Fans of Phineas and Ferb might get some enjoyment out of this, but platform aficionados might find their time invested better elsewhere.

Nights of Azure 2 on Nintendo Switch is a lazy port with loads of visual and performance issues and a downgrade compared to the first one in every aspect.

A roguelike survival game that sadly squanders its potential with a general lack of variety.

Uncanny Valley shows a lot of promise, but the harsh reality of its non-linear narrative structure and reliance on multiple playthroughs to make sense of it all means it is asking too much in the face of the early game's uninspired, repetitive gameplay.

Poncho is memorable with its lush pixel art and catchy music but also for its frustrating level design relying on a single infuriating mechanic.

Jump Force wanted to be something for every anime fan, but while there’s plenty of fan service there just isn’t enough substance to proceedings.

After a few patches, Warlander may well be able to stand at least in line with other mid-tier roguelites and action adventures, but right now... not so much.

Fossil Fighters: Frontier is a boring take on the excellent idea of dinosaurs fighting each other.

Etherborn is a space and gravity bending puzzle game that challenges your spatial awareness, however despite a very compelling hook and lovely visuals it runs out of ideas very quickly.

Colossus Down is genuinely funny, but it's gameplay just isn't good enough to compete with other Beat'em ups.

Degrees of Separation is a beautiful puzzle game with a lovely story of a couple with conflicting backgrounds just trying to be together but is let down by a large amount of monotonous scarf collecting and various bugs.

Drakengard 3 will join the collections of many series fans, as it certainly has buckets of character and no doubt stays true to the previous games. For anyone else looking for an interesting action-RPG, it misses the target far too often to recommend it as an essential purchase.

A Doctor Who game set in a virtual world could have been something really special. Unfortunately, the slow movement and generic puzzles don't do much for Maze Theory's game.

Hong Kong Massacre tries to emulate the adrenaline-fueled romp that was Hotline Miami, but it fails to deliver the same thrilling experience.

Pokémon Link Battle! has a surprising amount of charm with the cute character sprites and animations, but while the gameplay is somewhat addictive to start with, it quickly becomes repetitive. Taken in tandem with the other issues, it makes Pokémon Link Battle difficult to recommend.

Go Vacation promises a world of fun and opportunity. It delivers the latter in spades, but not so much the former.

River City Girls Zero is an outdated beat em up with clunky combat, and is hard to recommend to anyone but the biggest fans of the franchise.

Dry Drowning’s premise of chasing a serial killer holds a certain morbid allure, but odd choices just make it frustrating to play at times.

In its current state, SNK Heroines is worth buying on PS4 and not on Switch.

There’s a good puzzle game in here somewhere, but the way in which it’s presented is simply too cold and uninviting.

Unfortunately, I had issue hitting targets at times because of the issues lacking in this department. Still, there are plenty of collectables and a lot of missions, so if you’ve always fancied playing the Tiny Troopers series, this might not be a bad place to start.

Swap Quest is a cutesy, tile swapping RPG and puzzle hybrid with clear mobile roots. It doesn't feel robust enough on console and is better played on mobile.

Rise of the Dark Spark is a step back from Fall of Cybertron, and that’s an utter travesty.

After Us is gorgeous and has some important things to say about consumerism, but actually playing it isn't always fantastic.

I won’t disparage what GODS is and always was, which is quite simply one of the greatest of its time - but that denomination of era is crucially important here. Because judged up against its contemporaries, the original was a powerhouse - but there’s simply no real place for it in 2018.

The game itself isn’t as good as many other infinite runners and, while the art does look appealing – staying true to its comic book roots – there’s no denying that the sluggish gameplay and repetitive nature take a lot away from what could have been a rather enjoyable gaming experience – particularly for heavy metal fans.

Elminage is not a bad game, but it feels woefully out of place in today’s market. That said, it does have a very specific target audience, and those particular gamers will lap it up. Slow-paced, dated, and under-explained in every department, the less-than-stellar localisation only compounds all of Elminage Original’s issues and ensures that only die-hard genre fans will truly enjoy it.

The original Gravity Crash didn’t do too well when it came out in 2009, not least because it launched so close to PixelJunk Shooter. Now, five years on, this re-release doesn’t improve anything that was broken, and arguably detracts further from the titles it wants to emulate by setting the default option so easy.
