Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is a hugely entertaining experience with a gorgeous atmospheric world, but it just doesn't quite feel enough like Metroid.

Playing with mouse control on the Switch 2 is so much more comfortable with the Imp Tech LED mouse adapters, and they're stylish too.

The Snakebyte Gamepad Pro S2 is great quality controller that's let down by some significant connectivity and input lag issues which unfortunately make it hard to recommend. lootlevelchill.com/reviews/snak...

While maybe not as spectacular as the main story, Pokémon Legends: Z-A Mega Dimensions adds loads of content and Pokémon to the game.

As a potential party piece or just something to do instead of the usual evening of AAA gaming, the G’aim’e Light Gun is a cool device. lootlevelchill.com/reviews/gaim...

Dunjungle is a fun and familiar Roguelike with smooth combat, plenty of punishment, and loads of content for those who want to play forever. lootlevelchill.com/reviews/dunj...

There's not a whole lot wrong with Storm Lancers, but it really struggles to hang with its peers thanks to a lack of randomness and just okay combat. lootlevelchill.com/reviews/stor...

The Department interview: “we literally wouldn’t be where we are now without Wales’ support” lootlevelchill.com/features/the...

Skate Story is a fantastic entry into the skating genre, not only by virtue of being unlike anything else we’ve seen before, but also because mechanically it’s just a very good skateboarding game. lootlevelchill.com/reviews/skat...

Everything is Crab preview: A hugely compelling experience

Octopath Traveller 0 can't quite live up to the peaks of the previous two games, but is a fantastic RPG in its own right. lootlevelchill.com/news/octopat...

Marvel Cosmic Invasion offers loads of variety in its stages and playable heroes, and is another stellar entry into the beat 'em up genre. lootlevelchill.com/reviews/marv...

Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Switch 2 is an impressive port, and a very smooth handheld experience. It's a great way to play the game whether you're a first-timer or just looking for a portable replay. lootlevelchill.com/reviews/assa...

A Pizza Delivery is a great concept that needed much longer in the oven. As it stands the game is half-baked, full of bugs and doesn't hit the emotional notes it's aiming for.

The Mini Arcade Pro turns your Switch or Switch 2 into an adorable tabletop arcade cabinet, and makes playing the classics even better. lootlevelchill.com/reviews/imp-...

Once again, as a package, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 provides plenty of throwaway fun and multilayer mayhem. lootlevelchill.com/reviews/call...

Kirby Air Riders shakes up the kart racing genre in a massively refreshing way, and has a ridiculous amount of content to explore.

If you really don’t like spiders and all you want to do is squish them in a variety of silly ways in some bizarre locations, you could do a lot worse than Kill it with Fire 2.

R-Type Delta: HD Boosted may be a fairly bare bones remaster, but this shmup is still a blast in 2025 regardless.

Monsters are Coming! Rock and Road is your next new Survivors obsession, with a clever tower defence twist and that “just one more run" hook.

The Berlin Apartment tells some wonderful little stories that’ll make you feel emotions from both ends of the spectrum, and it gives a heartfelt glimpse into life in Berlin at key moments in its history.

Although it never really does anything we haven’t seen before, Constance is well-made enough to be worthy of your time, and does enough to earn its place in a crowded genre. lootlevelchill.com/reviews/cons...

While not quite the replacement for The Binding of Isaac I wanted, Morsels has a lot of depth and plenty of challenge for those seeking it. lootlevelchill.com/reviews/mors...

Extra extra - News Tower is an entertaining tycoon game that puts you in charge of a newspaper, and it's a whole lot of fun.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault early access review: a massive improvement on the original

Stalker 2: Heart of Chernobyl is a big game. The world is not only huge but stuffed to the gills with things to find and places to explore. Full review: lootlevelchill.com/reviews/stal...

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is an amazing Musou game, and one of the best Switch 2 games available currently. Full review:

Satisfactory is a superb example of the factory sim, delivering a deep, comprehensive experience where it really feels like the devs have thought of everything. Full console review:

A twisting, turning tale told over a repeating 47-minute timeloop, Rue Valley unfortunately crumbles under the weight of its narrative ambition. Full review: lootlevelchill.com/reviews/rue-...

With smart, witty writing delivered by top tier talent, Dispatch tells a gripping story that will have you laughing out loud and gawping at the consequences of your decisions in equal measure. lootlevelchill.com/reviews/disp...

Forestrike is a fantastic martial arts Roguelike that rewards reflexes, with the incredibly clever ability to practice each fight before committing.

The Seance of Blake Manor is an essential game for fans of detective games, making complex investigation gameplay feel accessible for all with comprehensive mindmaps and timetables so you can plan your sleuthing hour-by-hour.

Million Depth is a Roguelike that plays by none of the rules, and it does so while telling an engaging story and featuring seriously clever combat.

Possessor(s) lacks the unique pizazz of some recent Metroidvanias, but delivers a solid adventure in its own right. Full review:

Lumines Arise takes a block building classic, adds a splash of psychedelic firework paint and an absolute banger of a soundtrack, leaving us with a game destined to become an all-timer. Full review: lootlevelchill.com/reviews/lumi...

Arc Raiders will continue to grow with new content and updates, but this is a competent and complete experience at launch. Full review: lootlevelchill.com/reviews/arc-...

Dragon Front Adventures is a seriously engaging Roguelike deck builder, with clever combat and enough content to keep you happy for years. Full review:
