Space makes everything better. Even indentured servitude, as Deep Sixed unequivocally proves. Forced to chart a nebula by a major corporation and given only the barest necessities to fulfill this job, the game will have you patching holes and dealing with endless crises in a whirlwind of engineering fun.

A visually striking adventure platformer, Fe invites us to traverse a mystical world, befriend certain creatures, and fight some villainous spiders while learning more about the game's world and experiencing a gradually unfolding story.

While the fantasy branch of Warhammer may not be as instantly recognizable as its 40k counterpart, Warhammer: The End Times – Vermintide is still plenty grim and/or dark, throwing our closely-knit teams of survivors against the relentless Skaven hordes heralding the impending apocalypse. In other words – fun for the whole family and a great co-op experience.

Featuring three volumes culminating in a combat scenario, numerous collectibles, and a story that revolves around a heartbroken assassin, Wolfenstein II: The Diaries of Agent Silent Death is a fine piece of DLC for an already solid shooter.

Mercenary Kings is essentially a cross between Monster Hunter and Metal Slug that works surprisingly well. And while it may have flown under the radar around its original 2014 release, now that the Reloaded Edition is available on the Switch, it gets to really shine as a pick-up-and-play experience.

While it obviously lacks the depth of its MMO progenitor, EVE: Gunjack is a solid VR space shooter with over 20 missions, great visuals, and exciting gameplay.

A painstakingly authentic motorbike sim racer, Supercross: The Official Videogame is likely to satisfy any racing enthusiast's needs, especially since you can make your own tracks. But while the track editor feature is nice to have, it requiring you to be online feels somewhat excessive.

As is always the case with Supergiant Games, Pyre can't be faulted for its presentation. Now, its gameplay that melds a visual novel with a fantasy take on basketball may prove a bit more divisive. But in the end, the breadth of choices and their far-reaching consequences here make the game more than deserving of your attention.

EA Sports UFC 3 brings us fantastic visuals, a strong fighter roster, and a great assortment of game modes, including one that removes grappling and focuses on the actual fighting, making this a great game for just about anyone looking to fight in a regulation ring.

Attack of the Earthlings is best described as reverse X-Com where you play as an alien tasked with infiltrating a human ship in a turn-based fashion and dealing with its inhabitants by creating more aliens and engaging in stealthy combat. A more linear and forgiving experience than X-Com, Attack of the Earthlings is still very much enjoyable in an off-beat sort of way.
