In the absence of an F1 26 game this year, this DLC adds the new cars and track in what is an essential expansion for Formula One fans – even if it does have its limitations.

Dialoop’s roguelite structure and unorthodox take on match-three puzzling make it a pleasingly original oddity, even if it lacks the depth and refinement of some other deck builders.

An authentic and complex medieval life simulator that emphasises teamwork and management over individual achievement, and while it’s a slow burn the complexity of options more than makes up for a lack of polish.

A Hades inspired action roguelite with a similar isometric view, pacy combat, and Chinese ink brush visuals, whose addictive action makes up for a lacklustre storyline.

A gently paced open world survival game set amongst blue skies and floating islands, that comes with plenty to do but unusually few pressures on your time.

It may not be the sort of game you’d play for hours at a time, but it’s ideal for a swift, invigorating break in your day.

Your AI adversary occasionally makes confusingly foolish mistakes in early rounds, but that doesn’t diminish the significant challenge, in this highly polished and mentally taxing game that feels as though it was made for touchscreen.

There’s a pleasing quality to its physics, with marbles flying and rolling consistently with the way they’re hit, and while it may not demand all that much creativity on your part it looks nice and does provide an increasing test of dexterity and timing. There’s even an enjoyably OTT plot that incorporates your marble flinging antics.

Overall, while the fundamental bones are exactly the same as Lylat Wars, we came away from Star Fox more excited to jump back in thanks to the transformative facelift of its presentation. It remains to be seen if a new generation of players, who might have different expectations based on the trailers, will latch onto the rail shooter gameplay in quite the same way, but for longtime fans, swooping through space in the Arwing has never looked or played this good.

Subnautica 2 is already enormously compelling and along with the steady progress unlocking new technology and the increasing ease with which you can survive in its ocean, provides ample motivation to continue exploring. In terms of plot, setting, and gameplay loop, this may not be exactly – if you will excuse the pun – a sea change, but it remains a promising return for one of gaming’s most captivating and unusual open world survival games.
