• SWITCH
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A charmingly short and sweet Metroidvania style adventure, featuring an ordinary cat doing ordinary cat things, in a game that’s perfect for casual gamers and for enjoying between larger epics.

• SWITCH
• 4.5 / 5
• Royaume-Uni

Much more than just another indie Metroidvania, as the intricate level design, gorgeous visuals, and clever item usage conspire to make one of the most entertaining puzzle adventures of the generation.

• PS5
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

One of the best live service games comes to PlayStation 5 and while the combat is still frustratingly flaccid the sense of camaraderie and exploration is second to none.

• SWITCH
• 5 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

As laidback and undemanding as the Wii originals but in the modern age it seems restrictive and repetitive in a way that’s unnecessary and even patronising.

• XSX/S
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A charming, cartoonish action role-player that’s probably not going to make Sand Land the next Dragon Ball but is a fun and unusual adventure in its own right.

• PS5
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

At last, a Soulslike manages to do things at least a little differently to Dark Souls, with some clever new features that take advantage of the more cartoonish setting.

• PS5
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

Its main character is an embarrassment to gaming but if you can ignore that this is a very competent action game, that borrows wisely from both Bayonetta and Dark Souls.

• PS5
• 6 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A successful restatement of everything that was great about the early Suikoden games but many of its old school affectations will only be excused by existing fans.

• PS5
• 5 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A spirited attempt to reimagine the ancient 70s coin-op as a modern narrative-based game, but the necessarily simple gameplay is a poor match for the overblown storytelling.

• PS5
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A polished Metroidvania infused with Africana, whose linearity and overreliance on rote-learning action sequences undermine its otherwise high standards.

• SWITCH
• 3 / 5
• Royaume-Uni

A wonderfully bizarre premise is spoilt only by frustrating motion controls, but this is definitely the best Victorian lady slapping simulator ever made.

• PS5
• 6 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

It would probably make a better movie than a game, but there’s still a unique charm about Harold Halibut and his slow-paced journey to discover his place in life.

• SWITCH
• 3.5 / 5
• Royaume-Uni

One of the best Sonic The Hedgehog games never made, although the level design and combat isn’t quite up to the standards of Sega’s best.

• SWITCH
• 8 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

The epitome of short but sweet, that is both a clever tribute to Drill Dozer and Ecco The Dolphin and a welcome alternative to bloated and overlong modern epics.

• PS5
• 4 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A barely-interactive movie that follows a mother and daughter road trip that is disappointingly short on both drama and meaningful choices.

• PC
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A clever and well-structured interpretation of the classic TV series as a co-op brawler, that would be a fun diversion even without the licence.

• PS5
• 7 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

An entertaining open world action role-player, with an interesting approach to AI-controlled companions, but which proves disappointingly similar to the 2012 original.

• SWITCH
• 5 / 10
• Royaume-Uni

A disappointingly shallow and unfocused adventure that is aimed solely at a young audience – and even they’re likely to feel somewhat bored and patronised by the end.
