Despite being short, linear and fairly simple, Frightence does a good job of throwing you into the centre of a horror experience.

When we heard that Improx Games were bringing The Last Cube to Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC, we were immediately interested. With a combination of a huge number of levels, some seriously good looking stages and a highly intriguing ‘sticker’ system, it was a puzzler that piqued our interest. So when Improx Games agreed to a little chat, divulging more info on the game, we couldn’t say no. 

I could ramble on and on about the sheer volume of content in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, but I will save that for the full review of the game on Xbox Series X|S. However, be safe in the knowledge that it's on course to deliver its promise of being the biggest LEGO game yet.

Moo Lander is billed as an action RPG game with Metroidvania elements. It certainly is intriguing and has a look which is likely to attract players. However, from what we’ve seen we're unsure as to whether this can be sustained over a full single player campaign. We’ll only know for sure when we see moo-ore.

There’s more than meets the eye in The Last Cube. It may be unassuming, but it’s smart, deep and totally engrossing. 

I was excited about the Game Music Festival before I went along. However, I was not prepared for just how emotionally invested I would become.

Submerged: Hidden Depths nails its core aim. It’s an experience that plays more along the lines of an interactive art exhibit instead of a traditional game. That may not appeal to everyone, but it’s a slice of tranquillity we could all benefit from.

Just prior to launch of the relaxploration title, we grabbed Ed Orman, one of the founders of Uppercut Games and game designer on Submerged, in order to find out more about the secrets of Hidden Depths. 

The neon-clad battle for survival between an adorable snail and a killer AI gives Will You Snail something of a distinctive feel. However, ultimately you will need to be a talented, patient platformer fan to get the most from it.

I was a little disappointed when Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 was announced. This was simply for the reason that the third game - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 - was the one which held the fondest memories.

Five years ago, in 2017, the Nintendo Switch launched pretty much simultaneously around the globe. It needed to be a hit, and rather cunningly Nintendo seemed to be drawing their home console and handheld strands together with a machine that was both.

Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is something of a hybrid - available on that wonderful service known as Xbox Game Pass

Jet Set Radio Future is set in 2024, and we have nearly reached that year in our own lives. However, due to its originality and super cool style, it manages somehow to be timeless.

Despite seeming like an alternate version of Pokemon in many ways, Monster Crown isn’t a total imposter. It is still enjoyable in it’s own right, but apart from a handful of original ideas this is largely because the core gameplay has already been tried and tested.

CrossfireX is a strange beast which doesn't quite fit together. Odd development decisions and a real lack of ambition result in a barely average experience which pales into insignificance when compared to its competitors and previous developer efforts.
