    David.
    David's control scheme has clearly been built around the touchscreen, but while the game's a delight on iOS (on iPhone, at least - the buggy iPad version is awaiting a fix at the time of writing), it works surprisingly well on PC and Mac, too.

    Silverfish
    When Chaotic Box produces a unified binary for iPad users, this will be an essential app, but right now it feels like an excellent game held back by some minor design quirks.

    Ancients of Ooga
    With its twisted humour and mutated style lending a pleasantly Oddworld vibe to proceedings, this is a crafted effort for those of us with a tendency to mutter that they don't make 'em like they used to. Apparently they do.

    Dungeons of Hinterberg
    Combat and RPG progression get an ingenious social twist in this disarming slice of fantasy.

    Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team
    Whether you're a Warhammer 40K aficionado or not, this is just the right kind of uncomplicated stress relief to distract you from the BBC News 24 ticker.

    No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way
    A bloody good game... If you like first person shooters and have a sense of humour, the only other thing to stop you playing this game is the central role of a pink-suited woman. Are you man enough?

    • 80 Critic Score
    Starship Defense
    Starship Patrol presents a package of rare calibre on DSiWare, a game that, through its tight breadth and expansive depths, would make for a worthy defining title on a service still trying to find its identity.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Everyday Shooter
    Being able to move more quickly when you're not firing is a smart twist with intuitive strategic consequences, but there are much smarter decisions at the heart of Everyday Shooter's logic.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Kirby's Epic Yarn
    The game that kept coming to mind as I played through Kirby's Epic Yarn was not any of the past Kirby entries, but rather Little Nemo The Dream Master, an NES game from 1990.

    Wheel World
    At its best this colourful racer has the power to improve your day.

    Samurai Shodown II
    In the end it only seems fair to rate it the same as the Virtual Console version - as a solid fighting game in its own right - and leave it up to you, dear reader, to decide if the online play and minor technical compromises improve or tarnish an enjoyable core experience.

    Alien: Isolation
    A shorter, sharper campaign would condense the high points more potently, and some better characterisation would make the plot twists hit harder. But if you're looking for a game that really sinks its teeth into what makes this iconic movie monster endure, look no further.

    Darkstalkers Resurrection
    In terms of creating a stable online environment where you can adjust the GGPO delay and see your opponent's ping rating before a match begins, Resurrection is hard to fault.

    Continuity 2: The Continuation
    The iOS is hardly short of inventive platformers, but this one certainly ranks as one of the freshest and most engaging to emerge for some time.

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004
    Technically it's better than either of the previous two, which means it's better than any other golf game we've played...For those of us with Tiger pedigree though, the lack of online play and niggling flaws overshadow an otherwise generous update.

    Gesundheit!
    If Revolutionary Concepts came to charm us senseless, it worked. There are so many reasons to enjoy Gesundheit; its 40 levels of puzzle nonsense are only a small part of why you should dutifully surrender your loose change.

    Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
    It's filled to the brim with brilliant ideas, and then barely uses them.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Groove Coaster
    Groove Coaster still lacks enough of a challenge to be interesting, and it's only when you play each song on hard that the game's potential reveals itself. Even then, it's unlikely that hardcore rhythm action fiends will care much for its casual approach.

    NAIAD
    Naiad offers real pleasures and real frustrations - but always with a purpose in mind.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Eternal Strands
    An action RPG with magical powers that feel genuinely dangerous, married to level design that offers scale and prettiness.
    • 77 Metascore

    Promise Mascot Agency
    Part management sim, part open-world adventure, this is both weird and familiar, and deeply comforting stuff.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Ys: Memories of Celceta
    Though a few tweaks short of masterful, it's a pleasure to find Ys in such good standing - proof of Falcom's ability to transpose 25 years of blueprint into an up-to-date, three-dimensional trapping.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mario Kart World
    Mario Kart World offers neat twists on the classic Mario Kart formula, but its open-world ambitions are somewhat let down by some classic Nintendo quirkiness.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Men of War: Assault Squad
    At its best, Men Of War: Assault Squad provides hours of tactical chin-stroking, some stonkingly memorable engagements, and a whole kit-bag of replayability, especially in co-op.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Wik & the Fable of Souls
    Coupled with more exciting levels in the latter stages of the main mode, and the thrill of hitting triple-digit scores in Loopnastics, Wik is like a web-game that grew up.

    Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
    There is a magnificent amount of stuff to do.

    The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom
    This is, above all else, a supremely confident game: confident in its charm, in its challenges, and in its unique identity. If you thought Braid gave puzzle-platformers a soul, this one is all about personality.
    • 83 Metascore

    2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
    There's undeniable satisfaction in combining to undo a tough defence and seeing those points totals totting up, and in some respects this is the best mode in the game, because playing together towards a long-term goal heightens the fun and drama.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Call of Duty: Black Ops II
    Ultimately, ambition is the word that best describes Black Ops 2 - and that's remarkable enough in itself. This is still Call of Duty, with all that entails, and anyone who has resisted the series so far likely won't be won over this time either. For the fans, though, Black Ops 2 offers the rare sight of a series at its height choosing to experiment and change rather than stay loyal to a proven, but tired, formula.

    Flick Soccer!
    If you haven't already given yourself carpal tunnel syndrome playing these games, then Flick Soccer is a great place to start. It's hardly a masterclass in reinvention, but just like Flick Golf, the tough part is finding the time to stop playing.

    Battletoads is short. Really short. TOO short.

    Everybody's Golf
    A vibrant interpretation of golf that expands on the series' distinguished lineage without compromising, or distracting from, its strengths. [Recommended]

    Dead Island 2
    If you've somehow yet to play an undead-themed action-RPG or you have an appropriately on-brand mindless hunger for the subgenre, Dead Island 2 might be worth your while. It's certainly got the zombie disassembly part down pat. If you are neither of those things, all the sturdy design and flying organs in the world can't hide the shortage of lingering excitement here. Dead Island 2 isn't a bad game, but it does feel superfluous, which is a sad thing to conclude about a project that's been in development for almost a decade. Still, at least they spared us the zombie booby merchandise this time.

    Little Nightmares II
    Tarsier returns with another slice of horror that's just about glorious enough to make up for the frustrations. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands
    Wildlands is an environment worth lingering over, but the mechanics and themes it propagates are wearing extremely thin.

    NORCO
    Norco is a beautiful, surprising, human, and utterly magnetic debut. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    We Are OFK
    The biggest success of the game, though, is its sense of authenticity. The LGBT+ representation is excellent, with diverse characters normalising queer relationships. The developer's devotion to authentic twentysomething reference points is commendable. And where so many music stories push songwriting and acoustic instruments as more "authentic" than manufactured pop, here the secret to success is simple: just be yourself.

    The Wonderful 101: Remastered
    It's too anarchic, too messy and too unreadable in its combat, as well as too erratic in its execution. But then it's that anarchy that's key to The Wonderful 101's charm, and that runs through so much of the work of Hideki Kamiya. The Wonderful 101 is Platinum at its most imperfect, but I don't necessarily mean that as a slight. There's a real thrill to be found in all that chaos. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age
    A sumptuous, generous and absolutely gorgeous RPG that isn't quite the measure of Dragon Quest's illustrious past.

    Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee!
    Pokémon's Switch debut deftly toes the line between returning fans and all-new ones, with a few small wobbles along the way. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    TT Isle of Man: Ride On The Edge
    A middling racer in a dreary package that contains one of the finest achievements in the racing genre in years. [Recommended]

    A beautifully structured, rich and thoughtful adventure with gentle but decisive RPG elements. [Eurogamer Essential]

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
    So yes, Turtles single-player has been an absolute delight. I can't wait for my first six-player match.

    Metal Gear Survive
    Metal Gear's first post-Kojima outing plays fast and loose with the formula, with results that are equal parts brilliant and baffling.

    Nintendo's long-running fantasy series looks to its rich history for this smart, satisfying turn-based strategy game. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    All Walls Must Fall
    Witty and wonderfully scrappy, turn-based combat has never looked quite like this before. [Recommended]
