We Are the Caretakers deserves heaps of praise. You can point to the world design, story, depth of gameplay and themes of conservation and find something to fall in love with. But it needed longer in Early Access.
If you want to be transported by an RPG, or demand a dungeon-crawler with some colour, sass or story, then Ultimate ADOM - Caverns of Chaos won’t do anything for you.
While its sharp-edges are enough to make it a wary recommendation, hardcore puzzle fans (or players who come for nostalgia) might find that NEScape! is at least worth a Blockbuster rental.
Considering Mahjong - Xbox Series X|S low-balls its efforts, creating a game that’s absolutely devoid of ambition, it’s a wonder that it still gets so much wrong.

If you’re considering a gift for an Xbox and Apple fan who keeps getting hustled off the telly, or wants gaming on the go, look no further than the NACON MG-X Pro Made for iPhone controller.
The final week of the Horizon Race Off dawns in Forza Horizon 5, yet as we prepare to bid farewell, there is a last hoorah in the shape of the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges for Series 32 Spring.
Summertime usually brings with it beer gardens, (the occasional day of) sunshine and music festivals.
