault suit and strapping on the Pip-Boy once again.
Overall, John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is a very solid game in a genre that is flooded. Except for the vehicle aspect, it doesn’t do anything different that sets it apart from other zombie horde games, but it is still a quality product and scores very highly in my opinion. By yourself or with a few mates, you will have hours of fun. The different zombies, the optimised hordes, the storyline and beautiful environment really make this title the complete package.
Pokémon Pokopia is the kind of creature comfort we cosy gamers need to keep us happy in our own habitats, providing a chill, healing space to escape to.
Overall, Crabmeat is a nice little game. It takes the realistic machines and processes from crab fishing and mixes them into a horror game. While this is an unusual mix, with the storyline, it actually works. If you’re after a little challenge and enjoy the fishing process, jump in and see if you have what it takes to clear your debt and head back to society; your family will thank you.
Resident Evil: Requiem is a haunting reminder of why this franchise continues to sit atop the survival horror throne. It doesn’t just rely on nostalgia or familiar names to carry it forward; it constantly evolves. By intertwining Grace Ashcroft’s vulnerable, psychologically heavy journey with Leon S. Kennedy’s battle-hardened resolve, Capcom delivers an experience that feels both fresh and deeply rooted in the series DNA.
If you’re keen to get back into the Monster Hunter universe, but with a focus on a well-told tale, addictive gameplay and a fresh approach to combat, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is an expedition worth embarking on.
As slow-paced Sumerian Six can be at times, it’s by design, as you must often stop and think about how you may approach each scenario. The gameplay is satisfying, and the narrative has you hooked, especially if you are a sci-fi and history buff. While there might be some very minor hiccups, they are rare and far between and do not take away from the Nazi ass-kicking fun.
Overall, Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf is a polished masterpiece. The way the developers guide you into creating your own storyline is such a unique feature and something different in this saturated genre. Coupled with the untamed graphics and atmosphere, if this is your genre, don’t hesitate to buy it now!
WWE 2K26 feels like a monumental step forward for the series, offering a truly complete WWE experience that caters to every type of fan. From its expansive roster of over 400 playable characters to the revamped gameplay mechanics, modes and customisation options. Whether you’re reliving CM Punk’s career in 2K Showcase, staking your claim on The Island, managing a brand in MyGM, building unstoppable teams in MyFaction, or charting your path to glory in MyRise, WWE 2K26 delivers something for all the fans out there.
Two Point Museum is a management simulator game created by Two Point Studios. While the new expansion, “Two Point Museum: Zooseum,” still involves curating relics of the past, it now focuses on animals. As the overseer and head zookeeper on Nintendo Switch 2, playing Two Point Museum: Zooseum gave me a new appreciation for wildlife conservationists.
Overall, my experience with ‘Ship’s Cat’ was very split down the middle. While the game was absurdly amusing, the constant worry about whether I had to reload a save soon ruined the mood as I had to walk on eggshells in certain areas, afraid I would clip through the surface. I would probably recommend picking the 2024 PC version if you are aiming for a ‘mice’ day!
The Tales of series began in 1995 with Tales of Phantasia on the Super Famicom. Currently, there are 17 games in the main series, plus various spinoffs and crossovers with other properties, as well as a few anime adaptations. Bandai Namco has been revisiting old games in the series and porting or remastering them for modern consoles.
Reigns: The Witcher gives that weird little dopamine hit of gambling against all odds with significantly less real-world implications – maybe a little lost sleep and addiction, but redirected to a noble plight in Witcher work. For fans of the Witcher series and those looking for a short but moreish game to master, Reigns: The Witcher might be worth the fanfare.
Corner Kitchen Fast Food Simulator delivers a satisfying sense of progression and captures the hectic charm of running a fast-food restaurant, especially when its systems are firing on all cylinders.
