    What it lacks in story, Arms makes up for it in style, character and utilisation of the Nintendo Switch’s bells and whistles. From the accessible controls, fun power-ups and cool arenas, it’s almost like the Mario Kart 8 team looked at their game and thought ‘Hey, wouldn’t this be cool, but with fighting?’. Turns out they were right. Nintendo’s wacky take on the fighting genre packs a punch and is the perfect way to introduce non-believers to the gaming world.

    ARMS is a truly unique experience that digs into my nostalgia with games like Punch Out! I just hope the free DLC will make it feel more fleshed out. Quality cannot be argued here, but content definitely feels far too light at launch.

    I love the uniique gameplay of this game. Through its mechanics not only you enjoy but you also done exercise good for your body. Not a perfect game but nonetheless still have a room for improvement. Be dazzled on its colorful dazzling display of fighting styles. This will hook you up for hours.
