10 / 10.0 - Persona 5 Royal
Mar 17, 2020

For those that have already enjoyed the original game, this is a fan's dream, with everything you could wish for and more, with nearly every aspect improved upon. A spellbinding videogame, and one that deserves to be spoken about in reverential terms for many years to come.

10 / 10.0 - Clockwork Aquario
Nov 29, 2021

Clockwork Aquario is a restorative labour of love 27 years in the making. What’s not to like?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is a beautifully curated selection of some of the best one-on-one combat games ever created.

Zelda by name, but beneath the mask lurks something much darker.

Nov 9, 2014

PES stands alone, and this year finally delivers on the next generation of consoles. A great looking, immensely satisfying kickabout.

A superb puzzle game that has the added bonus of being cross-buy.

9 / 10.0 - Edge
Dec 9, 2013

Edge has a lot to give you. You can pick it up and whizz through a few levels at your leisure and just enjoy the blocky, bleepy wonderfulness of it all. Or you can focus on becoming a master of the flashy balancing trickery, eking every last drop out of it, keeping your best times as low as they can possibly be, not missing one damn prism.

Feb 10, 2015

A more accessible adventure for newcomers this time around, but Monster Hunter Ultimate 4 still hasn't fully shaken off its outer armour.

One of the best HD remakes you will find, with worthy additions to an already great game.

Mar 3, 2020

Arc System Works return to the fighting fray with a sumptuous take on the Granblue Fantasy Universe. An essential purchase.

Online flaws aside, Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r] is comfortably one of the best looking and fun to play fighters for the system.

Jun 1, 2020

Lonely Mountains: Downhill feels very much at home on the Switch, and as such comes with our full endorsement, even if you haven't already experienced it on another format.

9 / 10.0 - Jet Lancer
Jun 1, 2020

Oozing retro arcade cool, yet still feeling modern and unique, Armor Games Studios have absolutely delivered with Jet Lancer.

Feb 24, 2021

Natsuku Chronicles is a seriously entertaining title, which fans of classics like Border Down and R-Type Final will absolutely lap up.

Jun 9, 2021

Guilty Gear Strive is a real triumph for Arc System Works, fast becoming the gold standard of the genre, and it is going to be extremely fun to see how it plays out in coming months.

Jul 1, 2021

This is a superb port of one of the finest arcade sports experiences of them all, and instantly becomes an essential purchase for Switch owners.
