Silent Hill f is a truly beautiful horror and will have me contemplating its subliminal meanings for many moons to come.
After spending the past week jumping across platforms, battling it out on pirate ships, swinging through caverns and operating LEGO cranes, I couldn’t be more impressed. LEGO Party clicks into place perfectly — a new party favourite in my household.
Is it the ultimate open-world samurai experience? Not quite — but it doesn’t need to be. Yōtei is one of the most beautiful PS5 titles yet, with stellar combat, a gripping story, and a deeply personal protagonist. While its immersion doesn’t quite match other recent titles, it still holds its own.
Is frustration enjoyable? No, of course not. But, subjecting oneself to long stretches of frustration just for that fleeting satisfaction of overcoming a nightmarish obstacle? Now you’re talking my language.
If you’re a Kirby fan or a parent with kids, this one’s a no brainer.
If you’re a fan of action-platformers, this one is a no-brainer. SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance shines in its visual presentation, showcasing incredible style and attention to detail. Combat is a standout, allowing you to feel like a master Shinobi as you bounce from foe to foe, unleashing your arsenal of attacks.
STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar is back, dusting off its DS roots and setting up shop on Nintendo Switch 2. Zephyr Town has never looked better, and this remake comes with some welcome farming upgrades.
In cosy puzzler Is This Seat Taken?, you’re tasked with seating various humanoid shapes, according to their peculiar preferences. Some shapes want peace and quiet, others want to blast music, and a few — well, could really use a shower! The puzzle game has certainly tickled my fancy, with its adorable graphics and unique gameplay. I played the whole game in (almost) one sitting — I had to walk my dog in between — that’s how addictive it is.
Echoes of the End takes some big swings with its original fantasy world, gorgeous visuals, and solid third-person puzzles and combat. At the same time, it’s hampered by technical issues and a 13-hour story that — while short — still manages to feel padded in places.
Catto’s Post Office is a brilliant little mail delivery game developed by Brisbane-based indie devs In Shambles Studio and published by CULT Games (Go-Go Town). It’s the perfect palate cleanser between heavier games, or a sweet wind down if you’re after something short, cute, and cosy.
Hinokami Chronicles 2 is more refinement than revolution. It still stumbles in the same places — pacing, story mode exploration and boss fight design.
It’s like the train is being pulled in two directions, and we’re just stuck in the middle.
The Drifter is bold, bizarre, and full of surprises. It’s the kind of game that lingers long after the credits roll.
Donkey Kong Bananza is an imperfect masterpiece. Its ambition pushes Nintendo’s new console — the Nintendo Switch 2 — up to and beyond its limit; serving as both a technical showcase and a reality check.
Cast n Chill is pure vibes. Gorgeous, minimal, and quietly addictive. It’s not very deep, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s calm, it’s beautiful, and it knows exactly what it’s doing.
Everdeep Aurora capitalises on the nostalgia for Game Boy Color era aesthetics delivering a whimsical journey that had every sentimental bone in my body tingling. While it doesn’t quite stick the landing, I still enjoyed the majority of my time with the game.
Ruffy and the Riverside is everything I hoped it would be. It’s a nostalgic 3D platformer filled with charm, whacky characters, and a great balance of puzzle-solving and platforming. The SWAP mechanic is a real highlight, offering a fresh and clever way to progress through the world. Controls are tight, the camera behaves, and the whole experience feels smooth and satisfying.
DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH is a sequel through and through, not straying too far from the style and set-up established within the first game. Instead, choosing to improve upon the formula in almost every way, putting more focus on action, pacing, and enemy encounters.
Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a glorified learning module.
Elden Ring Nightreign delivers a dynamic, adrenaline-fuelled take on the Souls formula. It’s tailored for hardcore fans with fast pacing, and brutally tough bosses... But its reliance on recycled content, and long expedition times may deter newcomers or those seeking a more traditional Elden Ring experience. For seasoned FromSoftware devotees like myself, it’s a compelling challenge. I only hope matchmaking improves at launch — because I’m itching for another run.
