    Smoothing out the wrinkles, Perfect Chronology evens out to an experience of roughly the same calibre as the well-worn original.

    Crossing Souls is an excellent, albeit clunky, nostalgia trip.
    • 57 Metascore

    Dynasty Warriors 9 is a significant departure from past titles, but a poorly implemented open world leaves much to be desired.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Rise and Fall does exactly what an expansion needs to do, and brings the wayward Civ players back into the fold.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Hacker’s Memory is a solid addition to the original Cyber Sleuth, but as its own game it has little in the way of substance.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It’s simple, charming, it looks great, and has a ton to offer.
    • 69 Metascore

    It may just be nostalgia, but for its price, Mercenary Kings Reloaded feels like a perfectly fair package.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    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.

    Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is an affront to the Final Fantasy legacy whose superficial beauty fails to obfuscate its complete lack of substance.
    • 57 Metascore

    OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes sounds and looks good, but dull repetitive combat and a story that doesn't go anywhere. But if you're already a fan of the show, you'll probably be okay with its shortcomings, newcomers need not apply.

    As poignant and raw as ever, Night in the Woods feels more at home on Switch than anywhere else.
    • 91 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    The Shadow of the Colossus remake enhances the themes of the original, stirring up a crushing sadness in the player in their actions only moments after taking them to heights of excitement. It’s a master class in how to remake a true classic.

    Monster Hunter World is a fantastic action RPG that players can enjoy for hundreds, if not thousands of hours due to its sheer amount of quality content to experience.

    An enjoyable indie game which doesn’t take itself seriously and leverages its enjoyment on a frantic and frenetic local multiplayer party mode. Single player level making is a lot of fun if you’re into that kind of gameplay.

    Matt Thorson succeeds once again in crafting a tight, beautiful retro experience.
    • 68 Metascore

    Although the two-dimentional visuals in Zwei: The Arges Adventure differentiate itself from its sequel, the game retains a lot of the depth and plot that made the other so good.

    Dragon Ball FighterZ is the perfect marriage of source material enriched gameplay and original presentation. Ark System Works has created a fantastic experience that a wide audience of players and passionate fans are sure to enjoy.

    The Inpatient is a psychological horror that, while technically above standard, is devoid of anything noteworthy.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Lost Sphear's classically-styled RPG bones can scarcely bear the weight of its uninspired narrative.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Almost a decade later, Super Meat Boy still offers an excellent difficulty curve, sharp level design, and heartless, brutal platforming.
    • 84 Metascore

    Rise of the Tomb Kings is the best DLC Creative Assembly have released for Total War: Warhammer yet.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Genital Jousting is a pleasurably girthy package with loads of fun mini-games and a short, funny-yet-impactful story mode that dares to touch on subjects other games wouldn't dare that will surely arouse some controversy. No need to beat around the bush, this one is rock solid.
    • 57 Metascore

    It just feels like very little is actually on offer for a full priced 3DS game.

    The Arcade Edition certainly makes up for all the criticisms tossed at the Street Fighter V for lacking content. This is a damn fine fighting game now, it’s just a shame everyone had to wait two years to get it.

    A neat game that would be better on mobile than literally anywhere else.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Gorogoa is a beautiful albeit short puzzle game worth experiencing even if you aren't a brilliant puzzle solver.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Nioh slips onto the PC and is as great as it was on the PS4, with DLC and some minor control issues.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A Walk in the Park is a solid expansion to an underrated game that features a fantastic setting and some creative enemies.
    • 81 Metascore

    The Champion’s Ballad acts as a perfect tribute to both Breath of the Wild and to the Zelda series.
