Nintendo’s latest nostalgia box bundles over twenty 16-bit hits together, including the never-officially-released Star Fox 2. However, if you’re not in any rush there’s no harm in waiting” SNES Mini Classic We’ll update this round-up with a sampling of reviews once the embargo lifts.ĥ/5 – GamesRadar: ” If you’re partial to a tough-but-fair challenge, and you have even the slightest appreciation for the rich history of animated cartoons, you’ll be overjoyed by the wonderfully artistic adventure that is Cuphead”Ĥ.5/5 – Windows Central: “The randomness on some boss fights will frustrate some, but patient, methodical gamers will relish the challenge, and enjoy the sense of accomplishment at the end of each huge battle”Ĩ/10 – GameSpot: “It could benefit from a few tweaks, and two-player co-op doesn’t feel like the valuable addition you might imagine, but Cuphead remains a rare, unique game that truly stands out”ģ/5 – Twinfinite: “If you’re in dire need of a real challenge, definitely give Cuphead your attention. With Xbox One exclusives thin on the ground, despite the Xbox One X just weeks away, it couldn’t have come at a better time. To quote ourselves: “For a third time in a row – with SteamWorld Heist being the second – Image & Form has managed to create something a hair’s breadth from perfection†Cuphead – Xbox OneĪfter more than a couple of delays and setbacks – and one huge shake-up to turn it from a boss rush experience to a run and gunner – Cuphead is finally out this Friday. We awarded it a well-deserved 9/10 earlier this week. And the fact that the hero has all-new abilities prevents it from a case of being more of thesame. ![]() The gameplay loop of mining, selling, upgrading, and descending further into a secret-filled mine is simple yet compelling. It’s bigger, bolder, and brighter than the 2013 original, thanks to far more lavish production values. ![]() SteamWorld Dig 2 – PS4/PS VitaĪfter hitting the Switch last week, Image & Form’s dirt digging sequel arrives on PS4. At long last, we have two quality football games on the market again.Ĩ/10 – The Metro: The improvements are slight, but this is still the best FIFA has been in several years – in terms of gameplay as well as just presentation. The humble PS2 received FIFA games up until FIFA 14, thanks to sales in countries such as Brazil.Ĥ.5/5 – GamesRadar: The best footballing package available, with myriad improvements – yet still unlikely to convert fans of the opposition.Ĩ/10 – VideoGamer: Problems such as the defensive game feeling less important and the hinderance of set pieces are apparent, but the flashy graphics and sharp commentary are no longer the only reason to boot up EA’s football sim for a kick around. It all depends on success on a global scale, really. Will this be the last outing for last-gen consoles? Perhaps – the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of PES 2018 failed to make a dent in the chart.

Several car packs are thrown in, although the fact that the contents of the ‘Day One Car Pack’ are still yet to be revealed seems a little cheeky. That’s joined by Ruiner, a gritty top-down cyberpunk shooter that’s generating a buzz on Twitter, and the PS4/PS Vita version of the wonderful SteamWorld Dig 2.įor Xbox owners feeling flush, Forza 7 is available from Friday via the £79.99 Ultimate Edition. ![]() On the download services there are a fair few games of note, including the eagerly awaited Cuphead – a game three years in the making.
