It’s freezing outside. Why brave the elements, when you can stay in your cosy house and treat your senses to these awesome games? Shut the door, pop the kettle on, and settle down with these:
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Survival horror is about to take a massive step in an even creepier direction, thanks to 7’s incredibly immersive “Isolate View” player perspective which sees you thrust straight into the menace and isolation of an abandoned farmhouse in the American south. Powered by the cutting-edge RE engine, horror reaches new heights of photorealism so overwhelming you won’t be able to turn away. Turn off the lights, close the curtains, and prepare yourself for an adrenaline-fuelled weekend.

Doodle God: Ultimate Edition
This time-sucking puzzle game sees you tinker with different elements to create everything from microorganisms and rain, to gunpowder and elephants. Just watch out for the occasional zombie plague (and other equally alarming side effects of messing with creation), and you’ll be fine.

The Sun and Moon
The Sun and Moon, winner of accelerated game development event Ludum Dare 29, is a platformer with a unique mechanic which lets you dive into the ground. Momentum is conserved but gravity is reversed, letting you fling yourself high into the air or deep beneath the surface, chaining together fluid moves to help traverse levels.
