Rendering Ranger R² [Rewind] for me is a testament to the ingenuity of 16-bit game design from the mid '90s and i'm gutted that I never played it first time around. It's definitely a must-play for all the run n gun maniacs out there and for less than a tenner this is absolute steal for your Nintendo Switch!
The consensus has already formed that Pacific Drive is a Marmite game and, despite its obvious artistic excellence, killer vibes, and intriguing premise, it’s just not what I want from a game. Then again, this is like someone who doesn’t like American football struggling to enjoy the new Madden game, or a person who has ethical concerns about punching a sumo wrestler in the face playing Street Fighter. Pacific Drive is absolutely a game for someone, probably someone I have a lot in common with. But it’s absolutely not for me.
Moving Houses is a game that will only take a couple of hours to see through and feels just about the right length for its premise. A little more variety in the main gameplay mechanic would have made a lot of difference in those moments where things start to sag, but overall, Moving Houses is a neat bite-sized slab of subtle surrealism.
A game that may sate your appetite for an evening of spooky horror, Mortisomem gets by more on mood than pure scares, and is all the stronger for it – that said, finicky controls and a slight sense of plodding gameplay does take the edge off this bite-size folkloric horror tale.
At it’s current price, Care Bears: Unlock The Magic is a tough game to recommend as it just feels like a compilation of forgettable – yet competent – mini-games that feel more at home on a mobile device.
Dogubomb have created not just one of the best games of 2025, but also a title that feels like it will be discovered for years to come – and even when players reach that 46th room, there will be other aspects of obscure puzzles and notes scattered around that yearn to be solved. This is a game that will absolutely be a GOTY for many, many people in 2025 – very much a huge recommendation from us here at GF and absolutely deserving of our rare 10/10 rating.
Problems with a ‘by the numbers’ story and gameplay are massively exacerbated with a game-breaking event, I think the game does just enough to get by, but being completely unable to continue is unforgivable. Its never pleasant to say this, but following my experience with Into Death and Beyond, I can’t recommend this title.
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.
