Dragon Quest XI S: Definitive Edition is true to its title in terms of new content and features. If you can deal with a slight visual downgrade, the improved performance certainly makes it a better experience overall.
Despite its grindy economy system, Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate offers hours of engaging content, including the meaty and enticing story mode. While not quite as deep as some of the Japanese fighters out there, the new additions to the combat make it a joy and thrill to play.
Too ambitious for its own good, Cyberpunk 2077 attempts to do too much and falters in its execution as a result. Despite its issues, it’s better than the sum of its parts and might be worth checking out for fans of action RPGs.
Godfall’s structural failings hinder its promising foundation from realizing its potential.
No More Heroes 1 and 2 have aged like a fine wine. These cult-classics have found a new life with the definitive way to experience them on the Nintendo Switch.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity engaging combat system holds the experience together amidst a half-hearted attempt at a prequel.
Fans of horror games looking to play Observer: System Redux for the first time will find an immersive and thrilling experience albeit with some odd jank here and there. Meanwhile, those who’ve already experienced the original may want to wait for a sale.
While not everything sticks the landing, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is a well-rounded package that’s bound to have something or the other for Call of Duty fans.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is a good remaster if you haven't played this classic WRPG, but it also shows how far the genre has advanced since 2012.
The latest entry in The Dark Pictures Anthology delivers on the scares but really drops the ball during the run-up to its lackluster ending.
Pokémon Sword and Shield: The Crown Tundra is a solid expansion that culminates the expansion pass on a highly positive note with a slew of new features and improvements.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is a wonderful platformer that offers the same wacky but difficult gameplay of its predecessors, but with a modern twist added to them.
Ghostrunner’s trial-and-error gameplay caters to the hardcore community but leaves the rest a little frustrated. There’s a fun experience hidden deep within the game, but to get there you have to, well, get good!
Kirby Fighters 2 is a simple fighting game that is designed to be fun without being overwhelming or complex. The grinding nature of its unlockables somewhat holds it back but the game is solid fun in multiplayer with up to four players.
Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a flawed port but includes an exceptional collection of games. It offers a good stopgap between the next 3D Mario and should be a delight for fans of the Italian plumber.
Paper Mario: The Origami King is a fun-filled adventure that manages to keep things fresh, however, the puzzle-based battles tend to feel repetitive. Despite the repetitive combat, the boss battles are easily some of the best seen in the series.
As a remake of one of the most iconic games, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 offers heaps of fun and it is worth the bang for your bucks.
Crusader Kings III’s role-playing elements take the center stage, with your choices leading to a plethora of possible outcomes. The wargame side of things is less engaging, however, as battles are largely a strength in numbers affair. Regardless, whether you play solo or online, there are many hours of gameplay hidden beneath the surface of what is effectively a Medieval Sims game.
Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is an exceptional attempt for a licensed Samura Jack game. It does suffer from some repetitive gameplay but for the most part, this is a solid action game.
The Last of Us Part 2 is a brutal tale that is not easy to digest, but the result is an experience that will stay with us for a long time to come.
