Kirby Air Riders feels like a combination of Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. at their most chaotic. You’ll have to carefully balance battering rival riders while also out-speeding them, all while mastering seemingly simple controls – controls that actually require significant skill to master. The game is vibrant and visually stimulating, and also offers a great line-up of characters and customization tools. But it’s not quite perfect. City Trials can feel anticlimactic on occasion, and I wasn’t quite won over by the story mode or limited set of courses. Still, Kirby Air Riders offers the frenetic multiplayer fun I want from my Nintendo Switch 2, and in the end, makes for a successful oddball racer. £385 at EE Tech & Gaming(Black) £385.99 at Amazon(Black) £409 at Amazon(Black) £429.99 at My Nintendo Store UK

Kirby Air Riders is perhaps an ideal video game in that it's easy to overlook its flaws because it's just fun enough to play over and over again. Despite the fact that, taken on their own, each section of the game largely leaves me cold or indifferent, the entire package together is shockingly solid with plenty of charm. Check Amazon
