    Sonic Origins is a definitive anniversary title that delivers everything I want from a series’ remaster. While a few more customization options and restored songs would’ve put it over the top, technical updates polish these four emeralds for a new generation.

    Whether you’re a veteran player or new to the game, The Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle offers plenty of opportunity to enjoy brand new content as either a solo player or as part of a party.

    As suggested by its tagline, ‘made by freaks for freaks’, this game might not win you over if you are not already interested in speedrunning, puzzle-shooters and/or anime-inspired visual novels but, if you even slightly happen to be, Neon White is a bona-fide cult classic with a genre combination made in heaven.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is, for better or worse, a lean green fighting machine. A quintessentially retro presentation makes up for some shortcomings, and adults who grew up on the franchise will love the nostalgia trip.

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords remains a masterful and compelling story with enough lore to keep fans satisfied, but for the Nintendo Switch port, remember to save often.

    Mario Strikers: Battle League is a return to form for the series, and an excellent entry in Mario Sports. A title very easy to recommend for any Switch owner looking for a change of pace.

    Souldiers is recommendable to anyone seeking a MASSIVE retro styled challenge with gorgeous 16-bit graphics, but the challenge or length of the adventure may deter the more casual player, or fans seeking a dynamic story.

    Diablo Immortal blends classic gameplay with the free-to-play formula, and almost delivers a complete knockout mobile experience.

    Rebellion hits the target again with Sniper Elite 5, but the game could benefit from smoother gameplay.

    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.

    Salt and Sacrifice is bloody, brutal, and beyond enjoyable.

    Evil Dead: The Game is a 4v1 asymmetrical multiplayer game that is more speed and combat-oriented than the stealthy slay-fest that is Dead by Daylight. It's a bit repetitive and doesn't add anything substantial for fans of the series, but it's still a bloody decent time.

    Dolmen is a massive achievement on a small Indie team of 30 developers and is a solid recommendation to those familiar with FromSoftware’s titles but shouldn’t be recommended to the more casual gamer.

    I didn’t know I needed a beekeeping simulator in my life, but APICO brings a great balance of education, relaxation and resource management that keeps me coming back for more.

    Cat Cafe Manager plays into its quirkiness and cuteness bringing a fun, fast-paced sim that you can jump into on the Nintendo Switch or PC.

    Dungeons of Dreadrock is a paint-by-numbers puzzle game that has little going for it outside of a genuinely nice visual style.

    Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is the Action-RPG equivalent of a solution without a problem -- an almost completely skippable prequel that fails to share any true gameplay DNA with next year’s Hundred Heroes, nor builds any excitement for it.

    Trek to Yomi is a short but sweet action game and a love letter to 1960's era Japanese cinema.

    Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is a great combination of tactics, lore and design that will test your skills in hours of turn-based carnage that fans of the franchise should not miss.

    Ravenous Devils dares to be an exotic cuisine in a gaming landscape that sees too much of the same main courses, but the player is left hungry for more flavors in a repetition pool. An easy recommend for players on a budget, who don’t want an intricate experience, and some quick fun.

    Switch Sports is a solid multiplayer game that is fun to play, even if there is a limited number of sports and game modes to engage with.

    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed plays as great on the Nintendo Switch as it did on the Wii in 2008, but Aspyr limits Starkiller's true power over a console that can do so much more.

    Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars is a fun yet formulaic anime beat-em-up. However it blurs the lines of both franchises, and might not offer enough of either franchise’s core experience to please their fans.

    Chinatown Detective Agency is a great detective game that feels rewarding when solutions are found. An easy recommendation to casual and serious gamers, but the replay value may fall short when all is said and done.

    13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a finely woven story with strategic elements that is a satisfying addition to the Vanillaware lineup, but fans not into anime or Sci-Fi may feel isolated in this futuristic world.

    Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition is a great game with fantastic elements that can entertain players for many hours.

    MLB The Show 22 is a great entry to the yearly sports franchise, easily the best one yet. It's enough to keep returning players interested, and new players will have a great time learning the ins and outs of the diamond.

    With a dash more depth to its gameplay, and a lighter touch to its narrative, LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga reinterprets the nine-film epic into a solid experience that all generations of fans will want to revisit.

    Ikai had a great first half with great pacing and providing enough mystery and heart-racing moments but fizzled out by the end.

    With a plethora of visual enhancements and quality of life improvements for GTA V and GTA Online leading the charge (60fps performance, ray-traced shadows and significantly faster loading times chief among them), there’s never been a better, easier or more affordable time to visit San Andreas on current-gen consoles, whether it’s your first trip or if you’ve been away for years.
