A powerful and fitting end to the beginning of Lara Croft’s legend.
Two Point Hospital has been able to successful scratch the itch that all Theme Hospital fans have been yearning for. Unlike certain titles in which nostalgia goggles have a tendency to skew one's impression of a game more favourably, Two Point Hospital has been able to make a successful leap to the modern era of gaming.
Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Spider-Man is a spectacular adventure that combines comic book goodness and gameplay magic. The resulting concoction is a sensational one that will leave you wanting more.
While Overcooked 2 does not have many core upgrades from the original title released back in 2016, the overall feel of the title is much tighter right now, control and game progression wise. If you’re looking to get into the game with a brand new set of friends for each session, go for the more forgiving story mode as opposed to arcade mode. Overcooked 2 should be the go-to party title for any Switch owner in their library.
Pulling off a rich, expertly-weaved narrative for a dystopian title is no mean feat, and the team at Compulsive Games managed to do so. Buoyed by beautiful visuals but brought down heavily by combat mechanics and the hefty price tag, it would perhaps be more accurate for We Happy Few to be titled We Okay Few instead. Steam sale anyone?
This game is a good way to catch up with the Full Metal Panic!‘s story before you embark on watching the 4th season. Gameplay requires patience and can be repetitive, but the story makes the game worth playing.
Unless you're looking for single-player gameplay or a co-op cooking game on the cheap, you're better off picking up the more polished Overcooked instead.
Relive your early gaming days (or your parents’ early gaming days) again with new characters, new stages, and new modes for an already fantastic game. You’ll get an even bigger nostalgia kick and an excellent 2D platformer that still runs very, very fast.
At USD$19.99, Mushroom Wars 2 is one of those games you should consider picking up if you’ve exhausted all the other local multiplayer games on the Nintendo eShop. It takes a specific personality and group of friends to thoroughly enjoy this title. Due to its fast-paced action, players will be able to easily squeeze in multiple rounds per session which is perfectly suited for on-the-go gaming.
Traveller’s Tales lands a brand new property to plug into their tried and tested LEGO gameplay, but I had hoped for something a bit less on their usual path.
Finally, a Warhammer 40K title that scratches the action rpg itch. However, it's not the best in the genre but if given time (and patches) Inquisitor Martyr could etch itself as one of the must plays in the Warhammer universe.
A delightful puzzle platformer that retains the charm of the original and improves everything else for a grand time.
Dark Souls Remastered is exactly how good ol’ Dark Souls is, but now all decked out in all its enhanced visual glory. It’s the perfect welcome for old fans, and the best way to experience the unforgiving world of Lordran for newer players. Oh, and you’ll still die.
A good, competent survival game that builds on the original, State of Decay 2 has plenty to love, but also plenty to improve on.
An authentic experience that brings a tabletop game to an interactive medium, Battletech is a purist's dream come true.
With the right balance of solo, co-op and versus play, Son of a Witch is certainly a delightful charm of a game. Its lighthearted nature doesn't allow for much depth in storytelling, but the adorable aesthetics, simple game mechanics, and casual fun more than makes up for that. If you're looking to have a good time, this is what you should be looking out for – be warned, however, for it can be quite the challenge for newcomers. Tread on, brave warrior.
Detroit: Become Human continues PlayStation 4’s run of tremendous AAA exclusives with an engaging story and captivating characters that keeps you wanting more.
Adorable graphics and interesting weapons make this roguelike shooter a joy to play.
A decent attempt at recreating the magic of the Metroidvania genre, A Robot Named Fight! deserves a shot from fans of the genre.
A great attempt at modernizing the JRPG, Battle Chasers: Nightwar is but a few steps away from being truly great.
