Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game - Complete Edition
Switch8.00
A unique arcade-style beat 'em up with an amazing soundtrack and gorgeous art style. A must-play for any fan of the Scott Pilgrim universe.
Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon
iOS5.00
Despite its charming presentation, Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon is an undercooked roguelike dungeon crawler with poor combat and pacing.
Though it doesn't remaster the game, how can you improve upon perfection? Knights of the Old Republic 2 is still one of the best RPGs ever made, and now it's on your phone
COLLECTION of SaGa FINAL FANTASY LEGEND
Switch6.00
A faithful recreation of the original Final Fantasy Legend titles. Perfect for fans looking for a nostalgia trip, but not a great first entry into the series for new players
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure
iOS9.00
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure tells a joyful tale with a deftly-handled message of conservation and rejuvenation
SteamWorld Quest
iOS9.00
A brilliantly rendered, deceptively involved card battler that simultaneously tips its hat and cocks a snoop at traditional RPGs
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin
Switch7.00
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin can be confusing to start with, but getting past the initial hardships opens up beautiful levels and satisfying gameplay
DOOM Eternal
Switch8.00
The Switch port of Doom Eternal is as good as it possibly can be, with portability making up for a drop in visual fidelity and framerate
Animal Farm's struggle against cycles of corruption brilliantly captures the novella's sense of powerlessness, even if it does stick a little too closely to the source material at times
It’s also satisfying to unlock even more adorable characters as you play, along with new music, and stages. I would definitely recommend Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 to someone looking for a casual puzzle game they can easily pick and play for a few rounds.
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light
Switch6.00
If you're a Fire Emblem super-fan, this is the best version of the NES classic. For everyone else, the Nintendo DS remake or its Wii U port are far better.
John Wick Hex
Switch7.00
It’s a shame the Nintendo Switch port couldn’t have utilised some of the unique handheld features like the touch screen. This type of support would’ve worked extremely well in a game like John Wick Hex, so it’s disappointing not to see the developers go the extra mile.
Commandos 2 - HD Remaster
Switch8.00
In general I think this is an excellent remaster, and if the PC version was plagued with bugs, then the developer has definitely gone out of its way to eliminate them here, as I didn’t experience any. I do think $29.99 might be a bit steep, but then again, can you put a price on nostalgia?
Empire of Sin
Switch5.00
It’s currently not optimised well and the issues range far beyond what we were informed about. If you absolutely want a mafia management game on-the-go, then I’d give it a few months before buying.
Bloodstained is an inventive twist on the Castlevania formula, but a lack of visual quality and control frustrations prevent this port from wholly doing it justice
Immortals: Fenyx Rising
Switch8.00
Immortals Fenyx Rising offers a world that you can’t help but explore, with some truly impressive dungeon design. The game’s only let down is its simple puzzles and painful menu navigation.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered
Switch7.00
High speed chases and spectacular police take-downs provide plenty of thrills, but a lacklustre remaster, and a couple of annoying quirks let the arcade racer down.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
Switch7.00
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a fantastic way to tide you over until Breath of the Wild 2, if you can forgive the dodgy frame rate and several other warts hidden within
The Pathless
iOS7.00
Though it treads old ground at times, stand-out action sequences and appealing simplicity make it hard not to enjoy The Pathless
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory
PS47.00
It’s hard to know exactly who Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory is for. I suppose it’s for the Kingdom Hearts super-fans, who have likely picked it up already. But for everyone else, it’s quite an exclusionary game by design. Despite being the cliff-notes for the entire series so far, Melody of Memory is a half-decent rhythm game that’s bogged down by repetitive stage design.
Moonlighter
iOS9.00
Moonlighter is truly the sum of its parts, a brilliant combo of homely shop-keeping and dungeon-crawling depth
A3: Still Alive is a confused mess of a game that doesn't do anything particularly well.
Reigns: Beyond
iOS8.00
Though its rhythm component is a little lacklustre, Reigns: Beyond is still a great choice for anyone who wants a funny sci-fi take on the roguelike card genre
Seven Knights -Time Wanderer-
Switch5.00
Seven Knights foray into Switch territory has resulted in a JRPG that just doesn't fit well on the big screen, with technical and mechanical limitations marring a surprisingly fun, if basic, combat system
South of the Circle
iOS8.00
One of the best Apple Arcade games yet provides an intriguing combination of Firewatch, Neo Cab, and LA Noire, but ends up feeling like a creation all of its own
