SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide is a tighter, wackier return to form, even if it sometimes pulls its punches and isn’t quite a tidal wave of innovation.

Titan Quest II hasn’t burst into pole position, but it’s polished enough to keep things rolling.

While it may not be as riveting as its turn-based contemporaries, South Park: Snow Day! showcases an enjoyable 3D action battle system built for 4 players online, combined with the iconic comedic writing of Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

At first glance, SpongeBob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake looks like a worthy successor to Battle for Bikini Bottom. The narrative is hilarious, filled with all the typical gags that you would come to expect from the Talking Cheese. In their latest outing, SpongeBob and Patrick must save all their friends from dangerous alternate realities.

Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed Review – CRYPTO STRIKES AGAIN!

Samuel Incze Black Forest games, Game Review, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, THQ Nordic, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S

Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed is absolutely hilarious! The story remains unaltered, delivering every joke in the same way as originally intended. This does mean that, as the game itself will tell you, “the story, words and images contained within may be shocking to the modern human brain!”

Is Biomutant the bees knees of action RPGs? At the very least, it’s certainly worth a shot but don’t expect it to be a masterful experience.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Review – HACK ‘N’ SLASH ADVENTURE GOLD

Anthony Culinas 38 Studios, Big Huge Games, KAIKO GmbH, Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, THQ Nordic, Xbox One

Constructed in a similar vein to Fable, Kingdoms of Amalur still holds up surprisingly well. There’s a lore-rich plot and sizable main quest, heaps of side missions to sink your teeth into (of fluctuating quality), an in-depth character customisation system, craftable items and loot drops that actually reward you for breaking boxes and crates.
