An incredible achievement in role-playing game design, in terms of the level of freedom and interactivity – although even ignoring the bugs it's not quite as consistent as you might hope.
A full-on space opera looter shooter RPG, that is brimming with content and exciting combat set pieces, but which doesn't quite know when to stop before it starts to feel repetitive.
One of the best arcade games of recent years is now available on Switch and it's just as ugly and joyfully addictive as ever – especially with the new co-op mode.
One of the best remasters ever made, that actively improves the original game, in terms of graphics, AI, and the enormous volume of content.
A superior multiplayer co-op sequel, which maximises its novel premise with improved level design and a flood of clever new ideas.
A combat-heavy action RPG with fun fights and spectacular landscapes, that's brought down by glitches, fiddly navigation, and an over-reliance on fetch quests.
The closing decision ends the first episode on a promisingly divisive note, which might make repeat playthroughs, to explore different outcomes, more enticing than usual. At the moment, with four more episodes to go over the next two months, Telltale’s The Expanse is, in some respects, a step forward, but it isn’t enough to generate much enthusiasm beyond the devoted audience it’s shooting for. Telltale is back and, for the most part, it’s more of the same.
An occasionally interesting attempt to update the Double Dragon formula, which understands the appeal of the original but fails to offer any longevity or variety.
A Disney-infused Metroidvania Jr., with a gradually increasing challenge that's ideal for children and, in its latter stages, offers enough inventiveness for grown-up players as well.
A significant improvement on the last game and one of the best Soulslikes of recent years, with excellent use of procedural generation and so much variety it's almost impossible to see everything.
Far more than just a match-three puzzler, Clash Of Heroes is a unique strategy role-playing hybrid that has a massive amount to offer in terms of both its solo campaign and multiplayer.
A very peculiar online shooter that manages to be both quietly original and shamelessly derivative all at the same time. It does have dinosaurs in it though and that counts for a lot.
Nintendo successfully reinvents Pikmin as a Stardew Valley style cosy game, that's both much bigger and more approachable than ever before.
A highly imaginative puzzle game whose clever concepts are frequently used in the least appealing way possible – although they're imaginative enough that the game remains engaging despite itself.
Feather Cup is one of the best selections in the whole of the DLC line-up, while Cherry Cup is one of the worst. That term is always relative when it comes to Mario Kart, though, and even the most boring course is still fun if you’re playing with other people.
Three great 2D shooters, lovingly recreated and, in the case of RayStorm and RayCrisis, updated for the modern era – even if some corners have been cut.
This slightly spooky sequel continues its tale of real people in strange situations, picking up the story and characters of Oxenfree and retaining its style and puzzle-adjacent gameplay.
Classic co-op party-gaming fare that's unpretentious and very quick to pick up. It may be just a little too similar to Overcooked. but given how rare local co-op games are this is a welcome riff on a familiar theme.
A beautiful and exquisitely violent ballet of gunfire and telekinesis, that feels incredible to play but lacks the challenge or variety for long term play.
A wonderfully strange and imaginative indie adventure that delights in terms of its visuals, storytelling, and enjoyably unpredictable gameplay.
