Mark it down as an early contender for Game of the Year.
Forza Horizon 4 is a deep, engaging, complex and nearly perfect racing game.
Whether you want to race against the AI, do some challenges, take-on a friend in split-screen, spend hours getting the perfect shot in the photo mode, drive around the tracks in VR, participate in a season or race your mates online, GT Sport has you covered. If you have even a tiny bit of interest in racing or racing games, GT Sport is the only game you'll need this year. It's brilliant.
Horizon is a better game than BotW and while maybe not as ‘important,’ Horizon is the game that will have a lasting, personal impression.
Prey is undeniably a magnificent piece of science-fiction and a must-play videogame
I love Yooka-Laylee, unashamedly. I’ve only finished it recently, but already I want to start again and do it all over
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, not Breath of the Wild, is the absolute best reason to own the Switch.
Aside from Mario Kart 8, Splatoon 2 is the best multiplayer available on Switch right now. There’s absolutely no reason not to own it if you own a Switch. And if you don’t, you’re seriously missing out.
Super Mario Odyssey is a once-in-a-generation game and every self-respecting gamer should sit back and enjoy it. Nintendo has outdone itself yet again and we're the lucky ones who get to reap the benefits.
Like a good book or a new show on Netflix, Yakuza 6 is something to be binged. Writing this Yakuza 6 review was a challenge because it forced me to stop playing. I really didn't want to. I mean I REALLY didn't want to stop playing. Yakuza 6 is the kind of game that lodges itself in your brain and doesn't let go.
Shadow of the Colossus on PS4 may be a remake, but it’s easily one of the best remakes ever released. Shadow of the Colossus is one of the best games ever made and it deserves to be experienced in the incredible form Bluepoint Games has delivered.
If you've not played Bayonetta before and you own a Switch, now is the time. The release of both Bayonetta 1 and 2 on Switch is an absolute boon. These releases are the definitive and best ways to play both Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2.
I'm not sure what else can be said about Resident Evil 2. It's a damn near flawless remake and a damn near flawless video game. It's scary, engaging, addictive and a whole lot of fun. If you want to start your gaming year off right, play Resident Evil 2. It's my favourite game of all time and might be the best one ever made.
It's impeccably designed, masterfully executed and an absolute must-play.
Now that The Witcher 3 is on Switch, there's no reason that every other game in existence isn't. I love The Witcher 3 and on Switch, I love it even more.
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.
INSIDE is an absolutely incredible achievement in art, design and storytelling and comes highly recommended for any Switch ower’s library
Pillars of Eternity on Switch is my favourite way to play the game and it's yet another great reason to own a Switch.
Bungie has clearly worked to reinvigorate Destiny 2 and Shadowkeep is a great step in the right direction.
Minecraft Dungeons is a must-play and uniquely perfect game for the strange times we find ourselves in.
