Pode
In spite of its pace-killing relationship with logic and some frustrating camera angles, Pode is a competently structured platformer. The central mechanic is just as satisfying as popping bubble wrap and unites theme and gameplay in holy matrimony. The narrative, characters and their emotions make themselves understood exclusively through imagery...
It may not feel like much of a step ahead of its predecessor as the recently released MotoGP 18 was, but MXGP Pro still stays true to its promise as being one of the most realistic and gorgeous MX titles on the market. Outside the more realistic pro physics and...
Still, the core loop is incredibly satisfying as you gather new parts across a continent filled with a ton of stuff, which in a jiffy can be experienced naturally with friends. The car physics are simple but forgiving, the world is relatively beautiful to look at - if not a...
While this latest Lego game may not be as appealing to fans of the Marvel and DC Lego series, this is a hugely fun game with plenty to do outside of the short story mode. The inclusion of the extra Disney Pixar characters was a welcome addition and helped add...
If it wasn't clear by now, then we should make extra clear: Hollow Knight is a fantastic experience, both in your hands on the Switch or on the TV screen. It provides the timeless fun and exploration of a Metroidvania you can spend hours getting lost in, trying each avenue...
Anyone who enjoyed Life is Strange should definitely download this episode as it gives some indication of where we're heading next, but even if you've managed to miss Life is Strange, this prologue has enough merit on its own to be worth your time.
Icey
We came away from ICEY satisfied with the amount of engaging combat we'd been given via the cool combos and special attacks, but underwhelmed by the meta-narrative and the length of time we spent with it. It suits the Switch perfectly because of this brevity, making it just the right...
Summerset might not be dripping in nostalgia like last year's Morrowind but it still delivers a worthwhile expansion that enhances the experience that Zenimax Online Studios has worked so hard to build over the last four years. The mystical world of Summerset is gorgeous and we loved playing around with...
It didn't attract too much attention when it was announced, probably because the two previous entries in the series were actually pretty weak, however, this new game has actually turned out to be quite wonderful. Mario Tennis Aces not only satisfies the occasional players looking for some arcade fun and...
However, this doesn't mean that Unravel Two is a bad game - it just has large shoes to fill, and the comparison might be a tad unjust. As a sequel, it struggles, but as a co-op game, it shines. We've had a lot of fun playing it, and we're going...
That said, Jurassic World Evolution is a great pick up and play title that doesn't take itself too seriously and is really fun to explore. We liked the fact that you had to unlock the sandbox mode and when you did, only the dinosaurs you'd discovered in the main game...
Onrush
While it's certainly a missed opportunity that there's no local multiplayer included (this is the kind of game ideally suited to having such a feature, in our humble opinion at least), Onrush offers a truly unique vehicular experience. It's a racer with the spirit of an online shooter, and it...
