As this sort of game always did, it remains a fairly pointless one-player experience that comes alive when playing with a friend or two. For nostalgic fans of the genre, it will serve up a treat, albeit one that doesn't last all that long.
Ash of Gods: Redemption's visual flair and varied narrative choices aren't enough to keep a keep its tedious battle system and baffling writing afloat.
A fun family game, or something to play post-pub with your mates (ah, those were the pre-lockdown days), this might put an end to friends suddenly being busy if you ask them to help you move house.
ITTA feels like a game made for the hardcore, bullet-hell obsessives out there that's friendly for less hardcore players who want to experience the story. It's short, and not quite perfect on Switch, but it's a strong game nonetheless.
Receiver 2 is the only game that properly simulates how firearms work while also offering a campy story and nice-looking visuals.
Help Will Come Tomorrow is a video game instead of a survival experience, which is fine provided that players aren't looking for anything deeper than something to kill a bit of time.
Although marred by poor acting and inconsistent writing, Cloudpunk is visually and audibly impressive. Take things slow and you'll get the best experience out of it.
MotoGP 20 is a top notch recreation of one of the fastest series on two wheels. The career mode is entertaining, especially if you decide to take on being a new team. Visually stunning, audibly arresting and just downright fun to play when you get the hang of it, MotoGP 20 is a must for any serious fan of the sport.
Although sometimes frustrating and obtuse, The Procession to Calvary is a surreal and uniquely funny game well worth the pocket change you'll spend on it.
A lovingly animated and clever point-and-click which, despite issues with pacing and signposting, is still likely to capture many hearts.
In Other Waters plays like a visual novel with more depth and better graphics, which makes it a perfect game for players to relax in provided they don't mind coming up with how the game's creatures look by themselves.
One Step From Eden has an interesting premise, surprisingly deep mechanics and an insane amount of content, but as a result of unfair bosses and no tutorial, it's a tough sell to anyone who isn't a diehard fan of the genre.
With more tracks and stages than you can shake a stick at, DiRT 2.0: Game of the Year edition barrels on sideways whilst welcoming back the name that started it all: Colin McRae. Despite a lacklustre feel when using a wheel, there's still a very impressive rally simulation hidden away inside just waiting for you to turn the key.
A solid enough entry into the beat-em-up genre, but one that is only really enjoyable if you're invested in the One Piece universe.
Much like a straight-to-DVD sequel, Resident Evil 3 is enjoyable on its own brief terms. While the game it's riffing on is excellent, it feels like a rehash rather than a remake.
Much like BOT C facing up against the trials inside the mountain, the few hurdles Creature in the Well faces doesn't stop it from being an outstanding game. Challenging, rewarding and (mostly) a pleasure to play, it is the epitome of creativity in the indie game space.
Nioh 2 softens the blow of its demanding combat by giving the player myriad ways to decapitate an enemy. An absolute joy to learn how to play.
Short, sweet and clunky, Assemble With Care has a wholesome message at its core, but the compromises made in porting its controls to PC mean that the mobile version is the recommended choice, assuming you have an Apple device.
Even for a game aimed at the Disney Junior crowd, there are much better options out there. Play any other 3D platformer instead.
Wilfully frenetic, Paper Beast is by turns highly detailed and oddly lacking. Despite this unevenness, this is a game with plenty to show off.
