STILL PLAYING

Hades PC, Switch We’re happy (and relieved) to report that the Switch port of Supergiant’s blistering Roguelike is exemplary – infrequent and mild framerate drops notwithstanding. But with cross-save absent at launch, we return to our completed Steam save to discover that, contrary to our Post Script suggestion last month, Supergiant has included the comedy deaths from Early Access. The studio really has thought of everything; if anything, that 9 now seems a little harsh.

Super Mario Sunshine Switch If Nintendo’s 3D All-Stars collection is a low-effort way to mark Mario’s latest milestone, the quality of two of the three featured games is hard to deny. Sunshine remains a characterful oddity: it’s clearly unfinished in places, but its H2O-assisted platforming, unusual objectives and evocative tropical setting – looking all the more attractive in widescreen – largely compensates for the handful of low points. That pachinko level can still do one, mind.

Gunsport Stadia ‘Development hell’ doesn’t quite cover the woes that have beset Necrosoft’s arcadestyle futuresport, with Google its unlikely rescuer. It’s volleyball with guns, with a static keeper and leaping striker on either side, each ‘goal’ scoring more the longer a rally is sustained. There’s big Windjammers energy here, not least thanks to SNKinspired sprites. Alas, Stadia, multiplayer and spotty Wi-Fi don’t mix, so we’ll hold off on a verdict until the console release.
