ROUTINE is a wonderful addition to the survival-horror genre, debuting on Xbox Game Pass with a meticulously realized retro-futuristic world set on the moon. ROUTINE's gameplay can feel clunky and your objectives can feel nebulous, but Lunar Software has absolutely nailed the art direction, audio design, and horrifying atmosphere. £13.99 at Loaded £16.06 at Green Man Gaming £16.16 at Fanatical £25.33 at G2A UK

Beneath is far from perfect. It’s janky, unoriginal, and technically uneven, but also brave, atmospheric, and built with love.
Pros
- 90s horror done with heart
- Surprisingly solid story
Cons
- Technically choppy
- AI is brain-dead
cronos the new dawn review an unabashed mash up of survival horror great...
Cronos: The New Dawn is an unabashed mash-up of survival horror's greatest hits, from Dead Space to Silent Hill, and its references make it a thrillingly familiar experience for fans of the horror genre. The only problem – which is, at times, significant – is a frustrating inventory system that can make combat feel more irritating than tense. Still, this is an atmospheric and uniquely introspective adventure for those who value a game's story as much as its action. £31.49 at Loaded (Formerly CDKeys) £49.99 at very.co.uk Check Amazon
Pros
- Striking visuals
- Merging monsters feels unique
- Haunting upgrades create an interesting texture
Cons
- Limited upgrades
- Overly restrictive inventory system
- Enemies require more resources than you have access to
