L.A. Noire remains a fully unique experience, and a game that deserves its second round.
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.
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.
Farming Simulator on the Switch is exactly what it says on the tin. Nothing more, nothing less.
Wheels of Auerlia has potential but squanders its opportunities to say something.
Don't be swayed by its colourful appearance, Putty Pals has been put on this earth to hurt you. The FingerGuns Review;
Pankapu can sit proudly among the greats of the Switch line-up. The FingerGuns review;
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.
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.
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.
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.
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".
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.
Songbringer is a super-tough, rewarding RPG that doesn't quite give enough
Just like the original, Nidhogg 2 is at its best when played in multiplayer, with little else to recommend it.
Forma.8 is a game that hit pretty much every platform over the course of the year, and now it's the turn of Nintendo's handheld hybrid Nintendo Switch. Does it translate? Well, yes dear reader, yes it does.
The blue blur returns in Sonic Mania, the hedgehog's crowning achievement
I've said it a hundred times in TellTale reviews in the past but the first episode of the season is usually always its weakest, and as such the seasons tends to get stronger as they continue. Ergo, I remained optimistic for Episode 2. I'm glad I did, 'Giant Consequences' is a far more cohesive, fun experience, even if it still isn't completely essential.
Agents of Mayhem is a whole lot of fun but we've seen it all before.
Ironcast has proved once again that ports are nothing but a plus for Nintendo Switch.
