Grace has been at a loose end since leaving college, a fact that hasn’t escaped the notice of best friend Freddie, a drummer and lyricist who invites her to a band audition. When, hours later, an exasperated Grace sighs, “I wish I knew where I fit”, we know she’s not just talking about her role in the group. Once the others have left, she vocalises her feelings in song, her voice attracting a young woman who joins in, before introducing herself as Calliope. The title’s a clue that there’s a fantastical element to this world, and if you know your Greek mythology, you’ll be aware that this stranger is the last of the Muses. As the two harmonise, it seems she’s here to help Grace find her voice.

Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles
Anyone familiar with the concept of kitbashing is already halfway to understanding what Tomas Sala’s open-world builder is all about.
Children Of The Sun
René Rother’s acrid revenge thriller – an action game with its limbs broken and forcibly rearranged into the shape of a spatial puzzler – is at once a bonafide original and an unlikely throwback. Cast your eyes right and you wouldn’t blink if we told you this was a forgotten Grasshopper Manufacture game from the early PS3 era (we won’t be at all surprised if this finds a spot on Suda51’s end-of-year list).

The pawn and the pandemic
Dragon's Dogma 2
The road from Vernworth to Bakbattahl is scenic but arduous. Ignore the dawdling mobs of goblins, and duck beneath the chanting harpies that circle on the currents overhead, and even moving at a hurried clip it is impossible for a party of four to complete the journey by nightfall.
