With over a dozen games in the long-running series, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart still manages to feel fresh and exciting, taking full advantage of the PlayStation 5 by delivering what, for many, may be their first taste at a definitive next-gen feeling game for the still-budding platform.
While not quite reaching the heights of its predecessor, Subnautica: Below Zero is still a survival game worth diving into.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is one of the finest remasters made to-date. For newcomers and veterans alike, it's the essential version of a must-play trilogy, honouring its strengths while smoothing out most of its faults.
Miitopia is whimsical in its opening hours, but becomes repetitive far too quickly.
Biomutant is the least fun I’ve had with a game in a while. Broken, shallow, and above all, BORING. This mutant should’ve stayed in the Ooze.
At the end of the day Wonder Boy Asha in Monster World is a no-frills remake that at times feels a little rough around the edges but ultimately does a well enough job in modernizing the 1994 classic.
Due to a myriad of technical hiccups, finicky controller support and some uneven changes, Disco Elyisum - The Final Cut is disappointingly not the best version of this otherwise sophisticated and ingenious game.
If you can adapt to its ruthless approach, Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster is a retro JRPG that’s worth revisiting. However, the remastering doesn’t go far enough, leaving PS2 quirks intact.
New Pokémon Snap earns it’s name—maintaining what made the original so beloved, but making it feel fresh and exciting!
Deiland: Pocket Planet seemed promising with all that it offered but ultimately fell flat, especially compared to all the other simulation games currently available.
Resident Evil Village raises the bar ever so slightly, but just enough for Capcom to maintain its grip in AAA survival horror experiences. For players, it might be hard to loosen their hands from the controller.
Narita Boy is visually stunning and packed with great ideas; but for everything it does right, you can see how it could’ve done better.
Returnal sets a new standard for Housemarque and delivers a must-play game for fans of roguelike titles while offering everyone else a genuinely unique experience. The game masterfully blends arcade-inspired gameplay with AAA quality chops usually reserved for a first-party PlayStation developer.
Total War: Rome Remastered is a fine remaster of a classic strategy game. If you haven’t played it, you really should.
While I can’t say Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is a bad game, it might not be a very good Switch game.
With its much-welcomed next-gen improvements in framerate, resolution, and load times plus the inclusion of all previously released DLC, the next-gen remaster of Judgment is hands-down the definitive version to own.
If nothing else, NieR: Replicant Ver. 1.22474487139 is a unique game even when held in contrast with its 2017 follow-up and a must-play for both fans of the original and those looking for something a little darker than a Final Fantasy or any number of anime-inspired JRPG titles.
MLB The Show 21 is not an easy game to get the hang of by any means, but it manages to make the experience a good one whether you’re winning or losing.
Quote not yet avaRepublic Commando reforms Delta Squad as a worthy tactical shooter on the Nintendo Switch, despite performance bugs which hinder an influential piece of Star Wars media. ilable
The Sinking City is not going to be a game for everyone. It’s quite a slog and there’s a ton of backtracking. But if you stick around, the story itself is really great and there’s some really fun and unique detective mechanics at play. It’s a shame the rest of the game didn’t get a better quality of life upgrade. Oh well, you can always just go read some H.P. Lovecraft, no loading times or glitches involved.
