If you’re looking for a fun, frivolous-yet-high-stakes couch or online co-op game, round up your favourite fools and give Ship of Fools a go.
Agents of Mayhem wears the right outfit but doesn't go far beyond posing in the mirror.
An undersea adventure that is more about seeing the sights than captivating gameplay.
Fat Princess Adventures is colourful and endearing at first, but the proof is in the gameplay pudding. Unsatisfying, flimsy combat and class-specific loot drops make extended play a real grind. Pity.
The core gameplay of Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash is enjoyable, but disappointing side modes, online restrictions and gimmicky power-ups make this return go a little wide of the mark.

The new Miracle Cures add welcome new flourishes to the classic puzzle gameplay, and the sheer wealth of content on offer makes this a bargain. Even once you've ignored the awful Luigi bits.
Simple, strategic combat and an assortment of unique bosses make for intense bursts of gameplay that will keep you coming back for 'just one more go'. And another. And then one more.
