Achilles Survivor is an exceptionally polished and moreish title that nestles in with the likes of Vampire Survivors and other popular roguelikes in the genre. This one has some unique aspects, including building structures that assist you in the heat of battle. It blends tower defence strategy with fighting hordes, which I haven’t yet seen with any other similar experiences. For the same price as the average pint of beer here in the UK, it is well worth a punt for several hours of fun.
Killing Floor 3 is an absolute must play game of 2025, either solo or multiplayer, but it all depends on how you prefer your content. If you don’t mind the dripping release, then buy it. But if you prefer to have a more complete experience with all originally intended content, I suggest waiting a year or so after Tripwire Interactive has added everything.
The developer has done an amazing job with this mind-blowing title. Not only does it look great, but the controls are tight, the combat is impressive, and the grim world is amazing to explore. On top of this, it is included with the Game Pass subscription service. Accordingly, you have nothing to lose, and I suggest taking a look at the Xbox store!
I was pleasantly surprised by Rally Arcade Classics, and I’ve had a ton of fun dipping into the huge feast of content on offer. If you’re a fan of older rally games such as V Rally or Colin McRae, then, like me, you’ll enjoy your time with this.
Griffin is a fun little shmup. Decent and limited diversity of weaponry, challenging bosses and overall well designed levels. It’s also a rare case of where a game from 1990s still holds up pretty in 2025.
Looking at the gameplay only, Ready or Not is a fun, challenging, tense and enjoyable FPS. It’s offers a nice diversity in a world of Call of Duty or Battlefield games, but there’s something missing.
Irem Collection Volume 3 is just another partial collection of games that I feel should be released as a bigger package; more games for a slightly higher price or let players pick and choose what they want to buy.
If you’re looking for a polished, modern experience, this isn’t it. But if you’re looking to understand where games like BioShock, Prey, and Deus Ex came from—if you want to see the roots of player-driven storytelling and atmospheric design—then this remaster is definitely worth your time.
Spirit Of The North 2 builds upon the goodness of the first outing, improving the experience by offering a larger world and extended playthrough. If you played the original and loved its calm nature, the compelling storyline, and the gorgeous worlds, then you’re in for a treat and will love this adventure
Star Overdrive is a unique title that is fantastic fun and compelling enough to see through to the end. I can’t fault the ambition of the development team in creating something that feels enjoyable to play and explore. It misses the mark in some areas, but the core gameplay loop and cruising around on the hoverboard kept me engaged from the start.
This genre is saturated. It feels like every indie developer wants a piece of the pie. Though this isn’t an issue per se, you get a lot of poor imitations. Thankfully, Soulstone Survivors isn’t in that category. It is well polished and a joy to play.
Heaven Dust is a great homage to early Resident Evil games and solid enough to stand on its own. Plenty of puzzles, exploring, shooting zombies and even three endings for players to enjoy.
Submersed 2 The Hive definitely gets an A for effort, but F for execution. I forced myself to play this; I *really* wanted to enjoy it, but how the character moves made it impossible and mostly frustrating as some sequences require precise movement.
Look, I get the nostalgia factor LUNAR Remastered Collection and that the core games come from a different time, but this collection will mostly appeal to those who played the originals. But to newcomers or first timers, it’s hard to recommend this faithful collection.
The Lost Cube is a fun, addicitive and fairly challenging platformer that plays perfectly in short bursts. Each level makes you think as to how you can get through it; although the game’s pacing feels a bit unbalanced in terms of level complexity, it won’t dether the overall experience.
Sir Lovelot reminds me of a bit of Super Meat Boy, but easier and less hair pulling challenging. It’s a fun addictive little platformer that will have players go “one just more level” until they reach the end.
If you crave a game that throws logic out the window and replaces it with a firestorm of chaos, Maniac is an absolute must-play. It’s unpredictable, ruthless, and downright hilarious—a love letter to the joy of pure, unfiltered anarchy.
Admittedly, dating sim-style games aren’t usually my thing, believe it or not. However, as a reviewer, I like to approach experiences open-mindedly, as you never know if they’ll take you by surprise. Date Everything! is probably one of the most wacky and unique games you’ll ever come across in this genre.
RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is definitely one of the better RPGs to (re)release this year. Easy to pick up and play, but still challenging, demon fusioning is a fun and addictive mechanic; trying to make your perfect crew. But some quality of life improvement do make the experience a bit irritating. The forced auto-targeting causing headaches during boss battles, the constant hand holding can feel like a detriment. On the good/bad side of things, it’s shorter than most RPGs, clocking in at around 20-ish hours, story only. If you don’t explore and rely on the handholding, it can be ever lower. As a die-hard fan of the original, and the SMT universe as a whole, I still enjoyed my time with RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army despite its shortcomings and I strongly recommend it,
Rematch is mechanically solid with an addictive gameplay loop, and it looks great too. I can see myself pumping hundreds of hours into this one, and it’ll be one of those games that will always have a special place on my hard drive. If you have an Xbox Game Pass subscription, then it will be available to everyone on Thursday, 19th June 2025 and is well worth your time.
