    This is one of my favourite Switch games of all time. It's fast, fun, challenging, has excellent level design, thumping music and good replayability. It supports gyro aiming too, which is absolutely brilliant.

    But why only 7/10? As so many Switch games, this too suffers from bad optimisation. The 3D graphics in docked mode looks no better than 480p-540p.

    But why only 7/10? As so many Switch games, this too suffers from bad optimisation. The 3D graphics in docked mode looks no better than 480p-540p. In the first few chapters the framerate locks to a good 60fps. But unfortunately, later in the game there are huge slowdowns. During the last 3 chapters expect periods of drops down in the 20s.

    Neon White immediately puts you in a flow from which it is difficult to escape, in the quest to be just a tenth of a second faster and thus achieve the highest medal. The attractive graphic style finishes it off, making Neon White one of the sleeper hits of this summer and perhaps all year.

    Neon White is a hidden gem. The team of Ben Esposito and Geneva Hodgson brings us an ode to first-person gaming and undoubtedly one of the top games of the year.

    It gets its hooks in deep and fast, but the true fun and challenge in Neon White becomes apparent the more you play it.
