Barreling down the side of Blizzard Mountain and sliding around on the frozen lake are some of the best highlights.
As mentioned, you’ll come across treasure chests, but I couldn’t help but laugh at the contents – the food is always the same steaming pre-cooked meal, as if in this world the treasure chests are actually fancy microwaves.
Games like this, you’ll die without warning, which can be pretty annoying.
Aside from the awful background music in the tutorial level, the soundtrack was generally quite good.
Poochy and Yoshi’s Woolly World retains much of the traditional “Yoshi” style gameplay you’ve likely played in past Yoshi games such as 2014’s Yoshi’s New Island.
Let me make this perfectly clear; the soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks I’ve heard this year and is so far the soundtrack to beat in 2017.
You’ll be shifting between sizes many times throughout a level – but it’ll only work with solid communication.
WRC 6 is a decent racing game, assuming you understand exactly what you’re getting into.
I’m happy to report that these four new maps are unique enough to justify the addition and definitely won’t feel like rehashed content.
Unfortunately, with no download play option, you’ll only be able to play locally with friends who also own the game.
The voice actors do an absolutely splendid job delivering the dialog – whether it's Chase McCain's tough demeanor or Frank Honey's silly quips, all of it is spot on.
Full Throttle Remastered is the perfect opportunity for gamers who missed out on the original to play this piece of gaming history.
Capcom, you need to be better than this.

The experience is short, but ultimately well constructed. The ending has a very M. Night Shyamalan feel to it – you'll get some closure, but you'll also want more! Yes, What Remains of Edith Finch is essentially a walking simulator – but with a unique story, some very interesting sequences and some fun "game" moments, it's the best one I personally have had the pleasure of playing.
The Emperor's Challenge DLC only adds a small amount of new content but its small price tag makes it a great impulse buy that fans of the original game will get their money's worth out of.
Turn 10 deserves serious props for the way they've handled the games post-release content
Admittedly, there were some genuinely fun moments – I really like using the grappling hook and the Magnetic Glove provided some fun offense.
Each stage has been updated substantially to properly fit modern TVs and has a nice, smooth, cartoon-like look
