Wild Hearts is a fantastic video game. It has so much flair and personality, and so much of it is designed with fun in mind.

Horizon Call of the Mountain is a great launch title with impressive tech shown off at every corner, only let down by some of the climbing.

Returnal on PC is just as stunning as it ever was, with a high level of detail in its environmental design and layered gameplay.

Ten Dates is entertaining from start to finish, with a diverse range of characters to date, great acting, and some genuinely funny moments.

Wanted: Dead starts off strong with plenty to learn and enjoy, but towards the end bogs itself down by trying to be difficult, forgoing what made it good to begin with.

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is my new favourite rhythm game, with brilliant musical gameplay and a tracklist that is simply breathtaking.

Metroid Prime Remastered is the best remaster on Switch to date by some margin, which is saying a lot. Still essential after all these years.

Labyrinth of Galleria: The Moon Society has some interesting ideas for a dungeon crawler, but is too complex for its own good.

Hogwarts Legacy is filled with so many mechanics that nothing feels arbitrary, with so much joy to be found within its story and spell books.

Deliver Us Mars is heavily focused on story and exploration, both of which it does fairly well. It’s no thrill-a-minute blockbuster, but fans of the first game will find a lot to like here.

SpellForce: Conquest of Eo strips away a lot of what makes the franchise unique and doesn't replace it with anything exciting.

Perish is a solid FPS roguelike with tons of replayability, often giving off a DOOM-vibe that pushes you to the limits of your own sanity.

The True Slime King is a hard as nails platformer that recaptures the Meat Boy magic, and has a cracking level editor to boot.

Fashion Police Squad is a fabulous retro style FPS, with a unique theme and tons of ideas packed in.

Shoulders of Giants is a fantastic action game, with a great variety of weapons, abilities and progressions hooks to keep you keen.

Issues with the combat aside, there is much to enjoy in what Untold Tales have served up with Atone.

If Stitch Heads continue along this path with Superfuse through early access, they will almost certainly have a winner on their hands come the full launch. They understand the genre and know exactly what fans want from it – right now it just needs balancing and expanding. The aesthetic is cool and the universe is interesting, and the Fuse system is just fantastic. The cathartic thrill of looting and levelling is hamstrung a little by the sense of repetition, but it’s early days yet, and Superfuse has the potential to be a genuine hit. [Early Access review]

Trek to Yomi is a likeable game that doesn’t outstay its welcome. If the visuals on Switch were better, it would be an easy one to recommend.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake doesn't reinvent the wheel for platformers, but there's still lots to enjoy.

Backfirewall_ is a fun, interesting mix of exploration and puzzles in a setting that feels different and enjoyable to explore.

Hi-Fi Rush is a thrilling rhythm game that oozes both style and substance, offering one of the biggest surprise hits in recent memory.

The Good, the Bad and the Undead is Marvel's Midnight Suns Deadpool expansion - and it's as mad as you'd expect from the Merc with a Mouth.

It is fantastic that titles like Raiden IV x MIKADO Remix are still being released, and even missing TATE mode it's a recommendation.

Dead Space is a fantastic remake, taking what was great about the original and adding plenty of smart and impressive features.

Season: A Letter to the Future is an emotional adventure full of relatable characters, gorgeous locations and a whole lot of scrapbooking.

Colossal Cave is a love letter to the 1976 original which fans will enjoy, but newcomers will likely be confused, intimidated, and frustrated by its design.

Hyper Gunsport is great in couch co-op and versus modes, where the fast paced and fun action takes you back to the golden age of gaming.

Neptunia: Sisters Vs Sisters has wonderful combat and endearing characters, but a lack of difficulty and dodgy dungeons prevent it from being truly great.
