Alex Donaldson's Reviews
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is more or less everything I'd hoped for as a fighting game nerd, but more casual players might find themselves wanting more.
Metroid 2 is a personal favourite of mine, and this remake does it justice and some.
XCOM, you got me yet again.
They actually did it. They nailed it. Sonic is back.
The Switch really is the perfect console for the odd bit of retro game action.
Nintendo doesn't do simple, straightforward sequels all that often, but this time it has.
Final Fantasy 12 is an acquired taste, but it's amazing because it's different.
Nintendo made a fighting game with a slickness that only Nintendo can manage.
The king of 3D fighters makes a triumphant return.
A definitive version of a classic, though its new content leaves much to be desired.
More Fire Emblem you say? I won't argue.
Come prepared to learn and Endless Space 2 will impress, then sink its claws deep.
Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition has the potential to be a devious time-devourer, as I'm learning the hard way.
Stylish, fun, and utterly relentless in its vision, Persona 5 delivers one of the best Japanese RPG experiences in years.
The most special Nintendo game in years, Breath of the Wild is an incredibly polished mixture of myriad ideas we've seen before - but never in a package quite like this.
This collection gathers together a good game, an exciting demo and a movie that's strictly for hardcore fans. It's a decent package, but certainly isn't for newcomers.
Bold and brave, Final Fantasy XV brings back some of what made FF special to begin with. It's rough around the edges, but that's okay: where it counts, it's got heart.
Vibrant, energetic and fun in the best possible way, this is the best Pokemon game in quite a while.
A slightly weak narrative can't obscure how compelling and exciting Mankind Divided's is to play. Here, the best stories are those you make yourself through emergent gameplay.
This strategy RPG sequel is simple and accessible, but will satisfy hardcore RPG fans less than the other Fire Emblem Fates releases.
