Chris White's Reviews
If you've not played Alien: Isolation, then now's the time! If you've been waiting for it to come to the Switch, then it's a must buy if you want to be scared to death, filled with impressive visuals and thrilling moments.
Civilization VI is a fantastic strategy game, and having it on consoles will allow plenty of newcomers the chance to experience it for the first time.
A Doctor Who game set in a virtual world could have been something really special. Unfortunately, the slow movement and generic puzzles don't do much for Maze Theory's game.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is filled with wonderful combat, great visuals, and a decent story, but the technical issues are too prominent to ignore.
WWE 2K20 lacks anything new,with a poor story mode and bad animations, and the wrestling is plagued with technical issues that ruin any kind of enjoyment you may have.
Need for Speed Heat puts the franchise back on the right track, but the various bugs and dull story means the series is still behind the pack.
Death Stranding is an ambitious game, filled with so many different mechanics and ideas that almost always work well together. The story and acting is fantastic, and its visuals are a thing of beauty, not to mention the powerful soundtrack.
Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark is a wonderful throwback to tactical RPGs of old, featuring tons of customisation and strategical options to play around with.
Close to the Sun is a smart narrative adventure, but some of its elements ruin the tension of its well-crafted world.
Ring Fit Adventure is a fun RPG that incorporates exercise and tactics to make you feel good whilst playing.
Return of the Obra Dinn is finally on consoles, and if you've never played it before you need to play it right now.
Killer Queen Black doesn't feature an abundance of features, but the simplistic gameplay and cool win conditions make it a nice little multiplayer that's in the same vein as Nidhogg.
Concrete Genie has some stunning visuals when you're free to paint, and the story is interesting enough to keep you playing until the end.
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is one of the best 2D platformers available. If you're looking for something filled with refined gameplay and fun levels, this is it.
Mutazione has a beautifully written narrative filled with wonderful characters and a captivating story.
Sayonara Wild Hearts isn't particularly long, but the catchy pop score and variety of levels give you a decent challenge.
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered makes sufficient improvements to the visuals, bringing the same incredible JRPG to PC and PS4 without leaving any detail behind.
Star Wars Pinball is a superb time-waster, packing in plenty of fan service and some well-crafted pinball tables. If you're a Star Wars fan you need to play this!
eFootball PES 2020 has gameplay that feels much more realistic, and each game is more about careful approaches than counter attacks. Most of the modes remain relatively unchanged, but the actual game is lots of fun to play as long as you're not having issues with the AI.
NBA 2K20 is another fine entry into the franchise, with this year's story mode being its best yet. There are issues, but the good far outweighs the bad.
