Goodnight Universe (PS5) from Nice Dream and published by Skybound Games is a quietly ambitious adventure that balances tender storytelling with inventive gameplay ideas. You step into the crib of Isaac, a six-month-old baby developing psychic abilities, and the game immediately asks you to see the world from his tiny, fragile perspective. While Isaac’s powers hint at playful interactivity, the narrative focus is firmly on the human relationships that shape his early life – the love, the misunderstandings, and the quiet tensions of family.

Of Ash and Steel review (PC)
Of Ash and Steel is a bold, deliberate homage to early-2000s RPGs, crafted by Fire & Frost and published by tinyBuild. At its heart lies the unassuming figure of Tristan, a cartographer stranded on a bleak, ash-choked island. Rather than shepherding players with quest markers or guiding arrows, the game trusts them to listen, read, and orient themselves – a design decision that will delight veterans of Gothic and Risen, but may leave newer players a little disoriented.

Jurassic World Rebirth review (4K)
Jurassic World: Rebirth reinvigorates the dinosaur saga with a mission-driven thriller built around a covert expedition to a remote island. Under Gareth Edwards’ direction, a team led by Scarlett Johansson’s Zora Bennett, Jonathan Bailey’s Dr. Loomis, and Mahershala Ali’s operative is tasked with retrieving live dinosaur DNA for a medically critical project.

The emotional lines between characters are serviceable, but the film rarely surprises, leaning on familiar franchise beats to deliver impressive thrills rather than forging entirely new ground.
