From women's football to monster slaying: the most exciting video games for autumn 2022

Nintendo's brilliantly fun and untouchably cool take on the shooting game involves kids who can transform into squids and octopuses to swim through lakes of paint, splattering the level (and the opposing team) with colour to clinch victory. In the works for many years now, Session aims to be the realistic skateboarding game that skate fans have been missing since EA's Skate series died a death in 2010. Dispensing with the mad tricks and unrealistic airtime of, say, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Session makes even landing a trick into a challenge. This will be the final Fifa-licensed game from EA Sports, the developer who has been making the king of football games for nigh on 30 years, and also the first to feature the women's game at league level, alongside the women's World Cup. Come for one last kickabout, if you can ignore the moral iffiness of the money-grubbing Ultimate Team mode.
