If you can look past the rather hefty problems – i.e., the silly amount of loading screens found in the campaign – then the rest of CastleStorm II on Xbox One is absolutely fine. The humour is stupid but on point, the battle scenes are fast and frantic, and the world-building is just deep enough to let you feel like you’ve got a proper control over proceedings.

If Milestone Studios bring a new motorbike racer to the market, you know it'll continue the rich history of the studio. And with RIDE 4 it is that team which are looking to build on the experiences of years past to deliver a whole new level of racing realism to Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Back in 2015 Techland released a game that would mix up the zombie genre once and for all. That game was Dying Light; it was - and still is - a bit of a masterpiece. In fact, across the five years that have since passed us by, it's still thought of as one of the premier zombie experiences available on console. If you haven't played it, there is now no excuse as Techland have dropped a full Dying Light - Anniversary Edition to the world. And this comes with about as much content as you'll ever need.

The Falconeer is right up there as one of the most anticipated indie titles of the year. In fact, we've been looking forward to it ever since we had the pleasure of chatting with the dev back at the start of 2020. Now though there's a new trailer to wrap our eyes around, one which promises to take us up into the skies in order to choose a side and pledge our allegiance. And yet again, it shows off just how stunning The Falconeer is going to be.

ASTRO Gaming are, without question, right up there amongst the leaders of the premium video gaming equipment market. They've got cheap headsets which can let anyone game, they've got fancy cans that come with price tags to match and they've got the Call of Duty branded A10. Now though they've got the A03 In-Ear Monitor. And these promise to keep gamers gaming, with the best sounding audio, wherever they are in the world.

Lethal League launched on Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch back in 2019 with the promise of providing players a whole new street balling experience, one that was complemented with some funky fresh beats. It hit all the right notes too - just like it is doing today with the release of some new DLC for Dice.

We've been on the Rogue Company train ever since we first heard of Hi-Rez Studios' epic cross-platform team shooter many months ago. The hype was real from day one, it was built on when we had the opportunity to sit down and quiz the team behind it back in May, and then it reached epic proportions when the Founders Packs dropped in July. Now though it's time for the main event - Rogue Company goes free-to-play, with full cross-play and cross-save support on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC, today!

By now you're probably fed up of hearing how good Overcooked! is as a party experience. But in case you aren't, let us fill you in - Overcooked! and Overcooked! 2 are among the very best party experiences available on console and PC. And even though Team17 and Ghost Town Games are hard at work ensuring that the All You Can Eat Edition is ready for Xbox Series X launch, it doesn't mean they've given up with Overcooked! 2. As the latest free update proves.

You could be mistaken for thinking that the main aim of everything you do in Monster Hunter: World and the Iceborne expansion is to go monster hunting. But you'd be wrong. See, it's all about the decor in our eyes - and that is where the latest batch of downloadable goodies comes into play.

When Dovetail Games announced the arrival of Train Sim World 2 onto Xbox One, PS4 and PC via Steam, part of the deal was that those players who had spent a host of cash on multiple DLC options for the original game, could take that content over to the sequel. Upon release a few of those packs made their way into the game, and just a few short weeks ago other pieces dropped in, but now it's time to see a third batch of content packs work their way into Train Sim World 2, with a German theme front and centre.

And that in itself is what makes the Xbox Games With Gold scheme so damn enticing - four free Xbox games per month, all delivered digitally to your own personal games library. No fuss. No bother.

The only question that is really left answering is a simple one - which free Xbox game will you be playing first?

The next instalment of the class-leading Assassin's Creed is just around the corner and before we know it we'll be hopping into Assassin's Creed Valhalla and experiencing the life of a fierce Viking raider. In order to build up the hype a little - like it needs building! - Ubisoft have today dropped a brand new trailer, one that goes deep into the life of Eivor and allows players to get a glimpse of the legendary Viking saga that awaits.

We already know that Elite Dangerous is the go-to space offering for those looking to travel the universe, and thanks to the upcoming price removal for the Horizons expansion, those galactic opportunities will fast become easier to handle. But looking further ahead we'll be given the chance to forget our own path when the Elite Dangerous: Odyssey launches in 2021 - and that is where the latest instalment in the Road to Odyssey dev diary series comes in.
