Even at its worst, however, The Order is still fun to play. Cool weapons and some truly fantastical environments overcome the faults when a sequence is just waves of nondescript enemies. Had this game’s design come out a few years ago, no one would be complaining. There’s just a sense that you’ve done it before, and its abrupt ending doesn’t do justice to what you’ve invested yourself in.

Trivial Pursuit Live! sports a hefty amount of questions. We never encountered repeats on our playthrough. As for the questions themselves, they range from ridiculously easy to real head scratchers. Although the variety in difficulty is nice, the easy questions can get a little boring.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy+ offers a control scheme that’s very easy to pick up and limits frustrations. The “L” and “R” buttons control your speed, the analog nub steers your ship, and the face buttons are used to fire your weapons and dodge missiles. All these controls feel precise and responsive, working very well.

A deep selection of fighters is always a welcome sight, and Last Round has a whopping 34 characters to choose from. This includes the Ultimate DLC lineup (Marie Rose, Nyotengu and Phase-4) along with two newcomers in Raidou, the boss from the original Dead or Alive game, and Honoka. None of these additions are likely to be fan favourites, at least for their fighting styles, particularly given the recycled feel of Phase-4 (another clone of Kasumi) and Honoka.

The concept of Evolve is very simple: four hunters work together to track down one monster. That one monster must avoid the hunters’ tracking skills in order to feed enough to develop to their next level. Once the monster reaches level three the rules of engagement change dramatically, as the hunters must now defend a Power Relay station from being destroyed. And that’s only the Hunt mode!

Well, it sure is Risk. Best advice we can start you off with here is do not play against computer opponents. The “Balanced A.I.” selection waits until maybe turn two before it starts to steamroll across the world, and the “Defensive A.I.” pretty much seems to do the same. Suffice to say, it is much more fun with another person to play with.

Grow Home takes you to an uncharted world where you play as the botanical utility droid or B.U.D. for short. Your mission is pretty self-explanatory as it is in the namesake. You will explore the planet’s indigenous plant life and grow the magical plant stalk back to your spaceship. Growing the stalk requires you to cleverly maneuver growth stalks into nutrient-rich floating islands. On occasion you will reach teleporters that act as save points for whenever you fall to your death, which is a high possibility with the current control scheme.
