Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 has been a total blast to play, showcasing what can be achieved when a lot of heart and focus go into making a game.
A fun world to explore; odd characters that you meet only add to the game's overall appeal. Wheel World has impressed with its art style and the quality of the story.
Islanders: New Shores is an awesomely relaxing puzzler with some optimized features to enhance it from the original. This is a great way to laze on a Sunday afternoon or during breaks in a busy day.
I'm delighted to have now completed Bravely Default, as the story was fantastic, and I grew to love the characters. The grindiness of the RPG elements, as well as the second half of the game, might turn some players off, however, so I can only advise that it's worth sticking it out.
Mario Kart World is simply the best-looking, sounding, and playing Mario Kart game we've had. With new additions like doubling the player count of Knockout Tour, it's clear that Nintendo has plenty of ways to improve and expand this long-running franchise
I was surprised by which elements of Welcome Tour I ended up enjoying the most, even if this is ultimately an interactive encyclopedia for the Nintendo Switch 2.
The visual nostalgia, combined with the engaging gameplay and mechanics, makes this game truly shine. It is rare to find hand-drawn adventure platformers that offer a range of puzzles and a great story; however, this game ticks all those boxes.
A deeply impactful narrative, with characters you'll care about, and a world like nothing else, are the highlights of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
By slightly modifying the core gameplay while preserving the gunplay and fast-paced action, id Software ensures that each new release in the Doom series remains a blood-soaked must-play, even with Doom: The Dark Ages having mixed results with the additions of the titan and dragon.
I wasn't ready for the breadth of lore and world-building here that would have me both enamoured by this game, its characters, and its setting.
Big Helmet Heroes is a fun, solo or couch-coop game that is played with friends or family.
It wasn’t for me, and I can accept that. And sometimes, that’s perfectly okay.
This was one of the most exciting new Call of Duty launches in many years, mainly because it’s the first COD release since Xbox purchased Activision, but also because Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was doing some new and innovative things.
This is a gorgeous world with plenty of detail within levels that feels quite hollow and lacks both the excitement of exploring Horizon Zero Dawn and destroying the world, which is usually pieced together in a LEGO game.
I would recommend Max Mustard to anyone looking for a good excuse to pick up their VR headset again.
Everyone should play Neva. With a story mode for anyone who hates combat and a narrative that can be taken at a surface level or delved further into, this is something exceptional gamers of all types and ages should be playing.
Help back by some clunky and tedious design elements, this is still a narrative worth sinking your claws into.
A magical journey from start to finish that hooked me from page to page.
I recommend this game to anyone, young or old, who enjoys 3D platformers with a few twists.
A true must-play for 2024 and all PlayStation 5 owners, Astro Bot, rekindles a feeling of simplicity in the joy we can find in video games like nothing else this console generation.
