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.

There are upwards of twenty hours of game time in Punch Club 2: Fast Forward, depending on how eager you are to rise through the fighting ranks.

Save your human from evil AI in Kitten Hero

In a world where AI is a major talking point simply due to the unknown potential, a hero may need to rise up. Could that be a Terminator, re-programmed from the very AI that created it, Neo, Trinity and Morpheus or a cute little kitten? My money wouldn’t exactly be on the kitten first, but I am happy to see how it pans out. Find out if the kitten can be the hero we need in the aptly titled Kitten Hero, out today on Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.

Blend into the shadows in Cynthia: Hidden in the Moonshadow

When thinking about a stealth game, you tend to focus on dark corridors, with only limited light for company. But this next game presents a world full of colour but also one that you invited to stealthily navigate. But despite this positive looking environment, there is still a world to be saved. Cynthia: Hidden in the Moonshadow is out today on Xbox and Nintendo Switch.

Choo-Choo Charles Review

Despite all the pre-release excitement for a train/spider mashup, Choo-Choo Charles is a pretty mundane game.

Shivering Stone Review

If you like a good sokoban puzzle game, then Shivering Stone does it all with a nice snowy theme brushed on top.

Wordsweeper by POWGI Review

Wordsweeper by POWGI is another good entry.

Pixel Cafe Review

Down a double espresso as you will need to be on high alert with Pixel Cafe.

Pinball M – Death Save Bundle Review

The Death Save Bundle and first four premium tables for Pinball M are all excellent, adding hope for whatever comes next.

Combine crosswords with minesweeper in Wordsweeper by POWGI

Just when you thought they were running out of ideas, the team at Lightwood Games are back. Putting together crosswords with an iconic PC game of yesteryear, Wordsweeper by POWGI has you solving puzzles in a unique way. After launching on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation a few years ago, Wordsweeper by POWGI makes its way onto Xbox today.

Bring the whole family together in Party Friends

Picture the scene: Christmas dinner eaten, presents opened, now what? Just Dance seems like a bad idea on a full stomach, and everyone remembers what dad did last year playing Monopoly. The family needs another game to enjoy over the festive period. Can we suggest Party Friends, which is out today on Xbox?

Dark Matter Arcade Fighting Stick Review

The Dark Matter Arcade Fighting Stick - a massive disappointment.

Remnant II: The Awakened King Review

Any excuse to return to Remnant II is a good excuse. And even though The Awakened King does commit a few of the same issues as the first game, it is a solid addition to an already excellent experience.

Pinball M Review

Pinball M does a lot of right things to win back the fanbase. New features, the promise of new tables, and a more traditional format of playing, avoiding the controversial Pinball Pass.

It’s not Scrabble, it’s Happy Words!

Just look at the screenshot we have provided here. This looks like exactly the kind of person you don’t want to play a particular word-based board game against. Their lexicon is excellent, to the point of annoying, and they have a penchant for playing individual letters in corners where two other words meet. Good job then that this next game isn’t Scrabble, but instead it is Happy Words. And Happy Words is out today on Xbox!

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name Review

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name may be a shorter and smaller Like a Dragon game, but it doesn’t skimp on quality.
