Coming soon to PC Game Pass:

OurMonster Hunter Rise PC reviewin January called it “a more than worthy successor toMonster Hunter: World”. As for the Lego, Ed’sLego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga reviewsaid it was “undeniably fun, but wildly inconsistent and with far too much padding from collectibles.” A bit ofStar Trekmight entertain the kids over Christmas, mind, and god knows loads of padding could keep them out your hair.
