Evolution: The Video Game is an excellent adaptation of a board game of the same name.
Broken Toys isn’t perfect, but its dialogue is superb, its pacing is fluid and its gameplay is fun and engaging. Stick with The Walking Dead to the end, and I have no doubt you’ll be happy with the result.
My Time at Portia takes a lot of positive notes from popular farming simulators like Stardew Valley and Minecraft, and puts its own creative spin on things.
London Detective Mysteria is a perfectly good visual novel that I’ll definitely be going back to so I can romance each and every one of the available hunks.
I probably won’t be rushing back into Battle Princess Madelyn‘s story mode any time soon, but if you’re up to the challenge of the game’s difficulty level, you’ll certainly get a kick out of its old-school animation and soundtrack.
Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is a perfectly fine game. For fans of the turn-based strategy genre, it’s worth adding to your library for its 10+ hours of gameplay. If you’re in it for the story or the Cthulhu universe on the other hand, you’re more likely to be disappointed.
Despite its annoying stealth sections, My Memory of Us is a truly touching platformer that uses beautiful artwork and clever puzzles to weave a rich narrative. It may not be perfect, but Patrick Stewart’s stellar narration is enough to forget any minor niggles.
My Brother Rabbit is a fantastic hidden object point-and-click that inserts you right inside a child’s vivid imagination.
With some perseverance and dozens upon dozens of retries, you'll get the level down eventually, but you have to be determined and willing to go through hell. For a party game, I'm just not sure that many people will be.
Super Mario Party manages to perfectly blend nostalgia with brand new gameplay, and no party's going to be complete without it.
The Escapists: Complete Edition looks crisp and beautiful on the Nintendo Switch.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider leaves a little to be desired as the final instalment in this reboot series, but the trilogy all together is a strong and fantastic series. It's worth picking up and playing if, for no other reason, than to share in Lara's incredible adventures one more time.
As it stands now, it has a few enjoyable features, but unless you've got the patience of a saint it's probably only trying if you love the rouge-lite genre and are looking for something unique and new.
Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a brilliant game that people of all ages will truly enjoy.
The Walking Dead: The Final Season – Episode One: Done Running is good. Clichéd or not, Telltale always knows how to tell a great story.
If you're a fan of the point-and-click genre, Unavowed should definitely be on your radar.
Despite its few niggles, Overcooked 2 delivers everything that made the first game so great, but in a bigger, better and more appetising package.
If you're a fan of puzzle/platformer games, then Captain Toad on Switch comes highly recommended. Recruit a friend for even more fun. Just makes sure they're ready for an adventure!
It requires a bit of patience in those cumbersome moments in the middle, but it's well worth it for the beautiful art style, harrowing soundtrack, and truly creative take on the point-and-click genre.
Aside from its minor control issues, Sushi Striker is a welcome addition to my growing Nintendo Switch collection and I'm sure it will be for many others. I can't wait to get back to it, but first I'm going to go pick up that sushi I ordered.
