Platform: Nintendo Switch

A perfect sequel expanding massively on an already brilliant puzzle mechanic. The puzzles are challenging and well designed, but the centrepiece is the plot and specifically the characters.

Short and sweet, Portal has a simple concept which lends itself to all levels of complex puzzles. Nowadays it lives in the shadow of it’s unbelievably good sequel, but the concepts started here.

IMO, the last good Saints Row game. Humour is at different times stupid, crude and also clever. It’s absurd, and absurdly fun. Play with a friend.

Beautifully crafted, hugely influential, challenging and fun.

The new benchmark for smooth, responsive controls for skilful platformers. Funny art direction, great music and awesome level design which is super rewarding to overcome. A must-play for the genre.

The very influential testbed for ‘The Telltale Way’. A wonderful example of storytelling in games and in retrospect, remarkably accomplished. Its characters, and decision making ensure its a classic.
