Castlevania's Belmont's Curse revives the legendary 2D series with striking visuals, a distinctive soundtrack, solid combat and excellent exploration. It's not as break-through as some other recent Metroidvanias, but it nails the fundamentals in a way that's sure to satisfy fans of the genre.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake is a stunning technical showcase from Nintendo, delivering a jaw-dropping Hyrule that is not only incredibly detailed, but thoughtfully lit to maximise both immersion and storytelling. Changes to traversal, combat and level layouts are subtle but do result in a game that feels more comfortable to play, without sanding back any of the things that made the original such a masterpiece. Ocarina was always perfect and remains so all these years later, but it seems as though Nintendo has found a few weeks to make it that little bit more perfect.

Let's meet our hosts!
- Jake Baldino (aka the Before You Buy Guy) is pretty much the most watched reviewer on YouTube across both Gameranx and his personal channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/JakeBaldino). If you're obsessed with Delorians, The Mummy and Pizza you can discuss that stuff with him directly over on Twitter: @JakeBaldino

- Lucy James was a Senior Producer at Gamespot for more than a decade before striking out on her own, founding https://lookingfor.game/, a newsletter and games discovery platform that serves up cool suggestions (and demo codes) directly to your inbox. She also co-hosts the annual Summer Games Showcase alongside Geoff Keighly.

- Skill Up used to work at McDonalds but he got fired for skimming too many chicken nuggets. He says he regrets it since he hasn't had a better job since.
