I can’t remember a more anticipated title release with less marketing than Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice from 2017 was an award winning hit. So it can as no surprise we have a sequel, but to have such a low key release is just downright strange.
Maybe with it releasing Day 1 onto Game Pass was the reason?

Tactical Turn-Based games like Classified: France ’44 Back were all the rage back in the day. With the likes of XCOM, Jagged Alliance, and Battle Tech leading the pack for me, I loved them.
Thankfully Classified: France ‘44, from Team17, keeps the ball rolling with a great interpretation of the classic WWII Turn-Based Tactical game.

It’s fair to say that the Prince of Persia series – first introduced to the world by game designer Jordan Mechner in 1989 – is perhaps one of my favourite series.
The Lost Crown has gone back to its roots (visually, at least).

I remember when the first Avatar movie came out. It was mind blowing. Well, the visuals were anyway.
And, although there has been previous Avatar base games, what we all want is that same level of visual fidelity that is portrayed in the movies. Thankfully with the release of Avatar – Frontiers of Pandora, that is something we do get.

Wartales is an open-world, tactical turn-based RPG and it surprised me out of the gate. It’s a subtle mix of Banner Saga, Baulders Gate and even some Skyrimesque freedom too.
Not what I expected from a game I had never heard of.

I enjoy the Forza Horizon games for a time, but the arcady action soon looses its sheen and I find myself yearning for a proper driving simulator experience.
So, I was chomping at the bit to get my hands on Forza Motorsport this month, and boy…..it did not disappoint!

So apparently Assassins Creed has been around for 15 years now. And after the huge outings involved in Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, Assassins Creed Mirage is a step back in size, and in some ways, in time.
Set in Baghdad during the ninth century is indeed a step back in time but more importantly Assassins Creed Mirage is a journey back to the gameplay roots of earlier games in the franchise.

Here’s the latest trailer for Everspace 2, the game hits the street on consoles this week and if you haven’t read our PC or PS5 reviews yet, give them a go.
Fair to say both Gerard and Barrie had a great time with the game, especially as a warm up to incoming 2023 sci-fi titles.

No the title isn’t a typo. Tusock is now on PS5. And loving all the PlayStation exclusives I have never played.
Anywho, Everspace 2 is the reason we are here.

Set 20 years after the Aliens 3 movie, Dark Descent focusses on Tantalus Base, where a Xenomorph outbreak has occurred.
I controlled a squad of Marines, akin to “The Commander” in XCOM from the crashed command ship, The Otago.
It has some loose similarities to XCOM, except its combat which is a Real-Time Strategy game, not turn based.
It is however a Newt free zone.
