Nick Gillham's Reviews
Download play in Kirby Battle Royale will give a group a burst of fun, but after that it's unlikely you'll return for more.
Just Dance 2018 is just as good as it's always been, but it's beginning to become hard to justify shelling out just for a smattering of new songs with each iteration.
Slow and steady like the game itself, but a virtual experience can't live up to the real thing.
While the 3DS hardware doesn't measure up to the Switch, Fire Emblem Warriors provides the same experience regardless of format.
Life is Strange, it always has been, but just like life, don't let this pass you by.
Conga Master Party is fun while you're in it, but the appeal is a little short lived, just like a real conga line.
Even if you're not a fan of bullet hell you should give Earth Atlantis a try, this really doesn't deserve to sink without a trace.
Offering up a small slice of emergent storytelling, Another Lost Phone does a good job of highlighting difficult themes.
Fun, quaint and a bit buggy, Golf Story is a lovely but flawed distraction.
Not so hot alone, Astro Bears Party comes alive with friends only to quickly run out of steam.
Factor in the rather obtuse nature of the puzzling and the uninspiring cast and you'll find that there's a lot to be disappointed with in this return for the famed puzzle series.
Much like Mario himself, Superstar Saga has changed in looks, but it's still every bit as good as it was back then.
Out of the three versions this is the Yo-Kai Watch 2 to get, it's very much what has gone before, but this time they've thrown in the kitchen sink.
Early on Robonauts is a nice little blaster, but a rote mission structure and a headache inducing core mechanic let it down.
Dorothy and Fen's adventure is a brilliant slice of zen gaming, a treat. Image & Form have knocked the it out of the park with this sequel.
Pokken is a fighting game that while decent could do with understanding that complexity doesn't necessarily equal depth.
Bringing NeuroVoider to the Switch was a real no-brainer for Flying Oak, it's a good slice of rogue-like action for this terrific machine.
An excellent reimagining of an age old title, it's great to see Samus back after such a long hiatus, please don't go away for so long again.
Stylish, simplistic and a whole load of fun, get some mates round and have a tournament, you'll thank me later.
Before the Storm is an eagerly awaited second album, but it's one we're going to have to pay attention to before we can see what it really is.
