Planet Alpha is one of my favorite platform experiences in the last decade, I've throuroughly enjoyed every minute oif the six hour campaign and can happily recommend this to anyone who's even partly interested in a platform, stealth, puzzle title.
Dimension Drive is a intense scrolling shooter, where you switch dimensions between two screens to avoid (or in my cas,e crash into) enemies. It's well made, appealing and incredibly challenging and if SHMUP games are for you, then it's well worth checking out Dimension Drive @ XBOX.COM
Twin Robot's Ultimate Edition is great for younger gamers, with a price-point to match, but don't expect much more than easy achievements if you're over 16.
It's a mature title that occasionally confuses itself, guidance, gameplay mechanics and the story sometimes feel a little awkward, but overall it's still very much worth considering.
It's fast, frantic and fun, but with so many loading screens and conversations to get through, the immersion breaks down leaving a frustrating shooter that's a little overpried.
More of a Psychological experience for the mature gamer who wants a change of pace while still taxing the grey matter. At £11.99, it's worth every penny.
At £9.99 it's a perfect price-point and well recommended to waste a little idle time.
20XX stands alone as not only a perfect alternative for Megaman fans, but also a fantastic game in its own right.
The Crew 2 is a very good, fun racing experience, but it's holding itself back with a few minor annoyances.
A good enough park builder, but 65 million years behind what we wanted from the developers of Planet Coaster.
Vampyr might not please everybody, but if you're looking for a lite action-RPG experience with plenty of Dontnod excellence when it comes to story, charaters and narration, you're in for a treat.
Agony is much more disturbing than horror, some bizarre design choices don't combine well and the majority of players will struggle to find anything of mentionable quality to warrant a purchase. If you just want f***** up, disturbing scenes, then it maybe worth a look, but if you're after any form of entertaining gameplay, you'd be far better looking elsewhere.
I'm a fan of Arcade racers, the first game I purchased on the Switch was MarioKart and Blur, Split Second and Burnout remakes would be on my list long before Forza. ONRUSH doens't just scratch an itch, it pushes the boundaries, the last time I enjoyed ANY driving game this much was Burnout Paradise and Codemasters have provided us with the best arcade driving game in over a decade.
Aragami is a fun, unique, stealth based action game that pays tribute to how stealth games used to be, it's tricky, challenging and rewarding with graphics and presentation that impress for a small development team. Aragami has its annoyances, but beyond those there's a thoroughly enjoyable stealth system which will reward the patient.
Earth Atlantis offers the thrills and tension you expect from a side-scrolling bullet-hell shooter, but sadly the lack of longevity you don't always expect.
VALA is a well made, and incredibly fun twin-stick shooter It's repetitive at times, but get a few friends on and you'll find hours of entertainment.
While repetitive in nature and presentation, City of Brass is still a fun, unique strategy-action game that provides plenty of key moments.
Masters of Anima is a fun minion commanding adventure which is well-polished and balanced enough to make the £15.99 asking price reasonable, sadly it’s not great value due to lacking anything after the main story beside the impressive and well-controlled gameplay.
Far Cry 5 took me by surprise, it’s as big, beautiful and bizarre as 3 or 4, but Far Cry 5 is refined to create my favourite Far Cry experience to date.
Lux Obscura is a unique budget game with cheap frills, It’s possibly one of the better stories behind a match-three puzzler, but it’s unfortunate that it’s going to be the scantly clad, seductive women who will sell the game, not the quality of the battles.
