2020 may now be behind us, but for lots of the world 2021 isn't shaping up to look much better. Sure that's a pretty glum outlook to share so early into the year, but with the UK back into full lockdown and many other countries also still suffering from recent world events, the planet is looking just as bleak today as it did six months ago. In light of that, we've collated 10 video games to help try and make things feel just a little less crap, if only for a couple of hours.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "What you are really here for is to know if the Switch 2 port of Subnautica is a vast improvement over the previous Switch version. It certainly is, and if you’re not the owner of a Steam Deck or a beefier ROG Ally, this is, without a doubt, the best portable version of the game ever released. If that is enough for you to either buy it or merely update your older port is up to you, as there isn’t anything novel about it anymore (the Switch port is already half a decade old). Then again, it’s not like you need too many reasons to play one of the best survival games ever made once more anyway, but in a slightly more polished version…"

VR is a medium perfect for adventuring through new lands, so here's some of the best VR Adventure Games available in 2026.
Are a bunch of games, some of which are nearly 10 years old not one being from 2026. Barely one from 2025.
I do like the irony of the closing paragraph though, "Why VR Adventure Games are Thriving". Really buddy?
That’s because it’s his favourite VR adventure games thus far, a great game always a great game regardless of age - Half life 2/ Ocarina of time - are old but still among the greatest games of all time. The irony of it is several are from last year, depending on platform, have you even played VR?
Geezus I feel depressed.
