RIPPLE EFFECT At the end of Season 1, Percy enrolled at a school in New York so he could live with his mother, Sally, and return to Camp Half-Blood the next summer. Annabeth reached out to her father to try and live a normal life, after five years at Camp.

This batty game takes in the brooding bat’s career, with iconic moments, epic villains, locations, and more costumes than anything else that’s come before. It looks like a huge step up for LEGO games too, with a moody open-world Gotham City and awesome abilities. It wouldn’t be a Batman game without grappling from the ground to the top of a tower. You’ll also be launching into a glide over Gotham, or clicking into the cockpit of a classic Batmobile. The collection of vehicles are all built by the Master Builder Batman, naturally! It wouldn’t be a Caped Crusader game without lurking in the shadows either, or swooping down on a gang of thugs to ‘POW’, ‘WHACK’, and ‘BAM’. The Bat will face off against famous foes like The Joker, Bane,…

▶ PLUMBER PARKOUR It sounds so obvious, but you should make an effort to master Mario’s moves. The long jumps, triple jumps, side somersaults, and backflips are super useful. Using a spin attack in the air is a great way to get extra height or adjust a jump. Spin attacks can be paired up with just about every other move in Mario’s arsenal, so get spinning! ▶ THE SPACE RACE The cosmic races are totally tricky challenges, pitting Mario against an inky blue, starstruck version of himself. The speedy challenges require pin-point platforming and very advanced techniques. Get a speed boost out of the the gate by holding down forward at the start of the countdown, then pressing and holding ‘Z’ as it reaches ‘2’, then hit ‘A’ at ‘GO!’…

Big Walk is about walking and talking with your friends while you’re out and about exploring an open world (that looks a lot like the Aussie bush). In this game, you all have to stick together. If you’re close to each other, you can chat easily. If you’re far away, you won’t be able to hear each other. Whenever someone is out of earshot, they might need to write a message and hold it up for you to read through a pair of handy binoculars. If a party member actually gets lost, you might even need to shoot a flare into the sky to help ‘em find you! As you explore the area, you will come across challenges that have to be completed together as a team. You might need…

Playing Sword of the Sea, you’re in a parched desert full of waves of sand, and you explore by surfing on your hoversword – yes, hoversword! It’s fantastic fun cruising around, catching air off crests and even grinding along the backbone of a gigantic dinosaur skeleton. Basically a Jurassic skatepark! The best part is the way that you can also transform the world around you! If you spot any glowing gaps in the ground, you can plunge your sword into the space, calling forth the sea and bringing back a lost ecosystem! Schools of fish suddenly swim in the air, kelp forests grow, and swarms of giant jellyfish blob about waiting to let you bounce off their backs. It’s a pretty magical sight, and layering lush sealife atop the terrain…
