The definitive way to play Final Fantasy XII.
Since the Switch's launch, Nintendo has been showering us with an excellent new game every month and ARMS is no exception. Its tactical but accessible gameplay offers something for both the players seeking a challenge and those just looking for a bit of fun with friends. The plentiful online modes and equally impressive offline multiplayer mean this is one game you will be coming back to for a very long time. Now just don't forget to bring us LEGS Nintendo.
Disgaea 5 Complete offers the best of both worlds. The convenience of playing it both at the comfort of a large HDTV and bringing it on the go mean that this is one adventure you won't ever have to put down. If you already played the hell out of Disgaea 5 on the PlayStation 4 and bought the accompanying DLC missions, there isn't much new here to keep you entertained, but if you want to dip your feet for the first time in this rich and crazy series, Disgaea 5 Complete will keep you glued to the screen for a very long time.
Every new cog in Sonic Mania looks right at home next to the old ones.
Everything I hoped for and more, not only has it quickly taken its place as one of my favourite games released this year, but Collar x Malice has earned a spot as one of my favourite visual novels overall. It's something very special, and it's going to be one tough act to follow.
While Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA doesn't reinvent the wheel, it most certainly improves absolutely everything it can over its already excellent predecessors. It hits the nail on the head with just about everything it does, from the stellar combat to the almost Metroidvania world structure to the actual feeling of exploring a mysterious island inhabited by feral creatures. This is one of the few rare cases where the game's narrative is closely tied to its gameplay, making for something truly refreshing. If you have never played a Ys game before this is the perfect place to start, while longtime fans are sure to be more than thrilled with this latest adventure.
Mary Skelter: Nightmares is one of the very best dungeon crawlers I played to date. From its well-crafted story, interesting characters and captivating atmosphere, to its unique gameplay which doesn't become stale even after hours of dungeon crawling, there is so much to like about the game. Compile Heart has truly made it a long way since MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death and we are excited to see what they have next in store.
Revenant Kingdom is an instant classic.
Arguably the best anime-inspired game on the market.
As ridiculous as it can get at times Gal Gun 2 was a pleasant surprise through and through. From its lewd premise to its ecchi scenes Gal Gun 2 knows its target audience extremely well. But even with these aside the game is a well-crafted package, offering fun gameplay which aims and succeeds in breaking from its on-rail shooter roots.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 provides a solid SRPG fix.
Super Mario Party is out this Friday (October 5th 2018) on Nintendo Switch in both retail and on Nintendo eShop! Thank you to Nintendo UK for supplying the code for this review.
Thank you to Nintendo for kindly supplying a review code for this fantastic game.
You might worry that this is too much Yakuza, but there's no such thing.
The addition of great new characters like Nico and V, alongside the stalwart characters from earlier games make this truly feel like a sequel – bigger and better in every possible way.
A great game through and through.

A shining example of why the Warriors games are so good.
Just the bittersweet, gorgeous puzzle platformer I hoped it would be.
