A competent Soulslike lifted by its alternate history premise and Parisian setting, but it's not quite enough to compete with its obvious inspirations.
Technically this is the best Splatoon ever, but the complete lack of anything approaching a new idea is profoundly disappointing.
Nothing less than a whole new genre of video game, that evolves the interactive movie into something that feels dynamic and excitingly different.
A completely pointless remake of one of the best games of the last decade, except with only half the content and at double the price.
A frustrating mix of the best and worst of Persona results in a disappointing Shin Megami Tensei spin-off that prioritises streamlined gameplay over innovation.
One of the best retro compilations ever made… for a collection of games that, despite the nostalgia, really don't deserve the attention.
A competent, if unwarranted, remake of an amiable 90s platformer that most people have long since forgotten – if they're even aware it existed in the first place.
A tragically outdated open world adventure that almost has more in common with Goat Simulator than Grand Theft Auto, despite some moderately entertaining mechanics.
A bit sickly, even for those with an excessively sweet tooth, this low rent Kirby spin-off is a poor follow-up to The Forgotten Land and has nowhere near the longevity of Fall Guys.
A polished, witty mix of golf sim, platformer, and roguelike that offers sterling value for money but can't quite overcome an increasing sense of repetition.
A sleek skating hybrid with plenty of compelling ideas and some stylish presentation, but the longer it goes on the more frustrating it becomes.
A clever management sim that pays homage to both the arcades of the 1990s and the exquisite drudgery of teenage jobs.
Turning a demonic cult into a management simulator is an amusing idea but the cute graphics are the only lasting entertainment to be had from this misjudged muddle of a game.
A flawed superhero adventure even when it was first released, but the passage of time and a superior follow-up makes this a difficult recommendation at such a high price.
If the course pass was more expensive it’d be easier to take umbrage with that, but at less than 50p a track it’s very hard to see this as anything other than another welcome excuse to replay Mario Kart 8 and some of the series’ best courses.
A delightful, humour-infused, and very British university management simulator with Nintendo-esque levels of polish and depth that's introduced so gently you barely notice it.
Another major success for Monolith Soft; Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is a contender for the Nintendo Switch's best role-playing game and one of its most impressive technical achievements.
MultiVersus has some shortcomings; stages feel uninspired and the controls don’t feel quite as tactile or satisfying compared to Nintendo’s fighting king, but this is an impressive foundation for what could become a genuine competitor.
The 1994 original has some unfortunate flaws, that this remake doesn't try to fix, but in terms of graphics, soundtrack, and sheer invention this is one of the best Japanese role-players of any era.
A worthy follow-up to the original coin-op collection but the selection of games never feels quite as varied or vital, and the continued lack of museum features is a shame.
