Logan Plant's Reviews
Super Mario Party Jamboree is the series’ newest superstar, with fantastic boards, minigames, and customizable rules that return to the classic formula while also confidently improving upon it.
The Plucky Squire is a beautiful storybook adventure filled with brilliant wordplay-packed puzzles and clever dimension-hopping mechanics, but it drags on a bit too long after it's already used up all of its best ideas.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble is a brilliant return to form with the best stages and controls the series has seen in over 20 years.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is an amazingly loyal and visually dazzling remake of a treasured RPG, and the improvements made throughout easily make this the definitive way to experience Mario’s unforgettable quest.
Boring in multiplayer and frustrating alone, Endless Ocean Luminous is a tedious, aggravating slog that feels endless in all the wrong ways.
Princess Peach: Showtime! is a simple, cheery romp with a variety of neat styles and a fun theater-inspired setting.
A few fishy elements aside, Splatoon 3’s Side Order DLC is a delectable roguelite expansion with outstanding original enemies and crazy new abilities.
Another Code: Recollection is a chill, breezy return for a dormant Nintendo series that’s light on challenge but heavy on charm.
Dragon Quest XI S should be remembered as one of the best JRPGs of the generation — not because it pushes the genre forward, but because it reminds us why we fell in love with role-playing games in the first place.
Overall, Castle Crashers is a colorful, creative beat 'em up with a lot of charm, and it feels right at home on Switch.
I hope that every Switch owner picks up the trilogy, because there’s really never been a better way to play this set of games.
The controls don’t work quite as well as the two screen setup on Nintendo’s last console, but that doesn’t change the outstanding level design, gameplay, and presentation.
