While it is in dire need of some balancing, there's magic in Vermintide 2's frenetic combat. It's a real co-op treat that simply has to be played.

While TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge accurately captures the sense of speed as you barrel down the country lanes of the iconic circuit, its twitchy handling undoes the experience entirely.

7.5 / 10.0 - H1Z1: Battle Royale
Mar 13, 2018

H1Z1 may well have been inspired by the original version of PUBG, and it shows, but in Auto Royale it provides one of the most fun battle royale modes out there.

9.5 / 10.0 - Into The Breach
Mar 9, 2018

One of the best strategy games on the market, bringing a unique sense of fun to the genre. A must-play title.

8 / 10.0 - Gravel
Mar 1, 2018

Despite one or two cruel difficulty spikes, Gravel is one of the better examples of off-road racing in a while. Its mix of semi-realism and over-the-top arcade style makes for some exciting races, while its progression system keeps it accessible to almost anyone.

Just like Rogue Trooper Redux and the recent Age of Empires remaster, the focus has been almost entirely on upgrading visuals instead of the gameplay. As a result, Battlezone: Combat Commander still feels like a game released nearly 20 years ago.

6 / 10.0 - Dandara
Feb 23, 2018

Dandara has some interesting ideas and great visual design, but it rarely feels rewarding. It drags in the middle and the final third just frustrates, sucking the fun out of the experience.

While Age of Empires was once the best game of its kind, the Definitive Edition's changes are only superficial, ignoring the gameplay advancements that have improved the genre since 1997. As such, only existing fans will fully appreciate it.

While possibly catering to fans of the sport in terms of content, the overly aggressive AI and unnaturally twitchy handling mean that Monster Energy Supercross just isn't that fun to play.

Much like its predecessor, The Fall Part 2: Unbound is needlessly obtuse in some of its puzzle design, but its magnificent characters and storytelling make the frustration worth it.

A revelatory combination of the online PvP survival and competitive shooter genres, well deserving of being labelled as a phenomenon. As an added bonus, you don't have to be pro gamer to enjoy some level of success online.

6.5 / 10.0 - Gorogoa
Jan 28, 2018

An intelligent puzzle game, Gorogoa certainly tests your logic skills, but it also forgets to really teach you how to handle later chapters when things suddenly get much more complicated.

9.5 / 10.0 - Iconoclasts
Jan 28, 2018

While most Metroidvanias find themselves struggling with their pace, Iconoclasts never lets up. It's one of the best of its kind and definitely needs to be played.

A great port of a nine year old PSP game, LocoRoco 2 Remastered is as fun as it has ever been. Colourful and downright adorable, it's a game that everyone can (and should) play.

Despite an excess of action, the final two DLC episodes feel like a love letter to both the original games and Resident Evil 7 itself. It answers almost every question asked, but leaves a couple unanswered, probably to keep RE8 a possibility.

Bringing out the wicked side of everyone who plays, Ultimate Chicken Horse is great for party gaming.

7 / 10.0 - The End Is Nigh
Dec 13, 2017

Despite being a fun, challenging platformer, The End is Nigh is too similar to Super Meat Boy and the comparison does it no favours whatsoever. It does work very well on Switch though, especially in handheld mode.

7 / 10.0 - A Hat in Time
Dec 5, 2017

Despite some frustration with the camera and some platforming issues, A Hat in Time is a decent game that captures some of the magic of classic 3D platformers.

7 / 10.0 - Hand of Fate 2
Nov 22, 2017

A nice mixture of card RPG and real-time combat, Hand of Fate 2 offers near endless gameplay that's genuinely fun and atmospheric.
