I’ve spent the best part of this week playing a whole lot of video games. One of those games include Train Sim World 5. Now, this isn’t a game I ever thought I’d be falling into and yet, I find myself intrigued and rather in love with its complexities. I’m gonna compare it to Madden, which is a comparison you’ll probably not see anywhere else. I compare the two purely because in Madden, I know nothing about the sport but the video game is good fun and tactical.

To be completely honest with you, getting deep into Train Sim World 5 wasn’t on my 2025 bucket list. I don’t have an vested interest in trains, nor do I have any real desire to learn how to make a train go forward and stop it at its desired destination. And yet, here I am. The past two weeks, between bouts of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Split Fiction and Atomfall) I’ve been learning all about what exactly a train driver does do and it’s been, well, something.

Two Point Studios are back with Two Point Museum, and in my jellies, I hope they release as many games as James Bond films. The anticipation for Two Point Museum has been high, although I was initially shocked and intrigued at the idea of overhauling museums! Spoiler alert: I actually find museums horrendously boring. I anticipated that I likely would enjoy this, being from the Two Point family, but it would not sit higher than its previous legacy of Hospital or Campus.

Glover is a relic. It’s fair to say that considering its original release was on the N64 in 1998. As an old, old man I very much remember the games original release. I remember reading about it in the fabled N64 Magazine and them being somewhat excited, calling it in previews a ‘Mario 64 killer’. Now, this did not come to pass upon release despite at the time, its mechanics and gameplay feeling somewhat fresh.

Sorry We’re Closed is the debut from the UK-based two-person team, à la mode games. It’s a nostalgic survival horror that I felt drawn to immediately by its neon-soaked aesthetics that contrast with the grimey setting of a London infested by angels and demons. Originally releasing on PC in November of last year, the game is now hitting consoles, which feels like the true home given its inspirations.

Memory Lost is a top-down, twin-stick shooter bursting with Cyberpunk vibes, dystopian atmosphere, fast-paced combat galore and a unique “shifting” mechanic. I mean, there’s next to nothing in that sentence that doesn’t get me jacked up like a chrome infused addict. Possessing enemies, taking on the corporations, killing every NPC you come across? Surely, it’s a certified slam dunk of a game.

Guys, no joke, are we bringing back Care Bears? As someone in their early thirties, even I was on the cusp of missing the fun friendship family of the Care Bears. First established in 1982, I remember having the odd t-shirt and the occasional flash memory of the show. However, if we are making way for a reintroduction into the Care Bears world, sign me up. Especially if we kick off with a new game. Let’s get into it with Care Bears: To The Rescue!So what’s the story in Balmory? The 911? The SOS.

Whilst Final Fantasy VII gets a lot of credit for “making JRPG’s popular”, it’s easy to forget they weren’t exactly shy little indies before that. Dragon Quest and Breath of Fire, to name two, were already established and riding quite high. However, the high fantasy trope was getting formulaic, so something needed to change. Enter Konami then, with Suikoden.

The amplification of urban myths has evolved from spreading around your year in school, thanks to the power of technology. Not to overly date myself, but learning the daring feat of saying ‘bloody mary’ three times in a mirror was more a party trick you’d do at a sleepover or lunch break. Now, however, narratives are collectively moulded en masse, not by someone in the year above you but by thousands of anonymous avatars.
