An initially fascinating murder mystery that descends into repetition for its final two-thirds. A real shame.
Enjoyable, but not as engaging as previous entries, Wolfenstein: Youngblood does a good job of attempting to branch the series out from its trademark style.
New Star Manager ups the ante as you step up from footballer to football manager. The football remains great fun but the rest will work for some and not others. The PlayStation version looks, sounds and runs fine but the Switch's stick and touch screen combo would be preferred.
An amusing and beautiful way to spend a few hours. Don't forget to send a postcard.
Etherborn is beautifully constructed yet flawed in its execution, but you shouldn't miss out on this short foray into a topsy-turvy puzzle world built with dream-logic.
What Riverbond lacks in depth, it makes up for with wonderful simplicity. Potentially too basic as a single-player game, but it's a silly, upbeat and nostalgic adventure best played with friends.
The Sinking City is an ambitious attempt to bring a fresh take to the world of Lovecraft. If you're an unabashed fan of the lore, or don't mind repetitive gameplay, you'll enjoy what's on offer here. Otherwise, you'll probably end up going slowly mad.
F1 2019 raises the bar once again for F1 games. Whilst more hardcore racers will still prefer something like iRacing or Assetto Corsa, casual players and F1 fanatics will wholeheartedly enjoy their time here, regardless of their skill level.
The Twilight Garden DLC successfully builds upon existing puzzle mechanics with new items and skills, and contributes to the lore of Moss' simple but endearing story — a timely reminder of one of the sweetest platformers that VR has to offer.
A unique and traditional atmosphere gives way to repetition in this competent but limited fright-fest.
My Friend Pedro is a reminder of the great things a single person can achieve when they have a clear vision and the skills to deliver it. The polish afforded by working with Devolver is the cherry on the cake. Nice one, Victor.
Draugen's story might not meet the quality of its visuals, but it's an engaging few hours nonetheless.
Whilst it may not challenge Mario Kart as the king of arcade kart racing, Team Sonic Racing's twist on the genre makes it distinctive enough to discourage comparisons to Nintendo's classic.
A visually arresting and occasionally gripping sci-fi drama, weighed down by a clunky interface and poor pacing.
Full of teeth, blood, and personality, Killing Floor: Double Feature is a great opportunity to get stuck into the series if you're yet to do so.
OTTTD is a great example of taking a straightforward type of genre like tower defense and adding just enough of a twist to it to make it stand out. Whilst the lack of touch controls limit its fluidity on such a mobile platform, its bite-sized nature suits the Switch perfectly.
Oh, what a day! What a lovely day! Rage 2 comes screaming into the world adorned with pink neon and a stinking attitude problem. Big guns, fast cars, blood-soaked combat and a ridiculous sense of fun make for one of the most thoroughly entertaining games of 2019.
If you're going to charge big for DLC, you better deliver big. Leviathans has content, but it's locked behind dozens of hours of standard playthrough. It does make small, indiscernible improvements to the base game but you can, and should, wait for a sale and pick it up then.
An average enough experience while it lasts, the best thing about this easy and short puzzler is the visuals, but the credit for that really lies with Fritz Kahn.
Wastelands' thrilling finale means it's a step up from Rules, but it makes a few missteps in its handling of the brothers' relationship to get there.
