In the end, I'm glad I gave Returnal a chance five years ago and Saros is a fresh take on a format Housemarque has mastered – a satisfyingly frantic shooter that weaves between strategy and impulse to create a well-balanced and gratifying sci-fi action game.

Without question, Forza Horizon 6 is a really fun game to play, but how long it can hold your attention will be reliant upon how much you like racing games. For me, it definitely did bring back some of those fond memories from racers back in the day, and jumping in to kill some time was a great way to experience the game.

Directive 8020 is a bold attempt to evolve a familiar format, but ironically the biggest and most ambitious changes only serve to dull the game. The best parts of the title are when Supermassive plays to and builds on its strengths, and it's a shame that this game deviates a bit too much away from that.

Pragmata is an incredibly fun experience that's full of satisfying combat, progression and unlocks, providing constant dopamine hits of sci-fi sounds and meaningful upgrades. This charming action-adventure deserves to be a massive hit and you should take a chance on one of this year's best games.

It's a shame that Reunion's fumbles, from its handling of Double Exposure's events to Max and Chloe's ending feeling unearned, drag down its brighter moments. Despite being underwhelmed by the conclusion to Max and Chloe's story, Life Is Strange as a whole still means a lot to me, and going forwards I see no reason why we can't have new stories in the series' universe.

It's heavily inspired by the first game but doesn't understand what made the original enjoyable, and is further let down by imprecise movement and forgettable level design. Meat Boy's 3D adventure is little more than a generic platformer, and that's disappointing.

Crimson Desert's sandbox playground and beautifully crafted world do a lot of the heavy lifting to just about overshadow its confusing elements, generic story, and boring characters. What's here is an overwhelming amount of content and the bones of an amazing game that has to be respected for its ambitions.

The best way to sum up Resident Evil Requiem is to say it's a quintessential Resident Evil game. By the end of it, the apprehension around juggling survival horror and over-the-top action couldn't have been further from our minds. We couldn't care less about the semantics of genre labels when the game is this fun and seamlessly cohesive.

If you have the time to spare though, Eufloria is a beautiful and entrancing addition to the iOS library.

While there were a couple of things that didn't quite work for me, the stories that the machine holds, the strong writing, and the novelty of the game itself elevated TR-49 into something that really pulled me in. It's a fascinating puzzle game, and one that I hope doesn't go under the radar.
