For veteran players, just experiencing the original games one more time in a brand new way is enough to put a smile on your face and reawakening that inner child. Playing along with a newcomer or first-timer makes it even more inviting and enjoyable, reminding you why you fell with love with Pocket Monsters in the first place.
A new opening act that feels a bit out of place from the entire narrative and leaves a strange taste in your mouth. Still, it is fun and broadens the horizons of the Greek-centric world. I just wished it wasn't so unsatisfying.
There's the nucleus of a great mech punch 'em up here, but Override: Mech City Brawl needs some more time in R&D before it can get there.
Desert Child is an ambitious cyberpunk racer that feels more like a preview of what could be a truly terrific game, hampered by short length and lack of gameplay variety.
An absolute delight, Tetris Effect twists and bends the mind of the player like few other games are capable of. While not quite a revolution of the classic premise, Effect provides players of all experiences the chance to discover what has made the franchise so iconic while also pointing towards the future.
A respectful, sombre window into a conflict that's famously difficult to tackle in gaming. Struggles to maintain a consistent flow at times but boasts one of the most compelling narratives of any recent war game.
A smart port of a PC cult favourite, The Forest on PS4 is simply one of the best survival experiences you will find on a console.
The Heist is fairly short, even with its new side missions, and though it does have some cool character building, it ultimately doesn't match up to the expectations set by the main game.
Steel Rats isn't a total crash and burn, not by any means – I just couldn't help but expect more from it.
Déraciné is completely unlike anything From Software has attempted before, and while it may not be as captivating as the franchise that made their name, it's a magical time all the same.
Crap gameplay, worse story and a terrible gimmick, The Quiet Man just barely manages to be ironically enjoyable, but you should probably leave well enough alone.
A must have for any beat ‘em up fan, Speed Brawl's unique take on the classic genre is well worth checking out.
Diablo 3 on the Switch is an obvious buy for anyone who likes dungeon crawlers or just wants to enjoy some best in class couch co-op.
While My Hero One's Justice is a commendable first step into the world of My Hero Academia, there isn't enough meat on the bones to keep you playing for more than a few hours. The game is decent enough, but never quite reaches the Plus Ultra levels of its TV counterpart.
Despite it having some wrinkles, Red Dead Redemption 2 introduces more than enough innovations to provide one of the most immersive and captivating open world games ever made.
A laundry list of shortcomings with Call of Cthulhu prevent this betentacled Great Old One from rising very far. Still, its b-movie charm does have something to offer to those who can ride out the rougher spots.
Party Hard 2 isn't a bad game, but it's not for everyone.
Windjammers is a totally unique and simple but enthralling game about competitive frisbee that feels right at home on the Switch.
A great, relaxing button-masher you can turn your brain off for and just power through and watch legendary heroes become friends, though it is missing a sense of wonder this time around that not even the Greek and Norse gods could replace.
Even with a new battle royale to play, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 still feels like a game too shackled by its conventions to offer much more than a small step forward.
