One of my all-time favorite games, Marble Blast Ultra, got a true spiritual successor this year from the team behind the original. It was a solid effort for the most part. I was impressed that the Switch version ran at 60 FPS and that the physics-based marble platforming still feels extremely good all the years later. The big issue is that the game lacked any real challenge until the closing dozen stages or so, which makes the game feel lopsided and too easy. It’s also sparse in the content department, but with free DLC on the horizon, I’ll pop in for some marble platforming in 2019.
