Marvel Vs Capcom: Infinite is one of the best fighters of the year on a pure gameplay standpoint, the Story Mode may be utter guff and the visuals are incredibly mediocre but when it comes down to it, the core combat and online component are so addictive that you can sink hours into the characters and stones and still be finding new combos and set-ups.
High Hell is a high-octane shooter from the minds behind Heavy Bullets and Enter the Gungeon. Whilst not the most ground-breaking puzzle shooter on offer today, it spins an absurd web and has a satisfying gameplay loop from level to level.
Challenging for even the most experienced survival game player, The Flame in The Flood is a fantastic experience. Just don't expect it to be painless.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a wholly necessary sequel to the first game, and a delight for fans of the TV show wedged inside a solid, feature-complete RPG with a few small issues holding it back. Whilst not as revolutionary as the first instalment, it still goes great lengths to deliver absurd laughs.
Wolfenstein: The New Colossus carves its own path as an improved version of its predecessor, but the result is not entirely revolutionary. Come for the gameplay you know and stay for the story, score and characters that you don't.
Hand of Fate 2 is what a sequel should be. It adds so much to the game while fixing many, if not all, of the critiques of the first game. The few frustrations that are created come nowhere near the superb design, and replayability, this game has to offer.
A solid and life-breathing addition to a previously waning franchise, Call of Duty: WWII plies fans with the gameplay the know with enough bells and whistles to please franchise fanatics and newcomers alike, despite not quite reaching the hallowed ground of the series best.
Nex Machina feels like a living retro experience in which the player gets trapped inside an arcade machine. The only way out is to get better, and destroy machines in the most stylish way you can possibly think.
Optimisation issues aside, RiME is a fun game with some well-designed puzzles. A stunning soundtrack helps to keep you invested in the beautiful, mysterious world you explore.
Far From Noise is specifically designed for those wanting a contemplative, thoughtful experience. The story told is one of warmth and wit, asking existential questions, and exploring the meaning of life. For From Noise is a simple game, but one that asks not-so-simple questions.
Rocket League is fast, fun, frantic, and borderline addictive. It is a must-buy for anyone after that competitive esport experience on Nintendo Switch.
A polished and prettified remake of one of Metroid's less-acclaimed titles, Samus Returns spells the start of something beautiful for a series that's been left in the dark for too long.
Despite the minor issues that appear here and there, Mantis Burn Racing feels at home on the Switch.
An original, yet conceptually flawed puzzler means that Human: Fall Flat, falls a bit, well, flat. However, the local co-op enabled by the Switch means that this is a worthwhile game to play through with a friend (just be sure to buy an extra controller!)
Crawl is an exceptional multiplayer that takes a huge advantage of the Switch's portability. An unique game that should be present in all parties.
Summary The Deer God seems to be content with being below average and makes no effort to convince you it’s worth any of your time.
Serial Cleaner is an immensely fun, innovative indie Switch title that will test not only your wits but your patience with its increasing difficulty and cleverly-crafted level design. With a great soundtrack, a pleasing aesthetic, and enough content to entertain players for hours, it's a must-have for anyone who enjoys a good puzzle and wants to prove their talent for making dead bodies disappear.
Tinder-esque swiping meets an infinite timeline of royalty? I'm in.
While a few things stop just stop it from being something truly special, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 feels like the first true successor to the Wii cult hit, and should not be missed by RPG fans.
Red Strings Club tells a beautiful, universal story about the nature of suffering and the right to feel it in an invitingly atmospheric setting.
