The beloved Cat Quest series is almost a decade old, and it’s no wonder fans can’t get enough of this action-packed RPG featuring our favourite feline heroes. Beautiful visuals, fast-paced combat, and a dash of humour make each game a hit. The open world is packed with side quests and secrets, making it a joy for players of all ages, whether you’re up for a quick game or a lengthy adventure.

Now, Cat Quest 3: Pirates of the Purribean puts players in the boots of a swashbuckling “purrivateer,” ready to set off on an open-world adventure across the game’s titular archipelago. Your quest?

Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is widely considered one of the finest follow-up entries in the Double Dragon Gaiden Series. While maintaining its roots, the game introduces a captivating roguelike twist, making it a thrilling experience for players. This instalment takes place before the events of the first game and serves as a spin-off of the Double Dragon franchise.
Unlike its predecessors, Rise of the Dragons allows up to two players to select two characters each, forming a powerful tag team. The game features a total of 12 unlockable characters, with four initially unlocked – series protagonists Billy and Jimmy Lee, their friend and love interest Marian, and the new character, Uncle Matin.
Set in a post-apocalyptic New York City controlled by four formidable gangs in 199X, the plot revolves around the mayor enlisting Billy and Jimmy to sequentially defeat these gangs. With both 2-player online and local co-op modes, the action intensifies as you and your friend venture through the city’s mean streets, providing an adrenaline-pumping experience.
In our review, we awarded the game a stellar 90/100 score, stating, “Leave it to 6 years of introspection and hard work from a small team who love beat-em-ups and the franchise’s legacy to create the best Double Dragon entry since WayForward’s starry entry.” Whether you have a soft spot for 2D beat ’em ups or retro action games, Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is an absolute must-play!

The appeal of RPGs lies in their immersive lore and rich narrative, and Masquerada: Songs and Shadows delivers just that. The game introduces players to a world brimming with factions, locations, characters, and concepts, all accompanied by voice acting. The extensive codex further enriches the experience with a wealth of background information, showcasing the developers’ dedication to crafting a Renaissance-inspired city of magic.
Drawing inspiration from renowned titles such as Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and Dragon Age, the real-time combat system in Masquerada: Songs and Shadows allows players to momentarily stop time to issue commands to their party members. The roles of each of the three active characters in battles are determined by the player’s choices, while the game’s remarkable visuals and sound design further elevate the experience.
However, the game falls short in providing players with the freedom to grind for experience points, engage in random battles, or pursue side quests, making it less appealing to those who enjoy these aspects. Despite this limitation, Masquerada: Songs and Shadows stands out as a real-time with pause strategy RPG, offering unique perspectives that enrich the genre.
