New Pokémon Snap earns it’s name—maintaining what made the original so beloved, but making it feel fresh and exciting.

Mario Vs. Donkey Kong is an excellent little pocket puzzler that is sure to please fans and newcomers alike.

Hitman: Episode One represents a magnificent return to form for the franchise.

Gundam Breaker 4 is a well-built return for the franchise that smartly doubles down on what everyone wants the most: customization.

Super Meat Boy Forever is a challenging sequel that will have you testing your controller’s durability in no time.

Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World comes to 3DS and it’s every bit as delightful (and simple) as it was on the Wii U .

While it’s by no means a bad game, Saints Row: The Third Remastered may be just a bit too dated for newcomers to fully enjoy.

If you have time to dig into the indie fighting scene, Night In-Birth Exe:Late should suit your needs just fine.

I have yet to find another free-to-play game that is so fair to the player not spending any money on it.

Even without playing the new 3 on 3 multiplayer, I feel I can easily recommend Halo Wars 2 to both Halo fans and those hankering for an RTS on console. The controls are tight, the cutscenes are to die for, and there is a new cute AI that I want to be best friends with. If you aren't sold on the whole RTS thing, or it just isn't a genre you're interested in, then at the very least watch these cutscenes somewhere online, because they are damn impressive.

Two Point Campus brings laughs to the simulation genre while allowing adaptive playstyles without ruining the player’s chance at success.

Ritual of Raven combines the fundamentals of farming with the language of coding for an incredibly wholesome and engaging experience.

While it does feel like the series hit its plateau a while back, Worms W.M.D is a welcome addition to the series, being beautifully crafted and as fun as ever.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 stumbles in its narrative, but great characters, a unique aesthetic, and an engaging combat system make for the best game in the franchise since the original.

While none of my issues while playing are game-breaking, College Football 25 has the rare advantage of being what feels like a complete reset of a franchise, which works in its favour. While College Football 25 is a massive step in the right direction for good video game football play, there is still a lot of work to be done.

Age of Empires 2: The Definitive Edition is an excellent version of a game that refined a genre two decades ago, but it doesn’t offer much to entice new players from their modern conveniences.

Few titles seem to capture the timelessness that Katamari Damacy Reroll does, with bright visuals and a silly play style that are just as fun and unique now as they were years ago.

Ladykiller in a Bind hits some unfortunate narrative snags and suffers from mixed characterization, but is ultimately a worthwhile, interesting game that takes the medium in interesting new directions.

Dancing in Moonlight uses twelve years of songs to bring the Persona 3 cast the musical tribute they deserve.

Street Fighter 6 is an almost uncompromising port of one of the best entries into the long-running fighting game series and is one of the best ways to play it on the go.

One part retro, one part modern-esque, Lode Runner Legacy marries much of what made the original so memorable.

Despite a few hardware hiccups, Two Point Hospital’s madcap brand of simulation fun transitions nicely to the Nintendo Switch.

While it does nothing wholly original, Koira achieves exactly what it sets out to do: tell an emotional tale and build a strong foundation for Studio Tolima’s future titles.

The hilarious from start to finish Ittle Dew 2+ is the best 2D Zelda-like on the Switch.

“Wastelands” has a better understanding of what makes Life is Strange 2’s story work, and is more enticing for it.

Bionic Bay combines floaty platform mechanics and wild abilities to make fast, frantic, and intelligent puzzles and an experience that is thoroughly intoxicating.

For a pocket-sized RPG that will provide hours of gameplay, it’s certainly worth a look.

There are certainly areas for improvement, but Magic: ManaStrike may be the best mobile adaptation of MTG so far.
