Are you ready for a new story-driven survival horror experience? Whilst 2022 may seem some way away, you'll want to put The Callisto Protocol on your radar - if only because this comes from those behind the Dead Space franchise.

We're not sure why it hasn't happened before because integration of The Muppets into the Overcooked! series seems like a match made in heaven. Fear not though because the dream partnership has now taken hold as Swedish Chef joins the roster of playable characters in Overcooked! All You Can Eat. Bork, Bork, Bork!

There’s a rock-solid premise at the core of Killer Chambers: what if you took the confined spaces of an escape room, and then fired shedloads of bullets at the person in that escape room? Well, that person would probably die, and yes, they will die plenty of times in Killer Chambers. More importantly, they would probably dodge, jump and hide until the bullets ran out. There you have it: the essence of Killer Chambers. Killer Chambers is out now on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S to join previous releases on Nintendo Switch and PC.

Straight out of France from debutants Douze Dixièmes is Shady Part of Me, a platform-puzzler. It’s been released without any real fanfare, but it’s no indication of the game’s quality. In fact, there’s plenty to get excited about, as we’ve given this a play and can confirm that it’s a fantastically atmospheric and narrative-driven adventure in the manner of Little Nightmares and Inside. Expect a review soon. Shady Part of Me is out now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Switch and PC.

You may remember the cheap, yet rather addictive, puzzler SiNKR released by Wahler Digital earlier this year.

You have to hand it to Xbox Game Pass, it’s wheeling out some bangers this Christmas. We’re getting a steady stream of high-quality games that we wouldn’t necessarily have bought ourselves, as well as narrative-flavoured games that don’t have a huge amount of replayability. Mørkredd very much falls into both brackets, and it is out now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

CD Projekt Red are on a hiding to nothing. Seriously, if they deliver the goods with Cyberpunk 2077, then that is pretty much what is expected of them and not a soul will batter an eyelid. But fail to even reach the levels that the hype surrounding one of the most anticipated games of all time has created, and they will be blasted from all corners. Whatever happens though, all you need to know is that Cyberpunk 2077 is now available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4 and PC - finally.
