Inventing a new sport in this day and age is a great challenge, but the developers behind Laser League were not at all daunted by it, ultimately creating a fast-paced futuristic spectacle focused on capturing nodes and avoiding laser beams. We as a society may not quite be ready for a sport like this, but it's undeniable that its digital representation is a lot of fun.

Once you come to terms with that fact it has nothing to do with a certain office supplies company, you'll see The Office Quest as a neat, if somewhat short, point-and-click adventure with unique visuals and some nice puzzles.

It can be tricky to interest people in a prequel to a story they already know the ending of, but Life is Strange: Before the Storm manages to do just that, even despite the added challenge of not having any supernatural elements to fall back on.

A reimagining of a true, if somewhat underappreciated, classic for the PS4, the latest iteration of Shadow of the Colossus is just as hauntingly beautiful as it's always been. Perhaps even more so thanks to the new graphics built from the ground up for the new generation of consoles, plus all the new collectibles you can discover across the world.

An enjoyable and fairly challenging hack 'n' slash adventure, Exiled Kingdoms can be frustrating at times, but is overall a worthwhile time investment for anyone with more than a few evenings earmarked for dungeon clearing.

A supposedly horror point-and-click adventure, Without Escape may be sorely lacking in the horror department, but at least its point-and-click parts are solid and not overly convoluted.

Infused with fruit puns just as much as it is with vitamins, Juicy Realm is a top-down action roguelike with a neat theme, cool presentation and, unfortunately, somewhat sluggish controls.

The third piece of downloadable content for Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, The Deeds of Captain Wilkins tells a standalone story of the eponymous hero in three volumes while giving us plenty of that Wolfenstein gameplay we know and love.

Reminiscent of the old Metroid games for handheld systems, A Robot Named Fight borrows that classic style of gameplay but infuses it with the added excitement of permadeath and roguelike elements, resulting in an immensely replayable and overall fun experience.

A management sim about building spaceships, fulfilling contracts, and taking care of the bottom line, Starship Corporation takes the final frontier and makes it relatable with the help of handy graphs and pie charts. If you like both space and business, this is the game for you.
