April’s looking to be a solid month! The next 30 days on the calendar feature People Can Fly’s space-hobos with powers aka Outriders taking to the stage, and that tough act will be followed by several midcard games. Star Wars Republic Commando will be yelling vowels at you through its revamped main menu, Cozy Grove looks charming, and JRPG fans have plenty to look forward to when SaGa Frontier Remastered and Atelier Mysterious Trilogy Deluxe Pack arrives.

Undoubtedly one of Nintendo’s best ever pure handheld devices, the 3DS leaves behind a legacy of excellence and triumph that few other systems could hope to beat, let alone replicate. In the video game Hall of Fame, it deserves a section all to itself for paving the way for Nintendo to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

2020 may have been a terrible year for…well, everyone, but for the games industry it was one of the best trips around the sun ever recorded. With people stuck at home and desperate for entertainment, video games proved to be a perfect respite. Over on Metacritic, the review aggregation website had a look at which game publishers were the most critically successful and went through the entire 2020 library of games to find the biggest winners of the year.

In a game that includes a green steroid rage machine, a god of thunder, and a living World War 2 legend flinging a giant frisbee around, it’s amazing how a regular dude lobbing pointed sticks at murder machines might just be one of the most powerful characters around.

It may wear its influences on its sleeve, but Kaze and the Wild Masks is still an effortlessly delightful romp with its tight gameplay, beautiful worlds, and enjoyable platforming action.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League is a modern-day epic in both length and style, the likes of which will never be seen again on the big screen. A titanic improvement over the original, its overall story may be a barebones assemblage of awesome power but its elevated by visually stunning spectacle and attitude.

It’s the dawn of a new age for the mob as crime gets more organised, and in City of Gangsters it’ll be up to you to balance the books and make sure that every bootlegging operation runs smoothly.

Not every joke sticks the landing in Paradise PD’s third season and the basic animation sets the tone for the show visually, but a seasoned voice-cast and infectiously terrible energy makes it the unmissable train wreck of its genre. Absolutely awful, but strangely mesmerising.
