Mega Man and tower-defence fans that don't mind a more casual experience will more than likely be happy with Spacejacked, other players may be turned off by length.

The game might sound like little more than a gimmick complicate a simple n’ successful puzzle formula, but it’s surprising how well the battle system works on it’s own terms.

Atelier Shallie Plus: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea is a pretty shoddy port, but the game itself is a charming, arresting adventure with loads of content and depth.

When Jusant works as intended, it’s a calming, peaceful experience that’s occasionally let down by some somewhat underwhelming functionality.

Apotheon is never a bad game, and occasionally, it’s even a great game, but it’s never consistently great enough to become a classic in the same way other indie titles like Journey have.

Ys: Memories of Celceta doesn’t shine quite as brightly as it did when it was a handheld exclusive, but it’s perfect for fans of the Ys series and anyone looking to speed through a shorter JRPG.

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.

Though it may be one of the weaker Zelda games, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is a good adventure in its own right.

Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island has some interesting ideas, but may be a bit too slow for some players.

At $10, Kero Blaster is pushing it in terms of justifying its price point, but there's no denying that it's a silly, well-crafted little game that feels good and oozes charisma.

Curse of the Moon is a nostalgic trip back to the era of classic Castlevania games, warts and all.

Nobody Saves the World is a unique and charming action RPG, but it’s held back by some frustrating decisions and a disappointing beginning and end.

Destiny takes the best parts of Halo and combines them with the worst parts of Borderlands.

Calling The Longest Five Minutes a deconstruction of 8- and 16-bit RPG tropes is only half-true, as it turns around and reconstructs those same tropes by journey's end. Still, it's a brisk and amusing adventure that knows how to play to its strengths.

For every step in the right direction, NBA2K19’s price tag keeps it from being a truly outstanding installment in the 2K series.

While offering a decent parkour experience, the unique colossal world of MOTORSLICE is what really make it something special and worth a playthrough.

A lovely aquatic adventure that doesn’t play as well as it looks.

Chaos;Child is a grim, gory murder mystery that could have been brilliant with some judicious edits to its content and pacing.

Gori: Cuddly Carnage was an indie game that meow-ed its way to the top despite its technical frustrations.

I’m still kind of confused regarding how I feel about this game, but I can’t stop playing.

Pool Panic is an absurd puzzle game that breathes new life into the game of pool despite some control issues.

Fall Flat’s weird controls can frustrate at times, but it still manages to be enjoyable and hilarious throughout.

South of Midnight comes out swinging with an incredible story, but the gameplay just isn’t there to back it up. If you love a good story and an awesome soundtrack, it’s still worth a look.

Dread Delusion is a fun romp in a fleshed-out world, definitely worth undertaking for the meagre price of admission.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is Ubisoft’s latest entry into the franchise, and despite having little connection to its predecessors, remains a solid Action-RPG.

The Jackbox Party Pack 4 is one of the better titles in the series that includes a game about dating monsters, as well as a few unfortunate bugs.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle makes a strong attempt to bring Indy back to gaming with a great narrative and exceptional puzzles, but its minute-to-minute gameplay suffers from frequent perspective changes and clunky combat.

Last Year: The Nightmare is an admirable take on the asymmetrical survival horror genre, and despite not doing too many things outside of the box, the stellar presentation and level of detail throughout helps the game survive long enough to warrant the price of entry for fans of the genre.

Heave Ho is a fun multiplayer game that provides plenty of laughter – provided you play with three of your friends.

Despite being a bit niche, for those who are fans of the series or are looking to get into the Leisure Suit Larry franchise, Wet Dreams Don’t Die serves as an ample entry point for both virgins and veterans.

For better or worse, MediEvil is a PS4 game that plays like a PSX game.

Crysis Remastered on the Switch laughs at our old PCs that couldn’t run the original but still finds a few stumbling blocks all on its own.

I thoroughly enjoyed New World. I wish there was more guidance in some areas in-game, and the game does seem geared towards PvP rather than PvE. Despite these minor gripes, the game is incredible.

Little Nightmares III is a safe entry into the series that runs into repetition issues, alongside bugs that really hold the game back. The checkpointing system is the biggest offender here, sometimes making me lose 4 or 5 minutes.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is a perfect example of what bringing a classic to the modern era can be. Updating gameplay and visuals to look and feel better while leaving the original unnerving story intact.

Trio of Towns offers a wide variety for players to enjoy, but is marred by a few technical weeds in the garden.

Crossing Souls is an excellent, albeit clunky, nostalgia trip.

While a mostly fun experience, Kirby and the Forgotten Land definitely forgets a lot of the things that make the pink puffball’s games so unique.

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is a finely polished, absolutely worthwhile remaster of the fourth game, held back from a higher score only by its outdated controls and sluggish character movement.

Little Nightmares is a well-crafted horror game that is held back by okay platforming, loose controls and a bad checkpoint system.

EA Sports NHL 24 scratches the itch for a solid hockey title. There are significant improvements over last year’s title, but replayability, as always is up in the air for sports titles.

The Alliance Alive's one-of-a-kind atmosphere and decadent soundtrack are high notes in an experience otherwise subject to the whims of random number generation.

There is promise, but it wasn’t quite executed to its full potential. This is a series that would benefit greatly if it strayed away from the yearly instalment model to really refine every aspect of the franchise. This was a chance to right the ship, but Ubisoft really didn’t do a lot to make this game stand out. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate suffers from clunky gameplay and a paper-thin plot filled with flat characters.

