Summertime usually brings with it beer gardens, (the occasional day of) sunshine and music festivals.

Find out how you would cope in Dead Island 2: SoLA DLC, out now for Xbox, PlayStation and PC.
If you have already played Arcade Paradise, then you will have probably wondered how so of the games within aren’t standalone releases already. Given the quality of many of the arcade games, it is a reasonable assumption.

Kung Fury: Street Rage is the new DLC for Arcade Paradise on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
This next game feels like a fusion of two generations for sure. And after a successful Kickstarter campaign to originally launch on the Nintendo Entertainment System, NEScape! is out now on Xbox and Nintendo Switch.
Final Fantasy VII is regularly seen as the greatest game in the fabled JRPG franchise, yet it is hard to argue against CRISIS CORE -FINAL FANTASY VII- REUNION being the best spinoff.
Walking simulators may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but their usage in storytelling over the past decade has created some truly standout games. Firewatch, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, and What Remains of Edith Finch are just three off the top of my head. Can this next game join their ranks?

In Super Meat Boy, every death covers the level in blood. Now, imagine if you can a level completely in black, where platforms and boundaries need ‘discovering’.

Most gamers will have heard of Potion Permit by now. You know, the cost life-sim mixed with an old-school adventure game where you help create potions to aid the residents of the new town you find yourself in. Our review of Potion Permit was kind but argued that it was perhaps lacking a bit of substance. Good thing then that there is plenty of new DLC bits on the way, out today on Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.
It is one thing to convey a moral through your chosen medium, but it is another to actually practice what you preach.

Not to be too pessimistic but in the distant future, when we live in a dystopian nightmare, there will only be a couple of things that unites humanity. We will all own a gun of some sort, but they won’t be self-defence. Instead, people will use them to play the only sport in town that matters. Hyper Gunsport is out today on Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC.
As an owner of two rabbits myself, I find the concept of this name game offensive. My thinking is that the world would be a better place if everyone had a rabbit or two in their life. That was until I saw the trailer for this next game and saw a man dressed as a carrot get disembowelled but a horde of maniacal rabbits. That’s when I knew we were in trouble. Fluffy Horde is out today on Xbox.
There are classic beat ‘em ups like Streets of Rage, Fatal Fury and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that many gamers would think of before this next title.
