It’s atmospheric, scary and adrenaline-inducing space fun. A top remake.
Overall, a decent effort by the Sega team and they should be praised for their future vision for the series.
It’s not worth full price, but is currently available on Xbox Game Pass. So if you want to try it out for ‘free’ there on your monthly subscription, that’s the best place to play this game until it goes down in price.
Divine Knockout is great fun and a fresh take on the Smash Bros style of brawler. It’s quite limited at the moment, there’s only six arenas and eight fighters at launch, but hopefully the makers at Red Beard Games will improve that over time with promised new content.
This is a must-buy for PS5 owners this winter.
Get your gun soldier, CoD is well and truly back!
Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3 might be worth a look once it’s in the bargain bin, but for now it’s not worth the £40 full price.
It’s a huge gaming bundle and everything you want from a football game.
It’s got a real Flash Gordon vibe to it and the humour really helps to stick the landing when it comes to the storytelling. The voice-acting is cracking and make for regular giggles, if not somewhat stereotyped. But when it comes to gameplay its fine but not anything to write home about. A nice game but not a great game.
For those with the original, it's a bit of a no-brainer to download and resample this version.
The game is great and well worth buying if you’re looking for some multiplayer online shooting fun without the overt violence.
If you really want to see what the PS5 is capable of when pushed, this is your game. And if you’re new to this series, this must be your next purchase.
This is a must-buy for any Ninja Turtles fans looking for a retro gaming kick to add to their collection. Those les interested in a 90s cartoon classic may find the collection a Little too samey.
It would be top-tier with a multiplayer online component, maybe that could come in the inevitable sequel, but for now this is an excellent single player title that perfectly mixes two genres into a whole new style of video game.
It’s cartoon design is full of character and deep down it’s a really involved city builder of a game offering a strong challenge of your creative mind. Well worth giving a go if you’re subscribed to Xbox Game Pass, as it is included in that package and can even be streamed over the cloud, but for £35 on other systems, it is still a great summer title to get your creative juices flowing.
It may be too overwhelming for some, and the length of the game may put others off. But RPG fans are going to love it and the Switch can now boast of a cracking new title in this genre.
We’ve all moved on a bit from these games generally and their appeal, while a flash of fun, lies in hours rather than days of gaming. Beat-em-up fans will not be disappointed.
Either way, this is a wonderful addition to the Switch catalogue and well worth the £50 fee. It’ll last you all summer and beyond.
For music lovers who can’t play instruments, keen on perhaps learning how songs pull together, this will appeal. But for gamers looking at an indie purchase with longevity and diversity of gameplay, it’s best to avoid.
It can be almost hypnotic and certainly helps to calm your stresses in a weird but welcome way.
