Nintendo's new all-ages fighter won't sell millions of Switches, but it does provide another novel experience for the system's early adopters

Tequila Works' poetic adventure delivers addictive exploration, gratifying puzzles, and a heart-wrenching tale that hits like a ton of bricks

A fantastic story mode, accessible controls, and a subtle RPG vibe has left our reviewer surprisingly enamoured of NetherRealms' sequel
I'm already looking forward to replaying the scores of missions I'd already completed, this time with an aim to doing things a little differently and maybe saving some lives. And if my eager anticipation to replay a big chunk of a game I just played isn't a recommendation, I'm not sure what is.

I doubt Continuum will go down as one of Call of Duty's best DLC packs.

And for a casual Call of Duty player like me, that's enough to make it worthwhile.
Sumo Digital's innovative 3D platformer successfully captures authentic snake physics, and in doing so makes us love our limbs all the more
The nostalgia is real in this Kickstarter success story from a group of ex-Rare staffers. But so is the clunky camera and repetitious backtracking
The first Canadian-made game for Switch – a simple, colourful space shooter – delivers a bit of bite-sized bliss
The Italian plumber's new sports adventure is perfectly functional, but also free of imaginative spark (and reasons to keep playing)
