Deadliest Catch: The Game had the almost admirable ability to make me not want to either take up crab fishing in real life, nor to find out what the eventual endgame of its videogame counterpart was.

Jun 26, 2023

There may not be any real new features to speak of in Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection, apart from a difficulty selection and a lick of paint, but there is still a huge amount of very enjoyable gameplay.

Jun 26, 2023

Cyber Citizen Shockman is a gaming museum piece, and a labour of love, but if it's gameplay you want, then track down the far superior sequels.

Jun 6, 2023

Super Mega Baseball 4 begs to be played in couch multiplayer with a few cold ones over the summer, but the franchise play will keep you going way beyond that. A home run.

10 / 10.0 - Street Fighter 6
May 30, 2023

Street Fighter 6 is without question the best fighting game package I have ever played, and will keep you going far longer than a one-on-one fighter has any right to be able to. A true classic.

May 1, 2023

R-Type Final 3 Evolved is a decent shooter, which many will enjoy, but it lacks the finesse and stark beauty of the titles that inspired it.

6 / 10.0 - God of Rock
Apr 29, 2023

Despite its bonkers idea, God of Rock is likeable, although its mechanics can be confusing and overcomplicate things at times.

Apr 11, 2023

EA dazzles with its re-entry onto the fairways with EA Sports PGA Tour, which is comfortably the best golf game in years.

8.5 / 10.0 - MLB The Show 23
Mar 27, 2023

MLB The Show 23 is a superb title that has a great balance of enjoyable gameplay, well-researched and deeply educational story elements.

8 / 10.0 - Fight'N Rage
Mar 8, 2023

With its rip-roaring soundtrack and genuinely impressive retro-future graphical style, Fight'N Rage is a treat for the eyes and ears.

Feb 22, 2023

Tales of Symphonia Remastered is still a great action JRPG and an important one in establishing the now long-running series, but there are better ways to experience it than this.

8 / 10.0 - Akka Arrh
Feb 20, 2023

Akka Arrh is a super cool game which is impossible not to like, and very difficult to put down.

8.5 / 10.0 - Void Scrappers
Feb 20, 2023

Void Scrappers is an absolute no brainer if you like quirky shooters and actually sits quite nicely alongside other genre-mates.

Feb 13, 2023

Metroid Prime Remastered is the best remaster on Switch to date by some margin, which is saying a lot. Still essential after all these years.

Jan 31, 2023

Issues with the combat aside, there is much to enjoy in what Untold Tales have served up with Atone.

Jan 27, 2023

It is fantastic that titles like Raiden IV x MIKADO Remix are still being released, and even missing TATE mode it's a recommendation.

8 / 10.0 - Hyper Gunsport
Jan 24, 2023

Hyper Gunsport is great in couch co-op and versus modes, where the fast paced and fun action takes you back to the golden age of gaming.

10 / 10.0 - Persona 4 Golden
Jan 17, 2023

Persona 4 Golden on Switch is the best possible version of Atlus's finest blend of dungeon crawling role player action dark murder mystery.

Persona 3 Portable has a script that's sharp as a tack, and one which makes you identify and fall in love with the quirky cast of characters that you interact with, as well as feeling very much in control of your protagonist.

7 / 10.0 - Papetura
Jan 15, 2023

Papetura is short and undemanding, and with controls that have made the leap well to the Switch from its point and click Steam origins.
