A flawed remake of one of the Sega Saturn's most recognisable classics, that fumbles the controls and visual upgrade and yet remains a relatively enjoyable homage.
It often feels a little undercooked but the emphasis on teamplay and some very unusual characters offers an enjoyable alternative to other online multiplayer games.
A great game for novice fighting game players, with some interestingly unique ideas, but the bland fantasy world and lack of playable characters lessen its impact.
An incredible technical achievement but one that is surprisingly short of genuinely new ideas, and often struggles to get the balance right between VR showpiece and satisfying gameplay experience.
A whimsical and engrossing VR puzzle adventure, who's lack of hand-holding and gentle discoveries prove consistently engaging and relaxing.
An unfairly neglected part of the Doom canon is given the remaster it most certainly deserves, in what is one of the most welcome retro remasters of recent years.
A significant improvement on the reboot and while there are still a few flaws the core combat is some of the best in any first person shooter this generation.
Animal Crossing finally gets a sequel that moves the franchise forward, in a surprisingly timely release that is perfect for this year in terms of both its gameplay and its philosophy.
It's not changed much but what improvements there are, are all positive in what remains the best Dark Souls clone not made by From Software.
It may not be able to claim much originality compared to its predecessor, or Metroidvania games in general, but this is still one of the best examples of its craft this generation.
One of the best remakes ever, not because of its loving recreation of the original Half-Life but because it dares to change and improve it.
A fun, fairly brief campaign that offers plenty of memorable scenarios and a suite of improvements that turn The Division 2 into a true contender for the looter shooter throne.
A highly enjoyable action romp, with a winning sense of humour and a hugely entertaining range of unusually varied weapons.
A thoroughly uninteresting roguelike that undermines the most compelling elements of both the genre and the Pokémon universe.
Space Channel 5's dancing aliens and high camp work well in VR, but with only around half an hour of gameplay this represents astoundingly poor value for money.
A gruelling and protracted stat-management simulation, with paltry interactions and stilted dialogue that's entirely removed from the actual process of parenting.
An unexpectedly enhanced version of one of the best action games of the PS2 era, which even now offers better and deeper combat than most modern rivals.
An inspired mix of survival horror and battle royale that also manages to blend competitive and co-operative gameplay into a terrifyingly entertaining whole.
Another good value expansion pass from Nintendo, that doesn't quite make up for the flaws of the parent game but does manage to emphasise its most positive qualities.
With its launch problems well behind it, Street Fighter 5 is no longer a disgrace to the family name, with the Champion Edition able to take on any other fighter this generation.
