Crimson Desert

7/10

You don't go to the actual Crimson Desert until, like, chapter 10.

Star Fox

7/10

The umpteenth remake and retelling of the classic Star Fox 64, Star Fox for Nintendo Switch 2 looks fantastic, but it's an old school game.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight

9/10

Even though he’s typically the most serious member of the Justice League, Batman is, as we’ve seen over the years, pretty silly. Adam West climbing up buildings and thwacking and thwocking his way through bad guys? Silly. Val Kilmer in a batsuit with nipples? Silly. Ben Affleck having a shouting...

Luna Abyss

7/10

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book

7/10

Yoshi games have always revelled in bringing new and distinctive art styles to the table, not to mention exploring different styles of platforming game, and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is no different.
