Unless you're prepared to to get to grips with RiftStar Raiders' unintuitive controls, you're probably best off steering clear.
As you unlock new characters, bolster your stats and become more knowledgeable about the game, you know victory will one day come, and that makes your desire to keep at it even stronger. Immortal Redneck is perhaps the best roguelike I've ever played because of that fact
Metal Gear Survive is a far cry from any other game released prior in the series, but that doesn't make it any less compelling. So it's up to you: either cling on to the notion that Metal Gear Survive is a terrible cash-in and miss out on an interesting adventure, or put your misconceptions aside and jump right in and have some fun. I know what I'd do.
Dynasty Warriors 9 does take the series into new territory, but in doing so it breaks the tight-knit, smooth, action-packed gameplay that we've come to know and love.
Put simply, if you're a fan of the series, Bayonetta 1 & 2 are essential on the Nintendo Switch, especially if, like me, you only plan to play them in handheld mode.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is pretty much the game I've been waiting for all my life.
Monster Energy Supercross does a lot of things to impress then, but its lacklustre career mode takes a lot of shine out of the proceedings.
Overall, EA Sports UFC 3 is a great game let down by some modes that just don't entertain as much as they should. If you have the patience to click through menu after menu or grind for cards then this is undoubtedly the best UFC game ever made.
Charming and engaging in equal measure, SteamWorld Dig offers a quirky, addictive subterranean adventure that is well worth digging into.
If you're a fan of the side-scrolling beat 'em up genre then Wulverblade certainly does enough for you to consider checking it out, but it just doesn't feel mechanically sound enough to truly impress. It's a shame, given the game's strong art direction, historic bent and variety of gameplay modes.
Whether you're a Dragon Ball fan or not, Dragon Ball FighterZ is a fighting game that you need to add to your collection.
Beholder: Complete Edition is a unique and thought-provoking package that should pique the interest of any gamer that isn't averse to a bit of strategy. It may not stand up so well to many repeated playthroughs, despite it having multiple endings aplenty, but while it lasts it'll have you on tenterhooks as you go about your duplicitous operations.
It isn't an essential game by any means, then, but for puzzle fans Fearful Symmetry & The Cursed Prince is well worth checking out.
If you're desperate for a Super Smash Bros. style brawler on Switch there may be enough here to warrant a purchase as long as you plan to put plenty of hours in with your friends. Otherwise, you may just find that it'll provide more frustration than fun.
To me, it speaks volumes that despite pretty much completing Yooka-Laylee on Xbox One, I've felt compelled to play the game on Switch whenever I've had a spare moment. [Richard Seagrave separately reviewed the XB1 (60%) and Switch (80%) versions. Their scores have been averaged.]
The Switch's library of games goes from strength to strength, but Floor Kids stands out for all the right reasons. There's nothing else quite like it on Switch - in terms of presentation nor gameplay.
If you're a fan of The Surge and you're fine with the idea of A Walk in the Park only taking up a few hours of your time, I'd say jump into it. It may be quite short but it's enjoyable every step of the way, and there's plenty of goodies to carry through to the rest of the game.
For those who jump into it feet first it's easily worth the price. Being able to hurtle down yet more mountains with all the available disciplines equates to huge amounts of fun, and there's nothing else quite like it available. This is an expansion in the traditional sense, and while its self-contained story is little more than a diversion, it's got a lot more going for it.
Oh my Godheads is without a doubt one of the most original, polished, balanced, and entertaining local multiplayer games I've played all year, and so if you're the type of person that has friends around on a regular basis for some gaming action, it deserves your attention.
All in all then, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is perhaps both the best and worst LEGO game available
