It plays as well as the series ever has, and is far more accessible than previous entries, but there's infinite for improvement in terms of the roster and presentation.
Despite a disappointing story campaign this is a notably improved sequel, whose endless loops of addiction feel far more honest and rewarding than the first game.
Still the best non-Mario platformer ever made and a stunning work of imagination, but if anything this is the worst version so far – not the best.
An exceptionally good expansion that adds in a mountain of new content that specifically addresses the few flaws there were with the original.
A superb remake of Metroid II and the best 2D entry since Super Metroid, that doesn't compromise at all in terms of challenge, complexity, or atmosphere.
At times it seems indistinguishable from last year's game, but the slower play speed and improved controls work well and make this the best PES yet.
A surprisingly good port of a purposefully old school computer role-player, that proves even the most PC of games can work on consoles.
On a technical level this is clearly a better game than its infamous predecessor, but it's still nowhere near as fun as it should be thanks to its bland design and characters.
It often feels unrefined and unbalanced, but the uniquely tactical combat system, and Dark Souls influences, create one of the most enjoyably different fighting games of recent years.
Half the price it originally was, but now twice as good – this third person take on Metroid Prime has been remastered into the game it always should have been.

Despite owing so much to XCOM, this is a fantastically imaginative and enjoyable strategy game that's as accessible as the genre has ever been on consoles.
An excellent start to a prequel series that taps into the same style of sincere storytelling as the original, making a previously unsympathetic character seem vulnerable and likeable.
Undertale is a superb indie role-player that proves once again that it's not graphics that make a game entertaining but gameplay and great ideas.
Nowhere close to the arcade perfection of Resogun or Nex Machina, this undercooked action platformer lacks the precise controls and instant appeal of its stablemates.
An obnoxious and repetitive open world game that does its best to hide the fact that it's a surprisingly decent third person shooter.
A pleasingly complex and realistic survival simulator, accompanied by a story mode that so far fails to be anywhere near as compelling.
A touching, and highly playable, labour of love by fans that understand Sonic The Hedgehog better than Sega ever has in the last 20+ years.
One of the best arena shooters of recent years, but its high skill requirement and bland characters create an unfortunately high barrier to entry.
A mild improvement on the season one debut, but while the first episode offers some shock value it still lacks depth in both storytelling and gameplay.
