Rhythm Doctor review

Rhythm Doctor, developed and published by 7th Beat Games, is set to launch on December 6, 2025, priced at £17. The game features a unique rhythm gaming approach using only the spacebar for gameplay, challenging players' musical timing while presenting emotional narratives across six acts. Players assume the role of a mute intern at Middlesea Hospital, where they use a long noodle arm to care for patients by synchronizing taps with their heartbeats. The game includes relatable characters facing real-life challenges, humorous interactions, and engaging tutorials led by a character named Hugh. It features a variety of rhythms and beats, including seventh beats and swing rhythms, and integrates audio cues into the music. The soundtrack ranges from lo-fi beats to energetic guitar tracks, enhancing the storytelling. The visual style is playful and experimental, with dynamic animations and attention to detail in various scenes.

Minecraft has continued to thrive for 15 years, with Mojang Studios sharing a retrospective of 2025 that includes impressive community statistics. Players logging into the Minecraft: Bedrock Edition dressing room can receive a free Inflatable Chicken Suit Character Creator item. The introduction of the copper golem mob resulted in nearly a billion of these creatures spawning, while over 270 million mounts were tamed, with players collectively traversing 335 billion blocks. However, saddles were crafted only 16 million times. Mojang hosted two Minecraft Live events in 2025, the first in March, which revealed the year's first three updates and announced a forthcoming Minecraft movie set for a sequel in 2027. The Spring to Life update enhanced Overworld diversity and quality-of-life improvements, followed by the Vibrant Visuals update for graphics upgrades and the Chase the Skies update for new ghostly mounts. The September event introduced The Copper Age update, and the year ended with the Mounts of Mayhem update, which added new mobs and a new weapon. Mojang also announced a collaboration with King to develop Minecraft Blast, a new mobile game. Changes for 2026 include the removal of code obfuscation for modders and a shift in version numbering.
