Radial-G: Racing Revolved provides the kind of VR experience you were hoping for when you bought your PSVR. Strap in and hold on tight.
The stage is set and if the content releases continue at this high bar level of quality, there's every chance we'll be talking about Destiny 2 as a potential "Game of The Generation", never mind "Game of the Year".
As of now, it feels like a single idea with a strong story connecting it all together. It doesn't live up to that brilliant trailer but if you're after a game to give you a good chuckle, you can't really go wrong here. Just be ready to walk around a hell of a lot to get to the punchline.
There's an interesting choice near the end which could see some major ramifications between the group moving forward, and a strong final 'boss' sequence was entertaining and visually, finally brought a bit of excitement to proceedings, but it wasn't enough to save whatever the previous 80 minutes were before it. The story progression was next to none and the location was really dull, making Jailhouse Block a huge misfire.
Ruiner is terrific. The story is a bit of a misfire and the characters are difficult to engage with, but the solid gameplay, the terrific visuals and the cracking soundtrack should get you through. The difficulty levels are overwhelming – at least for me – but it doesn't take away from the fact Ruiner is just a great game.
I'm struggling to find something I really didn't enjoy about Golf Story. It feels fantastic on my Switch and is the kind of game I could play for hours on a train journey (battery withstanding). I'm delighted it's as good as I was hoping it would be, it's probably exceeded my expectations.
Pankapu can sit proudly among the greats of the Switch line-up. The FingerGuns review;
Don't be swayed by its colourful appearance, Putty Pals has been put on this earth to hurt you. The FingerGuns Review;
Wheels of Auerlia has potential but squanders its opportunities to say something.
Farming Simulator on the Switch is exactly what it says on the tin. Nothing more, nothing less.
Sonic Team promised us. They promised us they would deliver with Forces, they said they're taking Sonic back and will remind us of what makes him so great. I was so ready to get on board. Ugh, I was so ready. Damn you, Sonic Team.
Still, if you're looking for a karaoke game to get stuck into this holiday, you can't much go wrong with We Sing Pop!. It doesn't look like there's DLC coming anytime soon so what you buy is what you're stuck with, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The song list is varied and full of fun songs to get stuck into.
L.A. Noire remains a fully unique experience, and a game that deserves its second round.
The ultimate top down racer hits the Switch. Mantis Burn Racing – The FingerGuns Review;
There's little else on the Switch that can match the chaos that Worms W.M.D. creates, making this new edition a game worth picking up as soon as possible.
Big Ant come out swinging with the best cricket game in years.
I'm delighted that Beyond the Bedrock brought back that emotional arc the previous three episodes were missing. It seemed to fly by and that's the first time I've said that about an episode this season. Whilst there weren't a huge amount of big choices to be made – though one near the end was rather harrowing – and the story hasn't moved on significantly, the episode sets up the finale strongly with a neat post-credits scene. I hope that the final episode lives up to this standard, because this has been far and away the best of the season so far.
Human: Fall Flat is not going to change the world, but it's certainly a welcome distraction from it. Just make sure you have a second full controller set-up or it becomes a very lonesome experience.
Brawlout is a close but no cigar attempt to reinvigorate the Smash fighter. The FingerGuns Review;
I do hope Epiphany Games work on making this version a little more polished or build a whole new Tiny Troopers experience for Switch because as I said at the top, there's a game and a half here waiting to be played on a platform that can lend itself well to this kind of game. Joint Ops XL isn't it, though. Not one bit.
