All in all, X-Out: Re-surfaced is a little different from the other horizontal shooters of yore, and this does give it its own identity. I would have liked some more content on the history of the game, but the more tasteful aspects of this remaster give it appeal, just be prepared for a serious challenge!
If you are looking for a fun wrestling game that nods back to the past, then this is for you, it has a variety of wrestlers, arenas and match types, and you can tell that the game is made with love and that shines through in all facets of RetroMania Wrestling.
There’s definitely something here, and the blend of investigative policing and turn-based combat is a great combo, but it’s done so loosely here that the technical issues get unavoidably in the way of having fun and getting the bad guys off the streets and into body bags (or handcuffs, I suppose, if you’re into that sort of thing.)
Worth a play if you and some friends are firefighting fans, as that human element will allay a lot of the tedium, and totally remove the AI-centric issues. If this is game you hope to play in single player mode, however – be prepared for some infuriating immolation incidents.
It’s one of those games that keeps me distracted from the main quest, because I know I’ll get that bittersweet sigh when the main plot wraps up and I feel ‘done’ with the game...and then possibly have to wait years for another game to come along and pull me in quite as intensely. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is the perfect follow-on from the original, and it tweaks and fine tunes every aspect, from drunken dice battles through to tense and weighty conversations that can easily spiral out of control, and the inevitable myriad scrapes you’ll get yourself into – and have to talk yourself out of! The only downside that I can see is that the pacing of the game, and the deep, incremental levelling up system may be off-putting to some. I am not one of those people.
Blow It Up is a game that is great fun for all the family that can teach youngsters all about physics whilst being explosive fun at the same time, just be prepared to yearn for How Much is that Doggie in the Window after a while.
There is still enough here for you to have a decent time, the sniping is a different element for these types of horror games and is something you don’t see too often. Sniper Killer has some nice moments but for me, doesn't quite come together completely, in terms of the story.
Tiny Terry’s Turbo Trip was a gem to play, and has absolutely won me over, despite a few minor niggles. I was getting Anodyne 2 vibes in how the humour connected with me, and the sense of a truly unique world designed unto its own rules, a great little title – I’m looking forward to seeing what the studio brings us next!
Overall, "Atomic Heart: Enchantment Under the Sea" is a riotous sci fi FPS that had me hooked from minute one and has made me promise myself that I will play the original base game before the end of 2025. Of course it's a must-play for fans of the series so far and a solid recommendation to those who enjoy the likes of Bioshock and Wolfenstein.
Big Helmet Heroes has big, colourful visuals and a soundtrack to match, but the lack of any online aspect or four -player modes may be a shame to some. It’s a very good looking and sounding adventure with enough humour to keep things light, but it doesn’t quite have the wow factor to hold off the more tedious gameplay aspects of the side-scrolling brawler genre in the long run. Although for short blasts of mindless fun, I tip my helmet to it.
This is a delightful game that I am glad I jumped into with my arms wide open and my passenger door ajar. If you want to experience something special in the card-based RPG world, then this is the video game for you, my friends.
Starbound is a game that comes highly recommended from us here at GF and, in summary is a far superior space exploration game to Starfield – and it has a sense of humour.
Under Defeat is a solid addition to the continually growing Nintendo Switch SHMUP library. It's a well-executed port that retains the ballistic awe and intensity of the original arcade game.
SYNDUALITY’s one saving grace is that the third-person exploration isn’t terrible. Sure your mech lumbers around slowly and overheats at the drop of a hat if you boost, but the moment-to-moment action is broadly compelling, especially the tension when you’re figuring out if another player is going to stab you in the back or not.
It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but my word, it makes it trundle along as smoothly as ever, with a nod to the classics of the past.
The game world is brought to life through the lore, and there’s a sense of historic high-magic and epic scale that matches the sweeping musical score, not to mention the pristine presentation of the game engine that provides a smooth experience. But, whilst the larger-scale enemies provide memorable battles, the moment-to-moment combat and incremental sense of hindered character progression makes this feel a very ‘by the numbers’ experience that doesn’t reward or satisfy individuality in playstyles, and forces a more linear approach to the game.
Dance of Cards was a wonderful game to discover, and it’s zany take on the – admittedly specific – poker RPG genre has been a real highlight of 2025 so far. Come for the poker, stay for the music, what an awesome little game.
Yes, this is a game that you’ll dip in and out of for quick sessions, but what did you expect from a fast food racer?! The only left to do now is buy it...do you want fries with that?
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is truly a triumphant return to form for the series which benefits from taking it back to basics whilst combining the best elements of previous DW games with some new flavours, making it a must-play for both fans of the genre and Dynasty Warriors newcomers alike.
The Dog Man franchise seems a fun and far-reaching thing, but this particular video game entry in its overall franchise feels a tad overpriced, and the basic game play and jaunty music just cannot make up for that fiscal discrepancy. Absolutely wait for a sale on this one, if it is a game that you feel you must play.
