Donkey Kong Adventure offers so much new content to sink your teeth into that you’ll forget the amount of time that’s past. It’s well worth the price of the games’ Season Pass alone and is a DLC that proves the success of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was no fluke. Without doubt, one of the most polished, entertaining expansions of the year.
Mario Tennis Aces can quickly get very competitive and addictive, but equally that desire can soon turn to frustration. But unquestionably, Mario Tennis Aces is the best Tennis game in recent memory and is likely to be unmatched for quite some time to come.
Ubisoft Shanghai’s efforts are enjoyable enough, but one just hopes that the bar of quality is raised even higher for Dead Living Zombies and Lost on Mars.

The Hidden Ones might just be the most important piece of Assassin’s Creed DLC to date.

Q.U.B.E 2 is a massive statement of intent from Toxic Games with its energy, enthusiasm and overall excellence. They’re in nobodies shadow, now. They’re the ones casting it.
The Council is the next evolution of episodic storytelling and you will struggle to look at its competitors the same way after it.
The truth is Fear Effect Sedna is not a good game. It’s more frustrating than it is satisfying and it will test the best resolve in the world if you are determined to see it through to the end. In this case, sadly, patches and fixes can only paper the cracks of what is an inherently flawed sequel.
Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is one of the bravest, most unique independent experiences out there
Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is, by far, the best handheld Pac-Man experience ever designed, but it’s also one of the finest, most fun multiplayer experiences you can find on any market.
Mulaka has more heart than most but suffers for bugs, glitches and frustrating combat
Big Top Breakout is everything I could have wanted from an Escapists DLC, and for a measly £2.49 is an absolutely essential purchase for anyone who already owns the game. Big Top Breakout is Big Time Fun!

Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is a memorable and truly impressive remaster and will be enjoyable to audiences old and new.
