For the amount of content, the number of hours you’ll play and the ability to play with friends, with or without the game, 51 Worldwide Games is easily one of the must-have Switch games this year.
It's excellent. Plain and simple.
Fans of CCGs and rogue-likes will have an absolute ball with Monster Train. It’s hard, unique and really addictive. Here’s hoping it gets some post-launch support with more cards, factions and enemies.
Minecraft Dungeons is a must-play and uniquely perfect game for the strange times we find ourselves in.
It's not perfect and it is quite repetitive but I wasn't bothered. Maneater is a game we've not seen the likes of before and I hope it inspires more like it. Go and buy Maneater and experience what it's like to be the ultimate Apex Predator.
Moving Out is a great game, best played in moderation and never alone. If you’ve got a group of friends, some adult beverages and some extra controllers, boot up Moving Out and have a great time
XCOM: Chimera Squad is a strange, stripped back version of XCOM that does away with the suspenseful and thrilling moments of missions to focus on action, for better or worse.
Gears Tactics is a must-play if you're a fan of the franchise or the genre
It might have taken years and years but we finally got the Final Fantasy7 Remake. It might not yet be complete but it's incredible and has been well worth the wait.
Resident Evil 2 set the standard for videogame remakes in 2019. Resident Evil 3 should serve as a cautionary tale for the pitfalls of videogame remakes in 2020.
New mechanics, incredible movement and verticality and brutal gunplay combine with flawless level design, top-notch pacing, a spectacular soundtrack and immaculate visuals to make DOOM Eternal essentially perfect.
In spite of all of the issues, the lacklustre combat and the reduced impact due to coming back for a second go, Ori and the Will of the Wisps is still great. If nothing else, the exploration and movement are absolutely top-notch.
As a fun, dungeon crawling, loot collecting action-RPG, Snack World is pretty good. It’s not as deep or engaging as Diablo and it definitely doesn’t look as good as Darksiders Genesis, but it has its own charms.
Fans of the original are clearly miffed but, if like me, you missed it the first time, or haven’t played in ages, Warcraft 3: Reforged is a game that simply must be played
It's hard to come up with any real negatives for Zombie Army 4. It has so much on offer, it plays so well and it is incredible amounts of fun that if you even have a passing fancy for video games, you'll likely have a great time.
While the controls aren’t perfect, they work well enough so I can’t complain about them. My one complaint is about load times. As you transition from scene to scene, it can take quite a while for the game to load. It’s a shame as it really slows down what’s already a fairly glacially paced title. Hopefully, a future update can address this.
Journey to the Savage Planet is the first good surprise for 2020 and it's definitely a game for fans of adventure, exploration and, of course, Metroid Prime.
Dragonball Z: Kakarot isn't a bad game, it's just an average one.
Overall, AO Tennis 2 is the best non-arcade tennis game I've played in a long time. It is difficult, but it strikes a balance between being too hard and being challenging enough to spur you on.
I like to think of Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE Encore in the same way as Persona 4 Golden. It's the same game with a few added bells and whistles and it's playable on the go, which makes it even better.
