This is the month of remasters and console games hitting PC, starting with the delightfully charming Maquette, carrying through to Crash Bandicoot 4 no longer being a timed exclusive, and ending Disco Elysium’s final cut of content. Between all that, we’ve got Tony Hawk landing a 4K kickflip, Tales from the Borderlands on Nintendo Switch, and even Google’s Stadia managed to lock a third-party game down. Not bad!

Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is a fiendishly difficult platformer that carries on Crash’s legacy with aplomb. Though it sometimes feels like it hews a little too closely to the established formula, what it adds makes it more than just a worthwhile sequel. It’ justs a damn good game.

Set S-foils to HYPE position, because we’ve just exited the September system, Green Day’s awake and it’s time to do an attack run on October!

Flashback Tapes are top tier challenges, puzzle rooms that push a pure platforming experience if you’re brave enough to find and play them.

A direct sequel to Crash Bandicoot: Warped, players won’t just be spinning around as John Cena’s fashion inspiration, they’ll also be able to tackle the game as Crash’s sister Coco, Dr Neo Cortex and infamous bruiser Dingodile.
