A stunning new world and powerful abilities await in Destiny 2: Beyond Light, but all the good is outweighed by the amount of content Bungie threw in the Destiny Content Vault, forcing future Seasons to pick up the slack.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope tells an intriguing and spooky story that’s well worth a playthrough for any horror fans, even if the ending leaves a bit to be desired.

With the same old-school gameplay and plenty of welcome additions, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is a worthy sequel to the original trilogy.

DOOM Eternal – The Ancient Gods – Part One is a fantastic addition to an already stellar experience, providing more challenge, interesting new levels, and an engaging narrative that will leave you clamoring for more. Some may be turned off by the two-part structure, but if you want more DOOM Eternal now, The Ancient Gods – Part One is bound to satisfy.

Death end re;Quest 2 is both brave and surprising. It’s got a strong sense of direction and it exudes Compile Heart’s confidence in its idea and narrative, which complements a powerful combat engine that encourages creative experimentation. It’s definitely one for the more patient players, but any JRPG fan — or anyone with an open mind — would do well to pick it up.

Although there’s a bit less to the game than I’d have hoped for, Star Wars: Squadrons is well worth the price of admission, and there’s plenty of enjoyment to be found.

Projection: First Light is a beautifully designed Australian gem that still needs a lot of refining before it can be a viable option in the puzzle-platforming arena.

Unscored - Hades
Oct 3, 2020

Hades is a lesson in taking the best of a number of genres and combining them into a smooth, slick gaming experience that players will be eager to return to.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars doesn’t exactly go overboard on making its selection of games seem overly new, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that three of the greatest 3D platformers of all time have come together in one star-studded collection.

Vaporum: Lockdown offers a well-made, compact dungeon crawling experience with enough content to keep any RPG fan interested — it’s just a shame that it does so little to stand out amidst its peers.

Kingdoms of Amalur’s remaster did little to change the game: the combat and character progression are as timeless as ever, but everything else is still eight years old.

Adventures of Pip basks in its unoriginality. A love letter to old-school platformers, it manages to be a delightful romp with charming music and tight controls. Developer Tic Toc Games could have done more with its resolution-swapping hero, but it’s a fun time regardless — and definitely worth experiencing for the first time on the Switch.

While the prospect of a multiplayer Avengers game is ripe with potential, Marvel’s Avengers is an experience stuck between two worlds. While its campaign is worth experiencing if you’re a fan, it’s hard to deny that the combat, gearing system, and presentation values are underbaked, leaving the core experience uninteresting and flat.

If you’re looking for a short distraction from life, you could do worse than this bright and colourful dating sim that, while it falls short of its potential, delivers a pleasingly diverse cast of characters and cute dogs.

Unscored - MO: Astray
Sep 12, 2020

An excellent, original game experience that you should be furious that you didn’t know about, MO:Astray offers a blend of intrigue, fun and complexity that is few and far between in games of any genre.

Loved - A Short Hike
Sep 7, 2020

Although A Short Hike is — as the name suggests — a rather short game, its combination of humour and emotion captures the player in a way that many AAA games fail to. If you’ve got a spare $10 and a couple of hours to kill, definitely pick up A Short Hike for the Nintendo Switch!

Mortal Shell takes the best elements of the “Souls-like” genre and refines them into a compact game that doesn’t overstay its welcome.

Recommended - Metamorphosis
Aug 18, 2020

As a retelling of three of Franz Kafka’s best-known works, Metamorphosis has a lot to live up to and it does so quite well. It will leave you wanting a little more after your playthrough, but the gameplay, visuals and genuine attention to detail are extremely impressive nonetheless.

Boomerang Fu delivers a deliciously smooth combat experience that begs to be shared with friends and family, serving fun and chaos in heaping amounts that will definitely bring you back for seconds and thirds.

In its current state, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is funny, thrilling and a joy to play, but as with many games like it, future content will be key in deciding whether it’s a long-term success like Fortnite and Rocket League. For now, though, anyone with a PlayStation Plus subscription would be doing themselves a disservice to not at least check it out — and those on other platforms are sure to get a fair bit of fun out of it as well.
