Rob Lake reviews Glyph on Nintendo Switch... Originality is the name of the game when it comes to Glyph , and this charming 3-D puzzler has heaps of it. From the inhabitants of the world to it's the perfect blend of puzzles and platforming, Glyph is a game that every Switch owner needs to experience and explore. Developed by Bolverk Games, Glyph tells the story of a world besieged by a vast desert and a rogue A.I. You play the role of Glyph, a charming robot who's purpose is to restore an ancient temple which lies in the heart of the desert which also serves as the game's central hub. While the task sounds simple, our scarab beetle robot will have to navigate this vast landscape using precision and speed to collect the items necessary to restore the city.

It feels a little surreal to be talking about Resident Evil 3: Nemesis in 2025. Yet thanks to the titles imminent release as part of the PlayStation Plus Classics offering, here we are. Originally released in 1999 for the PlayStation, this third entry in Capcom’s survival horror juggernaut is now making its way onto the PlayStation Plus Classics Collection, giving players old and new a chance to dive into one of the most memorable chapters in the Resident Evil franchise. For some, Resident Evil 3 was “the other” sequel, not quite as celebrated as Resident Evil 2, which had wowed gamers a year earlier with its ambitious dual campaigns and cinematic flair. But for those who stuck with Jill Valentine as she fought her way through a city in chaos, Resident Evil 3 delivered something equally special: a faster-paced, more relentless take on survival horror, with one of gaming’s most iconic villains stalking your every step. In 2025, with modern Resident Evil titles pushing i...
