This year's Call of Duty multiplayer is somewhat of a backwards step for the series.
Bugsnax is a puzzle-adventure packed full of charm, mystery and a surprising amount of emotional depth.
All in all, FIFA 21 is a year of small improvements with much to enjoy, but little to shout about.
AWE is an enjoyable few hours back in the world of the Bureau and a great first step into Remedy's Connected Universe.
Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is a puzzle game with unique ideas that takes far too long to fully implement them.
A collection of exciting minigames and a burst of every colour under the rainbow makes Fall Guys a consistent delight.
Overwatch is a masterpiece. A dizzying amalgam of unique characters, stunning style, and compellingly dynamic action.
Predator: Hunting Grounds offers brief moments of blockbuster action, but ultimately underwhelms more than it excites.
A place for unlimited creation, Dreams is a highly ambitious concept, and one that has been magically brought to life.
Observation's novel approach to puzzle design and gripping plot combine to create a unique science-fiction experience.
FIFA 19 is a threadbare experience on the Switch. The inclusion of the Champions League and a significant graphical upgrade goes some way to approaching the levels on presentation found on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC version, but on the pitch it's a mile away from being a premium football simulation and fails to build on last year's game. I can see myself having some fun playing the new House Rules modes locally with friends, but in most single-player modes there is no doubt that it is a repetitive and unfulfilling experience.
FIFA 19 is a definite improvement on last year's effort, despite not all new additions quite hitting the mark.
