Agent 47 arrives on Nintendo’s new console in a somewhat technically troubled port of his best set of adventures ever with Hitman: World of Assassination – Signature Edition.
Survival Kids tries and fails to rekindle an old Konami franchise by bringing it to the Switch 2, but ends up leaving it stranded and to fend for its own.
So far, The Alters is the most compelling and intriguing game I’ve played this year.
Mario Kart World is not only a great first-party launch game for the Switch 2, but it’s also one of the best entries in the franchise to date.
Roadcraft is at its best when careful use of several different vehicles has big effects on these beautiful, dynamic environments. On the early map “Sunken”, this comes when – after a sequence of tasks are completed – two flooded quarries are drained using new pumps the player has installed. As the water drains away, a new landscape is revealed, along with valuable items that can be sold for profit and the tantalising promise of new challenges ahead. If Saber can deliver these moments consistently, Roadcraft could be a valued fixture of the sim landscape for years to come.
Khazan borrows heavily from Team Ninja’s work, both for good and bad (but mostly good).
If you have children or are a child at heart, to a T is a heartwarming adventure with plenty of laughs along the way.
Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo rebounds onto the scene with plenty of charm and clever gameplay, much like the games that came before it.
Haneda Girl is an electrifyingly fun action platformer with a fantastic aesthetic and a bashing soundtrack.
Monster Train 2 is a quick to get into roguelike deck builder that plays into the tired genre’s strengths and still manages to provide a worthwhile time for those who buy into it.
This new version of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is well worth jumping in. It’s an excellent example of how well games of its ilk were developed and that it’s imperative to look past outdated character models in order to see that they’re still incredibly playable to this day.
Best Served Cold is an investigative visual novel which merges bartending detective work to create a novel cocktail.
The Rogue Prince of Persia plays brilliantly and as it approaches 1.0, it already plays and feels like one of the best roguelikes around.
All in all, Rift of the Necrodancer is an absolute blast, even if I’m a tone deaf dud at it. It’s colorful, has some creatively funny writing, and the sheer creativity at play when it comes to its challenges is simply insane. It’s no surprise Brace Yourself Games ended up being called by Nintendo to develop a game based on Zelda. They are on another level of creativity that only grows greater with each new release. I at the same time am anxious and dread what they will come up with next. The only assurance is that I’ll probably suck at playing it but am likely to love it.
The hard-boiled hard rock detective is back with one hell of a hangover and an arm’s length of bills to pay in Kathy Rain 2.
Don’t pass up the chance to enjoy the best of one of the most traditional fighting game developer’s catalog with Capcom Fighting Collection 2.
Bethesda’s remaster of its 2006 original Oblivion comes at a time when the actions of its parent company are under significant scrutiny.
Bionic Bay has a unique pixel art aesthetic which coats a need for deep reserves of precision and patience.
Developed by Fallen Tree Games, The Precinct has you playing from the other side of the law in a spin on the classic GTA formula.
While not mind blowingly original, Shotgun Cop Man succeeds in what it aims for, making it for a much more approachable game that a wider array of players might have a better chance at finishing and at the same time proving that Devolver’s curation is still as sharp as ever.
