An intuitive and ingenious user-friendly game creation engine that truly embodies Media Molecule's mantra of Play, Create, Share.
If you're a Darksiders diehard, consider picking up Daksiders Genesis on a different platform. It's near unplayable on the Switch, but has the seeming makings of a better outcome, elsewhere.
Despite definitely showing their age in some respects, both Vanquish and Bayonetta hold up extremely well against modern counterparts when it comes to the pitch perfect gameplay. If you missed either of these titles upon their initial release, there's really no excuse to not give them a look in if you're even slightly a fan of the third person action genre.
It's a tough call as to whether to recommend the game or not. I think what it boils down to is, did you like the original game but have trouble getting it to play now, if so then certainly this is a great purchase for you. Do you like the older style RTS games with less minute detail to focus on and a stripped back easier mechanic, then this might tickle your fancy. But if you need absolutely all the bells and whistles, to have complete control over everything and the most up to date state of the art… then perhaps give it a miss.
In terms of would I recommend the game, yes I would, if you are the sort of person who likes the added challenge of big brutes breaking up your otherwise sniper fueled game then you will probably love it. If you've enjoyed the previous games in the series then this should be an easy choice of buy. If you are like me though and don't like having to totally shift gears and fight up close battles in a game that revolves around long range combat then maybe give it a miss… unless you regularly have group gaming sessions in which case multiplayer may well make it worth your while.
In the end if you've got a hankering for some point and click adventuring, you could do worse… I'd suggest waiting till it's on special as I don't think it's quite refined enough to make it worth paying full price… but it has a degree of charm.
I really don't think I'm the market for this game, there are no doubt some people out there that can get hours of entertainment out of knocking items on a dining table over time after time… I'm not one of them. If you like slapstick humour and don't mind frustrating controls then this may be up your alley. For me, this is a hard pass!
Obsidian's epic CRPG makes its way to console in a stellar content-packed Ultimate Edition, let down by a sub-par port job, critical bugs and excessive loading times.
Still very much the same game from nineteen years ago but sadly, it has not aged well.
What Snackworld: The Dungeon Crawl - Gold lacks in gameplay depth, it makes up for with it's great sense of humour and vibrant style
The Patapons are back, remastered and ready to do as your beats command!
Still extremely unique, but age and the initial failings of the game are really starting to show their cracks.
Kamehameha! A great action experience in the Dragon Ball Z universe.
An excellent addition to an already impressive fighter roster, with plenty of care taken in bringing the Clown Prince of Crime to (ultra-violent) life.
A fantastically written and equally fun game in a beautiful setting that will have players laughing at every turn.
Arguably one of the best value DLCs for the series yet opening new locations to drive through, new companies to work for and many new sites to see.
You've played the tabletop games and the PC games... now play the visual novel.
Frontier Developments have set the bar for their DLC offerings excitingly high, and if the rest of their additional content is as impressive as the Arctic Pack then the future for Planet Zoo is looking bright.
More an experience than a game, shows the art side of the gaming world.
Three new tables to try and establish the highest score on, with some lovely nostalgia thrown in for good measure.
