Dreams - A release that has revolutionized gaming since its debut in 2019. If you've always played a game and wished you could enter that desolate landscape in the background or make your character look or behave a certain way (let's be honest, who hasn't?) Dreams has the ability to do just that. Let mini games inspire you, and then design and create your own games. Learn to animate and make music and share ideas in the online community.

Life is Strange - An adventure game that unfolds like one of Netflix's greatest shows (it was first released in five episodes, adding to the 'TV series' feel). Players follow 18-year-old Max, who finds she has the ability to rewind time. Highly emotive, a clever script and haunting soundtrack that stays with you, Life is Strange lets the gamer control the outcome, solving puzzles, raising questions about ethics and moral choices along the way.

FIFA 20 https://www.ea.com/games/fifa/fifa-20 - A top fixture on the annual gaming calendar (even more so thanks to the hiatus of football due to coronavirus) FIFA 20 lets players complete a league and cup competitions in stunning, realistic looking style. Tactics play a big part, just like in the real game, and gamers makes managerial decisions and face setbacks by way of injury and financial crisis, just like in real life. Playing online with friends also means you can socialise - virtually at least!
