Nintendo sketches another warm and colourful Paper Mario adventure, though never traces its full potential.

Handsome visuals can't quite make up for bugs and a lack of urgency.

Limited by a rote and rigid world, Sucker Punch's samurai homage pairs okay action with enjoyably committed, if awkwardly fawning melodrama.

A characterful, frequently charming sequel that doesn't quite match up to the original - and somehow performs worse.

A new team management mode provides some of the best single-player racing action around, alongside the series' ever-improving authenticity. [Eurogamer Recommended]

There's much to love in this colourful free-to-play Switch exclusive, but it's obscured by some clumsy design.

An overdue but much appreciated remaster of one of the GameCube's - and the early 00s - very best. [Eurogamer Recommended]

Riot Games delivers a masterclass in competitive integrity, soulless precision and zealous, life-consuming obsession. [Eurogamer Recommended]

Kunos brings the full sim experience to console, warts and all, with a few oversights and errors along the way.

Pokémon's first ever expansion offers sunny vibes and another, more open world, but is still lacking the substance to do much with it.

A couple of omissions grate and it's hardly cheap, but this is a sumptuous collection for the grandest of shmups. [Eurogamer Recommended]

Disintegration's campaign is a robot-smashing romp, but multiplayer appears to be dead on arrival.

Sprightly platforming action marks a change of pace for The Chinese Room in this bold if brief adventure. [Eurogamer Recommended]

Can a slick, mainstream action game really reckon with the violence that drives it? The answer is yes - messily, but powerfully. [Eurogamer Essential]

I'm glad the launch version has tweaked the balance slightly in favour of the player, giving you a bit more health and replenishing it more readily, because I was banging my head against Atomicrops a bit in the version before. And it was only really that which made me hesitate in recommending it to you. But now, upon release and with some fine tuning, it sings. And a very jaunty song it is too. [Eurogamer Recommended]

Every now and then I get a reminder that video games are magic. And weirdly, this collection of things that pre-date video games has reminded me just how magical video games are. This is a history of the world, in part. It's also a TARDIS of fun. It's wonderful. [Eurogamer Recommended]

A couple of nifty concepts can't save this uninspired genre piece from its shortage of character or fear. [Eurogamer Avoid]

More an expanded re-release than a remaster, the quality of the original Xenoblade Chronicles shines out in this generous package. [Eurogamer Recommended]

You can build anything in Minecraft, something this fun dungeon-crawler from Mojang ably proves.

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]

There's plenty to admire in this smart and adventurous horror, though you'll have to endure some missteps to get there.

Eager to please genre fans, Sakura Wars delivers an old school experience with a hefty dose of drama. [Eurogamer Recommended]

Glorious artwork and a fan's eye for detail combine for a sequel that manages to best its forebears. [Eurogamer Essential]

A predictably grim spin on a legendary action license that really deserves better, Predator: Hunting Grounds is unworthy prey.

Cloudpunk offers a beautiful city to explore, but unfortunately there's not much to discover there once you delve deeper.

The classic formula gets an energising remix in this standalone charmer. [Eurogamer Recommended]

A competent tactical retooling of the Gears formula, even if the execution isn't always spot-on.

There's plenty of multiplayer fun in this game of benign wrecking balls. [Eurogamer Recommended]
