World to the West puts players in control of four unlikely heroes with unique skillsets and tasks them with exploring a puzzle-filled map. The world and its humourous characters are presented in a delightful art style and the soundtrack is great but the gameplay becomes repetitive in lengthier chunks.
Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception is a great visual novel for fans of the slice of life genre and one that made me want the sequel right now.
I haven't played anything like this since Journey. It is a stunning game to explore and exist in, and the story is going to move a lot of people.
Street Fighter 2 remains a good game, whatever incarnation it appears in, but the new modes add nothing (and are bad) and it's far too expensive. A conundrum, then, and one only you can decide if you're willing to pay out for.
Cooking Mama: Sweet Shop is better suited for young children due to the incredibly easy mini-games and lack of variety.
Fast, furious, fun and another positive adjective beginning with f, Injustice 2 is everything you need from a fighting game.
Portal Knights takes inspiration from a variety of games, blending the crafting and building of games like Minecraft and merging loose RPG elements to make it a sandbox game with a goal.
The Forza Horizon series has always embodied the adventurous and fun side of driving, and the Hot Wheels expansion delivers that in spades.
Releasing Minecraft on the Switch was a real no brainer for Microsoft, the game has found a natural home and is worth yet another purchase.

If you're looking for a quick fix of addictive gameplay within a multiplayer environment, you can't go wrong with this.
Farpoint isn't bad, and to PSVR players who've never experienced anything like it, it may resonate harder. But know that there's far better out there in the same space.
Put aside any misconceptions you have about strategy RPGs, Shadows of Valentia demands your time and will make you feel good for it.
Disgaea 5 Complete is the best version of Disgaea 5 and a great strategy RPG that is well worth your time.
Akiba's Beat is a tedious action RPG that has very few redeeming factors and one that has made me appreciate Akiba's Trip even more and that is saying something.
The Surge offers an interesting world to explore, and a few new tricks that set it apart from the competition, but often falls short of its inspiration due to wonky combat and uninspired enemy designs.
With Xbox coming under fire this year for its lack of exclusives, this lazy port of a boring platformer is not going to win anyone over.
It's great to have a basketball arcade game back in the public domain, but it falls short of the successful heights of NBA Jam.
There are few rhythm games that are as joyful or as fun as this. If you need a happy place, this should most definitely be it.
I started Last Stitch Goodnight unimpressed with its attempts at humour but after four and a half hours of basic yet varied combat, unique boss battles and intriguing story, I finished with a much more positive outlook.
