When we previewed King of Meat about a year ago, it already looked like a chaotic mash-up of creative sparks and a co-op brawler’s raw energy. Now that the full game has arrived – developed by Glowmade and published by Amazon Games – it’s clear that the premise has grown into something both stranger and more ambitious. Played across PlayStation 5 and PC, the game delivers on its promise of co-op creativity and community-driven fun, though not without a few bruises from its own meat grinder of ideas.

Yooka-Replaylee on PlayStation 5 brings the dynamic duo of Yooka and Laylee back for another round of nostalgic 3D platforming, this time in a remastered and expanded edition that feels like a blend of celebration and correction. Developed by Playtonic Games and published by PM Studios, this reimagined version of the 2017 original not only polishes the visuals and mechanics but also meaningfully expands on what made the game appealing to fans of the Banjo-Kazooie era in the first place. The result is a package that feels both familiar and newly ambitious – one that acknowledges the rough edges of the original and smooths them out with confidence.

Few stories evoke the spirit of Christmas like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Headless Chicken Games’ adaptation for Nintendo Switch attempts to bottle that nostalgia into a cheerful 3D platformer. Published by GameMill Entertainment, this family-friendly title takes direct inspiration from the 1964 Rankin/Bass animated classic, transforming familiar settings like Christmastown and the Island of Misfit Toys into explorable playgrounds. On the surface, it’s a wholesome idea – blending classic storytelling with accessible gameplay – but while the game shines with holiday charm, it doesn’t quite manage to light the way as brightly as its red-nosed hero.
