LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight builds on strong LEGO foundations by incorporating the Arkham games and LEGO City Undercover. It’s become more sprawling and more engaging through combat, stealth and driving. But its accessibility has not been lost: anyone can dance with the devil in the pale moonlight, not just adults.

I felt like Sands and Relics was a toe in the water, a test of whether this kind of puzzle would be accepted by the baying puzzle hordes. I think it will, but it will need a Sands and Relics 2 to really push the format to its limits.

Tiny Lands 2 is a nice, cozy game - there’s really no other way of describing it.

Midnight Swamp isn’t going to blow anybody’s socks off - the art and story are a little too basic for that - but I reckon it will satisfy most point-and-click fans. It gets the job done with fine interactions, tight logic, and an unexpected focus on puzzles.

If you wish cat sims on the Xbox would stop blocking you from exploring and, you know, acting like a cat, then Pawbay might be your saucer of milk. But it comes with its own problems, not least some control limitations and a tiny game world.
