TopSpin 2K25 Review

Experience the festival of your nightmares in Dead Island 2: SoLA

Summertime usually brings with it beer gardens, (the occasional day of) sunshine and music festivals. The latter being the chance to forget troubles of the real-world and just exist in a several day long party. But what if you annual pilgrimage to your festival of choice turns sour when say, the uninvited undead come and crash the party? Find out how you would cope in Dead Island 2: SoLA DLC, out now for Xbox, PlayStation and PC.

Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn Review

Final Fantasy XIV Online on Xbox is built for newcomers.

Experience true terror all over again in Dead Space

I’m not afraid to admit this, but the original Dead Space scared me that much I couldn’t finish it. I won’t be alone in that either, of that I am very confident. Well, redemption appears in many forms, this time in the form of a full remake. It is time to put your big boy pants on as Dead Space is out today on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC.

Looking back to 2018 and the boss rushing of Monster Hunter: World

For myself and many others, the Monster Hunter series was a bit of an unknown entity. Often exclusive to Japan and/or on handheld consoles only, it was a bit of a niche series. That all changed with the release of Monster Hunter: World.

Salamander County Public Television Review

With totally wacky minigames, a stock photo overdose and a suitably surreal story, Salamander County Public Television may not be for everyone. But if irreverence and things way outside the box are your thing, this is a fantastic indie game you will be playing long after you have solved the mystery of the missing residents.

Why Playing Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition with a controller shouldn’t faze you

Don’t worry if you don’t have a keyboard and mouse to hand - you won’t need them for Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition on Xbox Series X|S.

Journey to Kamura Village in Monster Hunter Rise

After the roaring success of Monster Hunter World becoming Capcom’s biggest selling game of all-time, a sequel was inevitable. However, the sequel was exclusive to the Nintendo Switch until recently. As recently as today in fact, as Monster Hunter Rise arrives on Xbox and PlayStation today.

Rise again to face your nemesis in Demon Hunter: New Chapter

Demon Hunter: New Chapter marks the fourth instalment of the hidden object series from the masters of hidden object, Artifex Mundi, to release on Xbox. Chronologically though, it is the second before all Demon Hunter: Revelation, Demon Hunter: Riddles of Light and Demon Hunter: Ascendence. It is the sequel to Demon Hunter: Chronicles from Beyond which, conversely, isn’t available on Xbox. However, Demon Hunter: New Chapter is out now on Xbox and PlayStation.

Challenging platformer OmegaBot is out now

The power of AI is a hot topic at the moment as we begin to see AI art look a lot better than we would have anticipated. But the worry is still Skynet becoming true and destroying humanity. The robot in OmegaBot is different though. It actively wants to help humanity and restore them as a species. Can it do it? Find out today in OmegaBot on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.

Battle against alien hordes in Deep Space Anomaly

With so little of outer space being investigated, it is no wonder these things exist called anomaly zones. These areas aren’t strictly off limits, but caution must be heeded. Find out what happens when you stumble into one in Deep Space Anomaly, out today on Xbox and PC.

Free DLC for Way of the Hunter

Hunting can be a long process. As you use your skills to track the animals it is a game of chase, but one over the course of many hours, and typically at a slower pace too. But with this latest DLC for Way of the Hunter, that game of chase is about to get a whole lot quicker. The Free UTV is out now for Way of the Hunter on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

Trenches aims to show you the true horror of World War I

Sometimes horror doesn’t need a terrifying monster hunting you down or a slasher on the loose to create terror. History has shown us that true horror can even be nothing more than a human being, and this next game is one such example. Trenches is out today on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.

Wave Break Review

Wave Break unapologetically rips the core gameplay from Tony Hawk’s games, changes the skateboard to a speedboat, adds in some almost superficial gunplay and reckons that is enough.

Commemorating the 25th anniversary of the anime, One Piece Odyssey is out now

Even someone with barely more than a passing interest in anime will know what One Piece is. And the Straw Hat Crew are here again in what could be their biggest videogame yet. One Piece Odyssey is out today on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation and PC.

Tower Defence bug shooter Space Raiders in Space is out now

We used to frequent a nightclub that sold bags of Space Raiders alongside your alcoholic beverages. My friend decided one night to eat 20 bags along with copious amounts of vodka. His stomach let him know all about it the morning after. Anyways, this game has nothing to do with the corn snack. Space Raiders in Space is out today on Xbox.

Monochromatic dungeon crawler UnderDungeon is out now

Your first day at a new job likely involves meeting colleagues, finding your way around the office kitchen, and contacting the IT department to fix your ‘new’ laptop. It doesn’t typically involve sharpening a sword and then slicing away at enemies in a dungeon, but then again, this isn’t a typical job. Find out what is needed from you in UnderDungeon, out today on Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch.

Enter the wacky world of Salamander County Public Television

Public access TV isn’t something us Brits are typically familiar with. It gives an insight into the weirder side of humanity, away from rules and regulations of big TV corporations. Sometimes it can make little to no sense except to those actually making the TV show. It can also give us Salamander County Public Television, a game based on the lighter side of public access TV, out today on Xbox and PlayStation.
