Velan Studios transposes the sport of dodgeball into what's a fun, friendly shooter that bears no arms, though it currently lacks legs.
Ultimate Showdown reinforces all that, and even if it's not quite the ultimate release of Virtua Fighter 5 it's a delight to get lost in the rhythms of what remains an all-time great, and a timeless one at that. For old diehards like myself Virtua Fighter 5 sits alongside OutRun 2 as the very best of Sega, and for all the missed opportunities here - the less than perfect netcode, the lack of periphery frills or much by way of new content - the chance to play it alongside a new audience is more than worthwhile. Maybe it's not quite the grand return the series deserves, but it's a game that still deserves to be played.
Thanks to its adorable characters and a story that makes no excuses for how absurd it is, World's End Club is a lot of fun.
The Wonder Boy series gets yet more current-gen love with this big-hearted remake.
A 2D run and gunner that's as in your face as an 80s Troma classic, Huntdown matches its excess with brilliant detail.
For all the weirdness and fun it promises, Biomutant ends up a deeply conventional open-world action game.
Dorfromantik is sunshine on the screen, with a puzzling heart that will keep you busy for days.
Sumo Newcastle's debut is an engrossing but substanceless heist game - and an interestingly grim take on Robin Hood.
Wrath of the Druids is a meaty expansion which succeeds in taking Valhalla to new shores, even if the path sometimes feels familiar.
Capcom's follow-up to its first-person Resi reinvention is a fantastic horror romp - for its first half, at least.
Enjoyably traditional, if a little tatty in places, this is a shooting game that still stands apart from all others.
In Returnal, Housemarque builds a game on both euphoric highs and confounding lows.
New Pok'mon Snap captures the strange joy of the original game without being derivative.
A safe choice for fans, this slight reimagining turns a weak game into an okay one.
A simple but quietly captivating 3D collectathon with a gorgeous setting.
Trials of Fire is a complex but seductive deck-building strategy game about sculpting the perfect RPG team.
Abe's Exoddus gets a generous upgrade in this slightly patchy adventure.
After a disastrous launch People Can Fly's third-person sci-fi adventure emerges as a smart if familiar shooter.
Surreal, enigmatic and often sloppily executed, Balan Wonderworld is a 90s throwback that might be too period correct for some.
This cosmic point-and-click looks and feels like no other game out there.
