Regular updates including new Raid Bosses and Spotlight Hour events has kept Pokémon Go relevant and a great game for getting out and about and discovering your local area.
Among Us
This free-to-play online whodunnit offers players a modern take on the whodunnit genre. Set on a spaceship awaiting departure, players must beware of the imposter, (unless it’s them of course!) who runs around the ship murdering the crew.
The imposter wins if he succeeds in not being outed, while the rest of the crew must work together to unmask them before it’s too late. With online multiplayer gameplay, it’s a brilliant, easy to pick up game that’s perfect for playing with friends and family.
