Mario Tennis Aces functions best as a local, couch game. There's no better fun than gathering a group of mates, having some drinks and wiling away the night with game after game of Mario Tennis.
Dark Souls Remastered remains a truly wonderful example of modern game design. It’s great for people like me who missed it the first time around and for fans, it’s another chance to Praise the Sun.
Any fans of Street Fighter owe it to themselves to pick this one up. These are 12 of the best 2D fighting games ever released and to have them all in one package is excellent.
For any fans of classic SEGA games, this is a must-have. You’ll certainly get excited and have those moments of remembering playing these as a kid.
Vampyr, from Life is Strange dev DONTNOD, is a unique beast. It plays with some interesting, and often great, ideas, but it never quite bites down. Choosing instead to play with its food rather than embracing the sumptuous meal on offer.
The tale of Will, a man who wants so badly to rise above his station in life and achieve great adventures, will resonate with many. Paired with an addictive gameplay loop and beautiful respect for inspiring art, Moonlighter is well worth the price of admission.
City of Brass could have been a truly fun game but falls short in its rogue-lite aspirations. The lack of engaging story, frustrating combat, uninspired levels and unsatisfying loot make this a chore.
For a game from an indie studio, Yonder is surprisingly robust, polished and large. If you’re after a different kind of experience, that’s peaceful and relaxing, Yonder might just do the trick
Detroit's weighty themes could have been its undoing, but somehow David Cage has written a nuanced, thoughtful script that delivers on its promise. Detroit Become Human is a must play and an absolute work of art.
For a VR experience, Rick & Morty Virtual Rick-ality is one of the best around. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to jump back in and take Roy off the grid
It seems like it will be a very long time before you would find yourself playing the same mission on the same map multiple times. Combining this with all of the new skins, guns and abilities to unlock makes for a compelling reason to jump in and play pretty regularly.
The impact Frostpunk can have on the player is truly remarkable.
Well worth a look if you like survival games
The Banner Saga is just as good as it’s ever been on Switch and maybe even better thanks to the Switch’s portability.
If you’re looking for a unique puzzle game with great art and a hook, the Framed Collection is perfect for you.
For addictive, zombie apocalypse simulators, you can’t do better than State of Decay 2.
With a deep loot system, multiple characters, secondary paths and randomly generated dungeons, Dragon’s Crown Pro is a game for those who are looking for a grind that’s both fun and rewarding.
In a market flooded with first and third-person-shooters, games that play it safe and game after game after game that could be a reskinned version of the one before, Pillars of Eternity 2 is a big, beautiful breath of fresh air.
Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition is a great game for any Legend of Zelda fan
Warmind isn’t the content I wanted it to be. But it does give a positive sign that Bungie is trying. Is it repeating some mistakes of the past? Sure.
