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

    It may be over 20-years-old, but Blood has aged nicely into a gory red wine that remains highly replayable to this day.

    Team Sonic Racing refines and advances the genre in creative ways that make it a must play for both kart racing and Sonic fans alike, which is easy to do thanks to its budget price.

    Three Kingdoms, to me, represents the best of both the historical and fantasy sides of the franchise. It creates stories that are compelling to play through and watch, using a vast number of systems working in harmony to achieve it. It creates the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows, and it does it all while still improving upon the Total War formula.

    Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark desperately wants to recreate the experience of a tactical RPG and it does so with a few added flourishes.

    Readers looking for an engaging and dark story, one that isn’t afraid of embracing the harsh realities of the middle ages during its tail end, are encouraged to try A Plague Tale: Innocence.

    Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is a good remaster of an average third-person shooter.

    Rage 2 takes Doom-like gunplay and puts in just another dull open world game that doesn’t do anything particularly memorable.
    • 70 Metascore

    If you’re in the mood for some crude humor and silly, over-the-top action, Saints Row: The Third is still an undisputed king of ridiculousness.

    Puyo Puyo Champions is a near perfect for hardcore puzzle game enthusiasts, but casuals may want to start elsewhere.
    • 77 Metascore

    Whispers of a Machine is a puzzling enigma, a fascinating story, and a bit of an ugly beast, but well worth your time.

    VA-11 HALL-A demonstrates its ability to create a unique world filled with diverse characters without even setting foot outside of a rundown dive bar.

    Copy Kitty is a fountain of content and fun, giving 2D action fans a unique synthesis of old concepts they don’t want to miss.

    For such a largescale RPG as Final Fantasy XII, it’s great being to experience the title at home and on the go with all necessary enhancements.

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

    World War Z has a great gameplay hook, but it unfortunately lacks the variety needed to keep it engaging past the first few hours.

    Dragon’s Dogma stands the test of time and is excellently recreated on Switch.
    • 71 Metascore

    Days Gone is an above average open-world game that is brought down by a weak first act, poor shooting, and a lot of technical issues.

    In its current state, I can only recommend Jupiter & Mars for play in 2D, for those who were looking to exclusively play the title through PSVR, I recommend holding off till a sale.

    Mortal Kombat 11 isn’t just a fantastic entry into this long running franchise, it’s a stunning example of how much value and content developers can pack into the fighting game genre.

    Time will tell whether or not Space Junkies can stand the test of time, ideally maturing into a game that can live up to the games it borrows from. As of right now, Space Junkies is at the very least, is a must try for owners of the PSVR headset.

    Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain offers players with a nice change of pace from the hyper-connected and competitive nature of contemporary gaming, with a game that actually feels like a game.

    Final Fantasy X/X-2 make for a lovely addition to the Switch’s library – a touching experience for new and old players.

    My Time at Portia forces players to figure out the game’s features before they can truly appreciate them.

    Cuphead is a great addition to the Switch library, it’s also a game that just feels right at home on a Nintendo platform, thanks to its colourful aesthetics and old-school difficulty. I can’t recommend the game enough, even for those players who may have already played the title during its initial release on other platforms.

    Grave Keeper fits well with a free-to-play model but adds nothing to justify its new cost.

    Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission has all the strategy and complexity of a TCG beautifully mixed with the blood pumping tension of a fun multiplayer arcade game.

    Die-hards may love these new stories with their beloved cast, but anyone else may find Corpse Party: Sweet Sachiko’s Hysteric Birthday Bash’s story lacking and weak.
    • 83 Metascore

    Hypnospace Outlaw’s 90’s tinted internet exploration is spot on, but may be too specific for players who were not around to experience that particular time.

    From the moment you activate boost for the first time, Dangerous Driving roars to life with a speed and vision that I’ve sorely missed. Dangerous Driving is a good game, one that brings a smile to my face every time I slam a rival into the median. Three Fields has created something special here, and I can’t wait to see how they’ll improve upon it in the future.
