    Xenoblade Chronicles 3D
    Xenoblade Chronicles is a game that ticks all the right boxes.

    Cairn
    Cairn stands out as a gripping grounded climbing experience. It is demanding without feeling unfair striking without softening its edges and honest in its portrayal of a woman trying to outrun the life she left behind. Whether on PC or Steam Deck this is a climb that stays with you long after you return to base, particularly the metaphysical ending.

    The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD
    I expected more from the graphics upgrade after comparing Twilight Princess HD to 2013’s Wind Waker HD, but this version of the game stands to prove that even ten years on, the game holds up well.

    F1 2021
    F1 2021 is a continuation of simple, consistent and well oiled machine that it has done best. Falling short in the same areas it has always done, but scoring perfect points where it matters.

    Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda
    Cadence of Hyrule manages to elegantly combine Crypt of the Necrodancer’s unique rhythm-based combat and procedurally generated level design with The Legend of Zelda’s grandiose open world adventuring to create a remarkably unique experience. The combat may be difficult for some to grasp and the puzzles are a little lacking, but overall Cadence of Hyrule is a fun, compelling adventure that should not be missed.

    Monster Hunter Generations
    Monster Hunter Generations successfully captures what made this series so great and then amplifies it on the 3DS!

    Inscryption
    The creepiest hand of cards you'll ever play, and one of the best pieces of interactive fiction I've seen in years.

    Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
    The new style and direction of the Splinter Cell franchise may not thrill all the fans out there, but it's a fact, that this was a much needed bold fresh adrenaline jolt.

    Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
    Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is an enjoyable classic RPG on the 3DS with a few 21st century mechanics thrown into the pot. I like how it has been ported to the 3DS as it works on all levels from not just the control system but how the game plays out. It’s the perfect title for this console as it allows you to get lost in this world for either quick or long gaming sessions. Fighting is a challenge, creating items is easy and all in all, it’s a game that has been tailored for lovers of role-playing games.

    Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
    Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a special game and a rare beast in the current console generation. A traditional Japanese RPG with a deep and rewarding gameplay experience with a level of polish reserved for the biggest of franchises. Even if level grinding and monster catching is outside your comfort level, this game is worth checking out. Once you spend a few hours with Oliver, Mr. Drippy and his friends you will not be able to put Ni No Kuni down.

    UFC Undisputed 2010
    UFC 2010 Undisputed is easily one of the world's most realistic fighting games that offers great replay value, sturdy combat engine and an overall entertaining experience that is oozing with UFC references from start to finish!

    Autumn Dynasty
    It is an intuitive, beautiful and enjoyable experience and I would recommend this to all RTS players looking for something on the iPad.

    Wasteland 3
    I personally love the game, the aesthetic it presents and the quirks of the characters and the little things you can find throughout that inject a bit of humour. If you are a fan of Fallout then I highly recommend Wasteland 3.

    The Sly Collection
    In the end, The Sly Trilogy is a must have game for those that enjoyed this title on the PS2 or for those looking for a traditional arcade game without too much fluff.

    Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
    In conclusion, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars is definitely one of the better fighting games on the Wii and even though it's old school, the old analogy of if it isn't broke, don't fix it works perfect with this title.

    Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland
    Master Lemon: The Quest for Iceland turns a deeply personal tribute into a meaningful adventure, where every new word shapes how you see and interact with the world.

    Tales from the Borderlands: A Telltale Game Series
    If you’re looking for something to fill the gap between the inevitable current gen iteration of the Borderlands franchise, albeit with a much stronger focus on characterisation and story, then Tales from the Borderlands will more than satisfy your desire.

    Super Mario Bros. Wonder: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park
    Super Mario Bros Wonder was a return to greatness on the OG Switch and with its performance tweaks and incorporation of new multiplayer excitement thanks to Meetup in Bellabel Park, this is a must have game if you missed it the first time around.

    The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
    A charming, modern take on a classic style of Zelda. Zelda is able to carry the weight of main character like the strong Princess she is. Now it's Link's turn to be the damsel!

    GORN
    Would I recommend Gorn… absolutely… but don’t blame me for any damages!… seriously… be very careful!

    Raiden IV x Mikado Remix
    This isn’t rocket science… it’s not a deep thinking game or even strictly all that imaginative… but it is a lot of stupid fun! The thumping beat that has been added to modernize it certainly helps there and does it’s part in building the excitement.

    Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
    An occasionally subtle, but nevertheless substantial upgrade to the original Horizon Zero Dawn that, while I don't necessarily think it's an upgrade that needed to be made, I'm glad it was.

    Yakuza 0: Director's Cut
    Brutal combat, irreverent humour, and a smorgasbord of content make Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut one of the best launch titles on the Switch 2, and also the best way to play one of the best entries in the long-running series. If you haven’t visited the weird and wonderful world of Yakuza before, and a need to play something on it other than Mario Kart World, you have no excuse.

    Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition

    Helldivers 2
    If you’ve been tempted to try Helldivers 2, regardless of whether you opt for the new Xbox version or not. Now is a great time to dive in. Player counts are way up, and there are tons of players, both new and old, to team up with and drive back the enemies of managed democracy. It certainly needs to rein in the paid content, or, at the very least, make it easier to obtain for players who don’t have more than $100 to drop on extra gear, but at its core, there’s still a fantastic cooperative experience full of satisfying firefights and huge explosions. Did I mention the explosions?

    Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
    Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age is great. It was great in 2017 on the PS4. It’s greater now on the Switch. It looks amazing and the frame rate is consistent in the dock and in handheld. The price point is an issue. A port of a game more than a decade old should not cost the same as a full price Triple A new release title. There are indie games on the Nintendo Shop that are amazing for only a fraction of the price. Hell the original PS4 version of the Zodiac Age can be found in most stores of $25 and it is ostensibly the same game. If you can find a copy on sale, it is an essential title to add to your Switch library.

    Bravely Default
    For 2013, Bravely Default is easily the best RPG of the year that will keep fans of this genre extremely happy as they join these characters in their fight for freedom.

    Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
    As a Star Wars game, Survivor has some very big boots to fill and given the lore contained in this universe and fan expectations, I can safely report that it successfully expands on the first game and on the PlayStation 5 delivers a true next-gen experience. Sure there are a few slight gameplay glitches here and there, however as a whole it is a very polished game from its fine-tuned gaming mechanics, Star Wars inspired graphics, wonderful narrative and characters, including the music, sound effects and voice acting, In the end, Respawn Entertainment efficaciously draw you into the character of Cal Kestis as you fight the good fight to keep the “dark side” at bay. As a long-time Star Wars fan, this is the droid game you’re looking for… and yes Jedi mind tricks are totally part of the game!
