STILL PLAYING

-

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales PS5 After a bug forces a factory reset of our PS5, we anxiously return to Manhattan’s streets to check whether our hard-earned progress has been wiped. Thank heavens for cloud saves. With no little relief, we discover that we still only have a bit of mopping up to do, and so we set to it – while being reminded of perhaps the most purely pleasurabl­e traversal mechanics this side of the mighty Super Mario Odyssey.

Ring Fit Adventure Switch Well, it’s high time we shifted some of this lockdown weight, after all. Revisiting Nintendo’s fitness game is a chastening experience at first (how on Earth did we get through that many squats last year?) but that soon turns to admiration of its design and structure. This isn’t just the biggestsel­ling new JRPG in recent years, but one of the best in its genre, full stop.

Bugsnax PS4, PS5 Colourful and cutely creepy, Snaktooth Island is as close as we’re likely to get to the tropics for a while. And while it’s not what you’d call a banquet of a game, at least a few hours chomping away on Bungers, Crapples and the like won’t force us to spend any more time on Ring Fit Adventure.
