Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Switch
OK, sure, you perhaps didn’t need us to tell you this is a great multiplayer game, but if you’re a regular games player, it’s easy to forget this isn’t just for hardcore time trials. Mario Kart games are designed from the ground up to be accommodating to brand new players, with its best-in-show rubberbanding designed to ensure kids and newbies have a chance against experienced players.
Mario Kart 8 recently rolled out its final update, adding yet another eight courses and new characters, meaning it now has an extra 48 tracks over its original release. Might this finally mean we can hope for a new game in the series, after almost ten years since 8‘s original Wii U release? Don’t expect it before the new Switch arrives. But this remains one of the best ways of gaming together you can find.
