This week’s look at recent DLC drops highlights how varied expansions can reshape familiar experiences, with each add-on pushing its parent game in a distinct direction. From Company of Heroes 3’s Endure & Defy deepening tactical skirmishes through its new Battlegroups, to Two Point Museum’s Zooseum weaving wildlife care into the series’ offbeat management loop, and Bannerlord’s War Sails opening the seas to full naval warfare, the range on display shows how much mileage developers can still find in established foundations.

Men in Black: Most Wanted review (Quest)
From the moment you wake up as Agent I, with your memories erased and a neuralyzer in hand Men in Black: Most Wanted lands its premise with purpose: you step into the suit and sunglasses of an MIB agent, rediscovering your identity while being thrown into an alien conspiracy. For longtime fans of the franchise, that opening pays off: there are enough nods to tone and lore to stoke nostalgia without over-relying on cameo appearances.

Blood: Refreshed Supply review (PS5)
From the moment you rise from your grave, clutching a rusty pitchfork, it’s clear that Refreshed Supply hasn’t lost a drop of the original’s savage charm – and in many ways, it’s sharper, meaner, and more polished than ever. You play Caleb, once a high-ranking Cabal commander betrayed by his demonic master, now resurrected to carve a path of vengeance through cultists, zombies, gargoyles and hell-hounds. The revenge-driven premise may be straightforward – but developers Nightdive Studios lean into that pulp-horror / occult-gunslinger vibe with gleeful, gory abandon, and it works.

Bubble Bobble: Sugar Dungeons review (PS5)
From the outset, Bubble Bobble: Sugar Dungeons feels like it’s trying to reinvent the wheel – offering a “new Bubble Bobble experience” that blends the old bubble-trapping platforming with roguelike progression and dungeon-crawling ambition. The concept alone is a bold move for a franchise known for arcade simplicity: procedurally changing dungeons, treasure gathering, upgrades, and sprawling castle labyrinths instead of traditional single-screen action. On paper, that’s the kind of shake-up that could either breathe new life into the series – or strain it until it breaks. Continue reading “Bubble Bobble: Sugar Dungeons review (PS5)”
OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0 review (PS5)
When you boot up Octopath Traveler 0, it quickly becomes clear that this is not just another numbered sequel – it’s a reimagining of the series’ formula, channelling nostalgia while boldly changing its structure. Rather than starting with eight preset heroes, you create your own protagonist, customizing appearance, voice, gestures and even a favorite dish, before being thrust into a quest of revenge and reconstruction after your hometown, Wishvale, is razed. The impetus to rebuild – recruiting over 30 potential companions, restoring the ruins of a once-peaceful settlement, crafting a new community – lends the story a surprisingly personal and grounded emotional core, transforming what could have been a wanderer’s tale into a journey of purpose and identity.
