As 11Bit Studios moves on to greener pastures, fans of Frostpunk will have the cold of Frostpunk: On the Edge to deal with.

Beyond a weird bug or two, Parkasaurus is a genuine treat to play. From a genuinely surprising number of management systems through to one of the silliest cartoon aesthetics ever seen in a park simulator, the game holds a wonderful amount of unexpected surprises belying its cutesy storefront presentation. In more ways than one, the game hearkens back to 90s classic cartoons like Dink, The Little Dinosaur. Overall, it is an amazing title with a lot of promise, and has the ability to eventually become one of the best park simulators available.

Burnout Paradise Remastered for Nintendo Switch is a good port of a decade old game. Alas, the dated gameplay can serve to frustrate over long periods of play, and the inclusion of readily available DLC removes the necessity of "needing" to play. The end result is a port of a once great game that lives to see another day by serving as the best, albeit overpriced, 'pick up and play' arcade styled racer currently available on the Switch.

The sheer combination of gameplay and plot is immense from an external perspective and can easily overwhelm anyone new to the franchise. Old-school JRPG fans and gamers who love to go on deep dives in their games should be right at home. Sure, there are games out there that much better represent the current state of the Japanese Role-playing game, but not a single one of them comes close to mimicking the old-school greats as much as Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition.
