UFC 6 definitely feels like championship material, though it's a few notches below an all-time great.

Having moved from 2D platformer to top-down adventure game, Yacht Club Games has gone from strength to strength to deliver a game that has completely taken over my spare time, and keeps dragging me back to explore more of The Tenebrous Isle. Make no mistake, Mina The Hollower is no hollow victory, it’s something truly special.

The PS5 version of Gothic 1 Remake is held back by performance woes, but underneath this lies an iconic RPG with deeply immersive gameplay. For new players, it's hard to recommend the PS5 version in its current state, whereas fans who can look past the graphics and 30 FPS limit may find appreciation in this blast from the past.

Applause should be given Traveller's Tales, as they've conjured up the ultimate LEGO Batman game in the series' fourth outing. Retelling the origins of Bruce Wayne as Batman has been well-trodden ground, but witnessing his storied history play out with LEGO's joyful jokiness and whimsy is exceptionally pleasing.

Bond is back and he's in fine form. 007 First Light is an excellent stealth game, and a brilliant James Bond game, offering up the best 007 experience in franchise history.

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar makes efforts to condense the farming sim formula down to something simpler and more manageable. The game map is small, which keeps everything you need just a few seconds away at all times. On the other hand, the game doesn’t allow you to upgrade anything, which forces you to focus on what you have and not what you can build. It may not be for everyone, but Grand Bazaar does make for a nice entry point into this genre.

Bubsy 4D has the makings of a modern classic, helmed by a team that has a clear ambition and design philosophy. It’s issues are more fundamental, and in the fabric of Bubsy himself. I can take self-deprecation, but there comes a point where it stops being funny and becomes borderline pathetic. A mismatched level approach to level design means that both feel weak in spots, and I think you could have done more to bring those together. This is the best Bubsy game, but I can’t say it isn’t without fault.

Glorious stuff – I can’t wait to play the final version of the game, as what I’ve experienced here is quite simply shaping up to be the definitive pirate adventure. [Hands-On Impressions]

A stylish, systems-driven sci-fi action game that blends intense combat, strong traversal mechanics and atmospheric world design into a cohesive whole. Held back slightly by combat readability issues and occasional visual softness, but Luna Abyss still delivers a highly engaging experience overall.

Beethoven & Dinosaur has crafted the finest example of a narrative driven, interactive experience, melding elements from both film and video games as art forms, with a killer soundtrack at its core, Mixtape is a smash hit.
