Fans will love the Lara Croft Collection, but even newcomers just looking for an interesting adventure game will find a lot to like.

Midnight Ghost Hunt is a wonderful and unique multiplayer experience with loads of loadout options and so much polish in 1.0.

AOT 2: Final Battle is no doubt one of the best anime games ever with Omega Force absolutely nailing the source material.

In a year dominated by Metroidvanias, huge open worlds, and big budget action, House Flipper 2 is a refreshingly joyous, relaxing experience.

Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley completely surprised me, and thanks to its gorgeous world and varied activities is a top notch cozy game.

It’s wonderful to be back with Clem, and the new characters are interesting. Even though the story is still in its infancy, it feels like we’ve got plenty to look forward to as the season moves forward.

There’s a lot to like with this remaster and I hope Capcom considers remastering the others for Switch (and PS4 and Xbox One) in the future because some aspects haven’t aged well but this is a damn fine experience. I’ve grown to enjoy playing many older games on handheld systems and Onimusha is best on Switch for me.

Berserk Boy is a fantastic Mega Man inspired action platformer, with loads of awesome abilities and a great flow through the stages.

Kosmokrats offers a nice change of pace from other physics-based puzzler out there, with a dark comedic edge and some challenging puzzles that become more complex over time.

Darkest Dungeon is a game that makes you learn a lot from both your mistakes and from yourself.

A brutally difficult game that is pure digital crack. Devil Daggers might grab you by the balls and shake you until you're sick, but you'll always go back for more.

A worthy conclusion and a fantastic follow up to Mask of Deception that is a must play for visual novel fans on Vita.

Anno 1800 Console Edition will eat hours if you let it. One minute you're ruminating over where to place a lumberjack's hut, the next you're connecting a huge network of warehouses.

Thicker Than Water is the best episode yet, and as it finished I was left with the all too familiar feeling of nervousness and fear us Walker fans are used to. Telltale Games makes great use of Walkers, too, and you remember just how random and deadly their attacks can be. Going into Episode Five it’s going to be interesting to see how the group dynamic works after the crazy events of the end, and just how the gang are going to recover. There’re still plenty of issues with the animation on the character’s eyes, and some of the facial animations aren’t telling of what they’re actually trying to say, but forget this due to the gripping nature of the story. It’s clear to see why The Walking Dead is Telltale Games’ jewel in the crown, and if the previous two seasons have taught us anything, it’s to bring your hankies to the finale.

If you’re a fan of either of the universes here, this is well worth your time and money.

If you don’t have access to the PC version then House Flipper 2 is definitely worth picking up on console.

If you loved the original, this is just as good, with a great new art style and some nice changes to combat.

Bringing NeuroVoider to the Switch was a real no-brainer for Flying Oak, it’s a good slice of rogue-like action for this terrific machine.

Evil West is one of the most surprising and enjoyable action games of the year, and Flying Wild Hog have an absolute banger on their hands.

New World is a pretty damn good MMORPG. It's fun and accessible, and though it doesn't do anything truly new, it has enough little twists on existing ideas to keep me invested.

Two Point Hospital on console was well worth the wait, and you can buy the Switch version with confidence, and that's the doctor's orders.

Phantom Brave: The Lost Hero is a charming tactics game with a lot of depth, but its Switch performance leaves a lot to be desired.

Boxboy + Boxgirl is a banging, box-based Brain-teasing bonanza and brilliant at a budget price.

Trinity Fusion may not be the most original game, but it’s good looking, exciting to play and features enough new ideas to earn its place at a crowded table.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes in Heaven features fun combat and a crazy story you’ll find hard not to get sucked into.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is a great excuse to revisit a classic Wii title, with just enough new additions to shake things up.

Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown offers a robust fighting system that runs silky smooth, with plenty of variety in fighters and move-sets.
