Prepare for a bonkers experience in McPixel 3 as you’ll have to save the day in the weirdest possible ways, over and over again.

We felt a film of grime developing on us as we played. NORCO’s world is decaying and warping, but we couldn’t help but sift through it.

Bravery & Greed is an example of a fusion of genres done well.

It’s not simply a souped-up version of XCOM with superheroes instead of top tier soldiers however, for there’s card-play, RPG elements, adventure, and much more in Marvel's Midnight Suns. Have Firaxis Games nailed it with their first attempt at such an ambitious concept, or does Marvel's Midnight Suns fall short of its potential?

Primal Light is a retro-styled platformer that should only really be considered by serious masochists.

Warp Drive hits the barrier a few times, mainly in the way it executes on its ambitious ideas, but we can’t help imagining a sequel that overtakes everything here.

The world of The Knight Witch is vibrant and well-crafted - if you’re open to a challenge, then it’s worth looking past the few shortcomings.

Yuppie Psycho is well made, nicely themed, and creates a neat and twisted interpretation of office life.

Hindsight is a brilliant examination of grief, and the moving on in life thereafter.

‘Super’ Rebellion, in hindsight, feels like an exaggeration. Mediocre Rebellion’s more appropriate, but that probably wouldn’t sell as many units. 

There’s much included in the DUO Charging Stand box, and no matter whether you are stuck with an older Xbox One controller, making the most of the slight amends found in the newer Xbox Series X|S pad, or flit between the two, Gioteck have got your back. 

Ignore the simplistic art, forget that Intrepid Izzy was originally developed for the SEGA Dreamcast, and you’ll be treated to the best Shantae game without Shantae in the title. 

Fans of Lemmings and its sadistic pleasures will get a lot from Flying Soldiers.

Mechapunk doesn’t feel like a game so much as a performance art piece – one that proves that capitalism is as two-dimensional as the things we aspire to enjoy, maybe? There’s plenty of space to conjure up a metaphor that excuses this mess – “what room!” indeed.

Just Dance 2023 is another colourful slice of dance wrapped up in stunning visuals and catchy tunes - perfect for warming yourself up on a cold night, chilling out with friends or heating up the party. For us, it’s got the best playlist for a good few years too.