Considerable compromises were made on a technical level, but Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is still one of the best shooters on the Nintendo Switch.

Dragon Quest Treasures is an interesting action game that tries something new for the series in a mostly successful game.

Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 takes all of the best and most annoying aspects of Lego games and the Marvel Universe and shoves them in a blender to deliver something bother glorious and frustrating.

The game is literally just about a cat running through a house and breaking everything. There’s no story, no lofty goals, and certainly no moral or ethical grounds contemplated here.

High Hell is a great game to play in short bursts. It’s quirky, fast paced, and plays well aside from a few oversights.

Outbound is a super-cozy trek through the wilderness that prioritizes player freedom, but might be too slow for fans of the genre.

For better and for worse, Thank Goodness You’re Here! is unlike anything I’ve played recently: a short and mechanically lacking “slapformer” which makes up for its imperfections thanks to a bevy of hilarious jokes and zany artistic sensibilities. The final result is a game that is both more than the sum of its parts and a loving tribute to the archetypal northern English industrial town.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a must play for die-hard fans of horror and the 1974 film, but there are limitations that hold it just short of greatness.

Captain Blood looks and plays like an early 2000s Hack & Slash, for better AND worse.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 lives up to the original games and the previous remaster, but doesn't nail the landing quite as well.

Death Stranding’s attention to the real may make it difficult to enjoy, but it is undeniably an experience that will both scourge and soothe the heart.

A Little to the Left is another great indie game from Day of the Devs. With addictive puzzles and cozy charm, I really look forward to the Nintendo Switch release to play snuggled up in bed.

Warhammer: Chaosbane borrows the elements that made past action RPGs of the same genre so addicting , perhaps sticking a bit too closely, resulting in a game that may feel a little too familiar for veterans of the genre.

Anno 1800 is a great, deep city builder that doesn’t care if you know how to play it or not.

Brotato makes up for its lacking depth, enemy variety, arena variety, and mash-up of mechanics seen elsewhere, by making the best of the combination to create an addictive title that fans of pure, arcade-like gameplay will love.

While occasionally caving under the weight of its ambition, Greedfall delivers a world worth exploring inhabited by characters and stories just as memorable.

Strange Brigade has a nice mix of third-person shooting, puzzles, and humor that ends too soon and costs too much.

MainFrames is a solid little platformer that takes players inside the world of a computer that just so happens to be a paradise for platformer fanatics.

Combining some fun mechanics unique to surfing the waves and a little gunplay to keep your opponents from getting too close, Kandagawa Jet Girls offers a compelling racing experience.

NEO: The World Ends With You may not be as great as its predecessor, but it's still a good game in its own right.

WWE 2K22 is a step in the right direction, with a lot of content and a lot of fun to be had. A far from perfect title loaded with nostalgia, and too many game modes can be overwhelming. An easy recommend for wrestling fans, and newcomers.

Patrice Desilets’ study of our primitive ancestors in the aptly named Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey has come to consoles and brings with it a host of improvements, but still suffers here and there with some points of frustration.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2's sluggish combat and adherence to low-brow, leery anime writing detracts from the joy to be found in exploring its magnificent world.

Skelattack is a challenging and sprawling platformer set in the underworld that aims to please both fans of adventure games and platformers.

An isometric shooter with a ton of style, and a lack of complexity that works in its favour.

Ride is a middle ground between arcade fun, and simulation-style detail. Unfortunately, its confusion between the two sides makes it a little awkward to completely get behind.

Alwa's Awakening takes its players to pretty pixelated places filled with NES challenge, but mars the whole experience with a clumsy magic system that makes the game's difficult platforming segments needlessly frustrating.

During my time with F1 24, I found that there are a fair few things that were improved from last year's title, but with some game modes missing entirely, what else is there to do?

For the price, Zombie Night Terror is a fine way to spend a weekend or more.

Don’t Stop Believin’ helps to undo a lot of damage of previous episodes, but this more level-headed characterization is five episodes too late.

Sniper Elite: Resistance sticks to its guns and plays it safe, reiterating everything that makes the series great without introducing anything new.

Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator is an incredibly authentic game that is only held back by some mild performance issues.

A few bizarre twists and noted historical mutations left me equally confused and intrigued.

It’s not quite the next big step that some may want, but Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice is nevertheless a fun, funny little platformer that’s a worthwhile romp for fans of the genre.

Bulletstorm VR successfully translates into a VR experience on PC, occasionally tripped up by bugs and lacklustre enemy AI that Incuvo needs to address.

A game that doesn’t do any more than it has to but just manages to get by due to each game being so individually solid.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is another bare minimum remaster from Aspyr, which doesn't give Lara or the Switch 2 the attention they deserve.

This a fresh third-person shooter with asymmetrical multiplayer and a cast of characters that's hard not to love. Even if its servers are basically empty and it includes microtransactions that belong in a free-to-play game.

The familiar game play and dirt cheap price makes Revelations 2 worth a look for even casual horror gamers.

An exquisite game with a great story, but control and graphical issues could hinder a player's experience.

Triangle Strategy feels like: “Oops, All Exposition,” and while I did find myself enjoying it at times, I found myself glazing over far too often. It’s clearly got a big story to tell, but at the expense of all the other gameplay, and it ends up feeling more like a visual novel with some combat encounters, so it can technically be called a game. I’ve no doubt people will find something to enjoy here, but speaking for myself—as someone who genuinely likes turn-based strategy games—I’ve had to really push myself to enjoy it, and I don’t know how many people will.
