Every level is made up of grids with different layouts that are filled with traps. You have to work together to solve every level, and each one gets progressively harder and busier than the last. In the main campaign each player takes control of a different cube-shaped robot using the Joy-Con controllers. As a co-op puzzle game, two players can take on the main campaign, or up to four players can get stuck into the party mode. If you’re after some puzzle-based action, Death Squared will get you thinking.

It also offers the option to aim in first-person, which makes it a lot more interesting to control than the regular third person perspective, and it allows you to try and hone your shots. You can try your hand at power serves and trick shots to catch your opponents off guard, and there’s even the option to slow down time, break rackets and even knock the opposing team out with your ball. Special power moves can give you the upper hand and help you bat your way to victory. When it comes to Mario’s take on the classic sport, a lot more comes into play. With 15 classic characters from Mario to Waluigi and Rosalina, you can play Mario Tennis Aces in singles matches, or spice things up with a round of doubles which splits your group into teams. The characters of Mushroom Kingdom are back on the tennis court and it’s the perfect way to spend some quality time with your chums.
