A stunning visual achievement and a mediocre Metroidvania but despite that unevenness this is still an affecting interactive journey with real emotional resonance.
It might be missing the name but this is the best Wonder Boy game ever made, updating and expanding the original concepts into a perfect mix of new and old.
More than just XCOM with talking animals, this inventive strategy game has plenty of new ideas of its own – even it's a little lacking in replayability.
Still one of the most original and entertaining video games there's ever been, with a surreal sense of humour that permeates every corner of the gameplay and presentation.
Easily the best Smash Bros. ever made, with a fantastic new story campaign and a near infinite range of characters and options for multiplayer.
It's an improvement on the last game but as a franchise Just Cause is still squandering the majority of its potential with its banal mission design and dull storytelling.
A survival game that isn't out just to punish its players, but to entertain; with an impressive mix of exploration, crafting, and survival horror.
The cleverly-calibrated control system is the main point of interest here, but this is also an entertaining, if somewhat staid, take on VR Super Monkey Ball.
A labour of love that few are likely to appreciate – but if for some reason you did want a hand-drawn remake of Toki then this is your lucky year.
The best 2D shooters of the retro era return once again, with a good value package that has plenty for new fans and old.
The spirit of 90s arcade racing is reborn in a homage to everything from OutRun to Lotus Turbo Challenge, and despite a few bumps in the road it's all just as much fun as you remember.
While it packs in more content than its predecessors, RIDE 3 feels soulless and nonessential if you already own last year’s instalment.
A daring, and largely successful, attempt to show the civilian side of war, that succeeds as an interactive drama even when it occasionally fails as a game.
It commits no cardinal sins but this belated return to the world of Darksiders comes across as shallow, frustrating, and disappointingly dull.
Imaginative use of VR to make one of the best new music games of the generation, and which also manages to be the best Star Wars game never made.
A disastrous failure whose technical shortcomings may one day be fixed but whose design failings, and obliviousness to its own potential, suggests a game that is irrevocably broken.
Turf Wars makes good on continuing to flesh out Spider-Man’s story.
Its incremental improvements will appease fans but it does little to entice new players, in what is still a very dry and demanding sim that's devoid of character.
One of the best PC to console ports ever, with the strategy great working impressively well on the Switch and opening up the series to a whole new audience.
Remakes so good they flatter the original games, but whether or not they deserve this level of star treatment the end result is three enjoyable and accessible 3D platformers for all ages.
