image source : Sony.com A small improvement over the RX100 IV, but this Sony is close to premium point-and-shoot perfection. We wouldn’trecommend buying this camera if you already own the old IV model, but a few improvements have ensured Sony remains the top dog in our compacts list–andwe’re keeping this model above the newRX100VI simply because ofthe price difference. Itremains one ofthe finest point-and-shootswe’ve ever seen,with a flexibility thatfewpocket cameras can muster. While it’s still not exactly cheap,we reckon this is the cam to buy if you want fantastic-looking snaps from your holidays. Buy Now

While previous instalments saw your human character moving into a smalltown already occupied by eccentric beasts,the firstfew days herewill be spentliving out of a tent, asNook cheerfully asks you to create a paradisewith little more than a handful oftwigs. Luckily, laying the foundations for a functioning economy isn’t difficult. Forage for materials, catch a few bugs, do some fishing, and soon you’ll have a proper home, a shop, even a museum. From then on, it’s up to you. There’s always a loose objective to pursue, butNew Horizons is a lifelike slowburn. Shops have normal opening hours, and ifNook says the bridge
