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
With over 25,000 questions and the hint that there's more content to come on the game's main menu, It's Quiz Time is now the essential quiz game to play with friends and family on special occasions, and to stream online all year round.
I've already sank more hours into Sky Force Reloaded than I care to mention, yet I feel like I've still only just scratched its surface.
Woefully short and terribly unpolished is what Your Toy is then, but it shouldn't stop you from checking it out if you want to test what's between your ears under stressful conditions.
Star Wars Battlefront II's progression system may indeed be piss poor and too loot box centered, but that doesn't stop it from being a mighty fine way to spend your time.
In the end then, Gear.Club Unlimited is a fun but flawed racer.
Road Rage is like one of those terrible low-budget straight-to-video movies that occupies the shelves of your local supermarket: you know it's rubbish but you can't quite help but be bemused by it.
Sonic Forces is the latest in a long line of 3D Sonic games that have been nothing but a disappointment.
Need for Speed Payback is at its best when you're completing story missions, speeding through thrilling set-pieces and battling against cops and criminals.
Challenging, fast-paced and deeper than you'd expect, there's a reason why Assault Android Cactus has such a strong following, and that's because it's a no-nonsense example of the wonders of unadulterated arcade gaming.
After a year's absence, Assassin's Creed is back and it has been reborn. And I'll happily admit that I've got egg on my face, because it's better than ever.
Bigger, bolder and somehow a hell of a lot more outlandish than The New Order, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus' imperfections do little to hold the game back from being one of the most compelling single player games of the year.
In many ways, Gran Turismo Sport feels like a tech demo. Visually, it pushes the bar, with car models that are as good the real thing and environments better than ever before. And the lighting; holy hell, the lighting. It is glorious. In terms of content though, it's lacking.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly disappointed by it. The Stick of Truth was phenomenal, while The Fractured But Whole is simply great.
