Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a Breath of the Wild prequel that offers some of the best Warriors gameplay we have seen so far. However, the game is not flawless as it suffers from some frustrating controls and framerate issues. However, if you are willing to look past that, enormous fun and adrenaline-driven experience remain.- XGN

Ancients of Ooga gives a unique twist to the platform genre but loses a lot of it's magic due to it's repetitive gameplay. The co-op is a let-down but this shouldn't stop platform fans from buying the game.- XGN

While it is not quite on the level of Luigi’s Mansion 3, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD offers a fine visual update to a 3DS classic. Unfortunately, unlike other recent Nintendo remasters, this new version does nothing to alleviate the annoyances of the original game, such as E. Gadd’s all too frequent calls. Ultimately, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD makes for an okay addition to the Switch-library, but it can’t be called essential.- XGN

Amnesia: Rebirth is an innovative horror-title that dares to scare players, but also intrigues them with an interesting story. While the story can hold back on the horror aspect of the game and it's not as good as The Dark Descent. The combination of the horror, story, and the new gameplay features makes this a worthy follow-up to The Dark Descent.- XGN

The Disney Afternoon Collection is a treat for everyone that loved the old games back in the NES era. While the games themselves are still the same, the new functions and modes are a welcome surprise. Only some technical issues plague the collection.- XGN

Mario Kart Live Home Circuit is magical, but not flawless. While being a bit pricey, the quality of the tech behind these karts can't be denied. It is a joy to race on your own courses, although finishing is always easy thanks to some small technical hiccups.- XGN

Kazuma Kiryu returns in a modern remake of Yakuza 3, balancing life at an Okinawa orphanage with a new criminal conflict. The added Dark Ties story expands the narrative but doesn’t always improve the experience.- XGN

The Crew is a successful open world race game with RPG elements. Its only downfalls are the simplistic storyline and the absurd micro-transactions.- XGN

The Vita version of Virtua Tennis 4 offers the same modes and options as its console brothers. But there lies the problem, there aren't many new concepts that can be enjoyed. However, Virtua Tennis 4: World Tour Edition is still a lot of fun.- XGN

We can't say it enough: shooting robots apart is a perfect way to kill some time. That's why we're surprised Binary Domain hasn't gotten the media attention it deserves, because this is one hell of a surprise. Granted, there are some things in this game we didn't like. Like the AI of your teammates, the lack of a split-screen feature and the appeal of the included multiplayer. If you like third-person shooters, you will not regret this adventure with Dan Marshall and his team of anti-heroes.- XGN

Construction Simulator 2015 is a fun game for the fans. A beautiful open-world, realistic vehicles and many missions. Controls are unfortunately sometimes quite difficult and necessary bugs sometimes spoil the gameplay.- XGN

Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered sees the return of a long forgotten entry in the series. Whilst the gameplay feels a bit dated now and then, the game delivers a solid adventure from the perspective of the Templars.- XGN

Armored Core 6 is a nice diversion from the Souls games for From Games. The return to modular mechs allows players to experiment with wildly different builds. Sadly, the game feels very unbalanced. It throws very hard bosses at you when you're unprepared and underpowered, while not challenging you enough when you finally reach enough freedom to build an AC to suit your style.- XGN

Final Fantasy 7 on the Switch is a blast to play even though the emulation isn't that great. It has everything to do with the great stories and the amazing characters. They look outdated and ugly though. It's a good thing the music is as charming as ever.- XGN

Norn9: Last Era is a fine game for fans of the franchise as well as newcomers thanks to some great voice acting, great characters and beautiful music. The prelude is a bit long though, which might scare some people of.- XGN

Spark Unlimited has drastically changed the Lost Planet formula, making Lost Planet 3 feel more like a reboot than a sequel. The gameplay feels tighter and more accessible than ever, but comes at the price of the diversity and openness found in previous titles. Fans of the series might not like these changes, but the big amount of content, beautiful environments and exciting boss battles make this a quality title that stands above the average third-person shooter.- XGN

You should buy Dead Rising 2 if you enjoyed the first one and Case Zero as well. The addition of co-op is the best part of the game.- XGN

Star Fox Zero is a true Star Fox game, and a joy to play with the new and innovative controls. However the game is held back by the inconsistent graphics, the framerate and short game length.- XGN

Cloudberry Kingdom is a fun and crazy game that lets you curse for days. Despite its simple graphical style and concept, the game manages to keep you interested for hours in both the campaign and the free play. Customize your character, give your friends a call and go on an adventure together. Dying is no fun, but seeing your friends suffer while gaming is an absolute joy.- XGN

Castlevania Requiem combines two of the best games in the Castlevania series. However, it does just that. The bare-bones presentation and weird mistakes keep this from becoming a must own collection.- XGN

The first episode of The Council gives hope for the rest of the series: an intriguing mystery with superb RPG elements in a new episodic jacket. Let's hope Big Bad Wolf fixes some of the animations.- XGN

Nuka-World doesn't have the best story nor most interesting quests but is does have an astounding ambiance. The DLC is a roller coaster of amazing impressions, sometimes shockingly interrupted by the usual bugs.- XGN

Successor of the Skies does not perform well when it comes down to graphics and sound. However, the gameplay is simply great and the leaderboards offer great replay value. If Treasure listens to the feedback and changes a few key points, they can surely make a great follow-up of this game.- XGN

If you're searching for your inner troglodyte, look no further. Caveman Warrior is a 2D platformer that you can play with friends in local co-op. Although the balance seems off, eating dinosaurs, nazis and robots in chaotic, action packed gameplay is fun.- XGN

Counting down to D-Day, you guide a group of Special Forces and French Resistance through Northwest France in an attempt to derail Nazi-Germany. The turn-based tactical squad missions are familiar all the way back to X-Com, but several new tactics have been added. Thanks to a new morale system, every shot counts, even when missed, taking away one of the biggest frustrations of the genre. Classified: France '44 isn't without fault, but will please fans of the genre with fresh ideas.- XGN

While it's great that the game is finally crossing over to the PlayStation platform, the game in itself brings only small improvements over the previous Ultimate version. Being only part one of three, we cannot really recommend the game, but hope The Coalition corrects this with a full trilogy.- XGN

Are you looking for a RPG which offers something totally different than Final Fantasy XIII for example? Well, if you don't have any problems with a difficult and extensive gameplay system, then Resonance of Fate is your game to buy.- XGN

Hyrule Warriors Legends is more than a port of the Wii U version. It has a lot more content and offers a lot of fanservice. But it gets repetitive pretty quick. Still, this Musou is worth playing.- XGN
