Supercar Collection Simulator is a charming little management game that captures the addictive thrill of collecting and selling, wrapped up in a store-sim setting. The core loop of opening surprise boxes, building collections and customising the shop is genuinely fun, and there is enough side content to keep you amused for hours. It nails the relaxing, casual nature of simulators but comes with some rough edges that could use some polishing.
Set on a desolate ship drifting through space, you awaken in a pod as a faceless suit, accompanied by a floating voice that urges you onward. Death is inevitable, as you’ll no doubt learn. When it happens, a mind transfer courtesy of the system resets you to try again, such is the nature of a roguelike. I won’t spoil too much, but before long, you’ll realise many creatures, including a mysterious busty figure, are hunting you. Trust me, this will make a lot of sense if you play.
Cronos: The New Dawn is a thrilling, high-stakes survival horror experience that pushes the Nintendo Switch 2 to deliver on every front, story, gameplay, visuals and sounds. Bloober Team have crafted a game that demands strategy, patience and adaptability, rewarding players with tense, cinematic moments and satisfying combat.
The puzzles are creative and challenging, with two characters who perform different tasks to achieve the same goal. Gloomy Eyes is a simple yet challenging and creative puzzle game set in a whimsical, haunting world, featuring a beautiful tale of forbidden love.
‘These Sunny Daze DLC’ is a colourful expansion to ‘POSTAL: Brain Damaged’, offering fans a fresh setting, new weapons, and additional enemies while keeping the high-octane, arena-style combat intact. The DLC doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it leverages the sunny vacation theme to inject new challenges, visual variety, and humour that’s as crude and chaotic as ever.
Despite the minor shortcomings, my anticipation to finally complete Star Wars Outlaws has only grown, especially now that the game is playable on the Nintendo Switch 2. The ability to dive back into the adventure anytime, anywhere, is a game-changer for me.
Borderlands 4 is an amped-up version of the tried-and-true formula with hefty upgrades to the gameplay. With an action-packed story and a whole new planet packed with possibilities, Borderlands 4 is a wild and wicked time worth experiencing.
At its core, it is a mobile game, but it works just as well as a console or PC game and having crossplay and cross progression between all the relevant devices opens it up to many more players worldwide. Dragon Ball fans have no excuse to not try this free-to-play game featuring their favourite Z Warriors. The game is easy to play and tough to master, but its addictive and competitive gameplay will keep players coming back for more. Whether you’re at home or on the go, Dragon Ball: Gekishin Squadra will have you ready for battle!
Truck Driving on Nintendo Switch feels like a bare-minimum effort that doesn’t really justify its place on the platform. Between the outdated graphics, lack of audio design, and mobile-style gameplay, there’s very little here to recommend unless you’re looking for the most basic truck-driving experience possible.
Helldivers 2 dropped in a time where gamers had lost hope in soulless cash grab multiplayer games. Arrowhead knew to bring the solid gameplay, with a balanced multiplayer system and sprinkled on top a sense of sass and charisma that is unmatched by most games in a similar category.
As someone who’s taken a hiatus from sports titles in general the last few years, stepping back onto the virtual ice with ‘NHL 26’ was a daunting, yet great chance to find my love for the genre yet again.
Overall, Lost Soul Aside is packed with fantastic ideas, though not all of them land. Its bombastic boss fights, beautiful character designs, and exhilarating combat make it well worth experiencing. Still, a forgettable narrative and some repetitive design keep it from fully reaching the heights it aspires to.
Metal Eden is a visually stunning, adrenaline-fueled sci-fi shooter that delivers a thrilling blend of fast-paced combat, fluid movement, and satisfying progression. The graphics and world are breathtaking, and the controls are super responsive. The game’s overall polish, cinematic storytelling, and engaging combat make it a standout title in the sci-fi shooter genre.
The main game is still a delight, and the upgraded visuals really make it enjoyable.
Gears of War: Reloaded is a nostalgic, yet dated, trek through the iconic origins of the beloved Gears series. While the game is essentially a remaster of a remaster from 2015’s Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, it’s a worthwhile introduction for more gamers looking to play on this generation of consoles.
SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance isn’t just a game; it’s a journey that reaches back to the golden age of gaming and pulls you in with a stunning, modern grip and is a confident return for the franchise.
Despite its familiarity to your average farming sim, this is more of an adventure game at its core.
‘Hide The Corpse’ is a highly addictive, extremely physical, physics-based puzzle challenge that never fails to turn an obscenely simple objective into the fight of your life. If you are on the prowl for a game that is truly easy to play and hard to master, then look no further. This quirky, cartoony, “70s-themed gem is a total trip and well worth the addition to your PSVR2 Library.
The ‘Bendy’ franchise has always thrived on its mixture of vintage cartoon aesthetics and psychological horror, and ‘Bendy: Lone Wolf’ takes that formula into darker, more personal territory. Where previous entries leaned heavily on exploration and puzzle-solving, Lone Wolf emphasises survival mechanics, isolation, and the slow unravelling of one character’s psyche.
‘Hidden Memories of The Gardens Between’ is a heartfelt, nostalgic journey through time and memories shared between Frendt and Arina. This journey of quiet reflection is a testament to the outstanding environmental storytelling, incredible set pieces and stellar animation. If you are looking for a relaxing puzzle game that is sure to have your own childhood memories flooding back to you, then this is for you.
