Get out of the sun and into these hot releases I

-

THINK it’s fair to say the weather has been absolutely scorching.

And as we enter the new month of July, there’s no sign of the heatwave ending.

This month also sees the release of some new games – a few of which may even tempt you in from the garden.

There’s a slew of PS4 budget releases with the new PlayStatio­n Hits series, Hello Neighbour makes its debut on the Switch and there’s a Lego Incredible­s game – just in time for the new movie’s release. I HAVE to say admit I’m more excited than I should be about the sequel to Pixar’s smash The Incredible­s, which hits cinemas next weekend. And, as if that wasn’t enough, there’s a new Lego game to go with it.

This title takes you on a journey through the events of both The Incredible­s films, but in a twist, starts the action with the second film. Look out for Pixar Easter Eggs and references as you play your way through the weird and wonderful world of The Parr family.

If you’re planning on playing the game before watching the film – be warned, it’s spoiler heavy. with people you encounter.

The warrior can “challenge” people to a duel, whereas the dancer can “allure” others to follow her.

Combat revolves around a Boost system, a fusion of traditiona­l turn-based battling and modern enhancemen­ts.

Each turn, you build up BP that can be spent to dramatical­ly increase your strength or provide aid. Identifyin­g when to Boost may just be the key to victory.

The new demo lets you play the first three hours of the game a few weeks early – trust me, you’ll struggle to put it down. SOME stellar PS titles get a budget make-over this month, each costing just £15.99.

Among the myriad titles is Uncharted 4, Doom, Bloodborne, Batman Arkham Knight, and Watch_Dogs.

It’s been a while since I saw a budget range this good – and all titles will be available both digitally through the PlayStatio­n Store, or as a physical disc.

This is a great opportunit­y to catch up on any of the games you may have missed, at prices that won’t break the bank. CRASH BANDICOOT N.SANE TRILOGY THE CREW 2 FIFA 18 MARIO TENNIS ACES FAR CRY 5 MARIO KART 8 DELUXE GRAND THEFT AUTO V GOD OF WAR FALLOUT 4 STAR WARS BATTLEFRON­T II HELLO Neighbor has proven a sleeper hit – with the characters even being immortalis­ed as Funko Pops.

The object of the game is simple. Sneak into your neighbour’s house, and uncover clues to solve the ‘horrible secret’ that’s lurking in the basement. Sounds easy, right?

Except the game’s AI modifies the neighbour’s actions based on your gameplay, meaning you have to alter your tactics every time you venture over the road, or end up as a bump in the turf.

This game got a release at Christmas for Xbox and PC players, but now PS4 and Switch owners can pit their collective wits against the sinister man with the shovel.
