The Edge of Allegoria is a fun game that looks and feels like Pokemon, but with shades of Deadpool and South Park.
Games with phenomenal storylines are great, but this game makes up for it with detailed RPG mechanics, fun combat, and quirky characters
Wander Stars is a quirky RPG that uses vocabulary to fight. It's old school anime art style and soundtrack will transport you back to the 90's and will live up to the expectations of those who grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons.
At $49.99, Fia and the Wondrous Academy is a bit pricey. But it’s loads of fun and can keep you occupied for dozens of hours.
OFF is an interesting and thought provoking RPG. You should be able to beat it in under ten hours, which is solid for its $14.99 price tag.
The game can get pretty challenging as you balance more tasks, and it can feel slow at times. But it’s a solid game for fans of this genre and an easy way to casually pass a few hours.
Hogtie is no different than your average mobile game. Heck, it’s even available on Steam for only $5. But it makes for a solid puzzle experience because of how many levels there are and how difficult the levels can get later on.
I was constantly intrigued by the story, characters, and world. That’s what kept me going. Because of my experiences with visual novels and escape rooms, I didn’t find the game to be inherently fun, but it was a brilliant storytelling experience.
Starlight Legacy is a solid game. If you’re younger, the nostalgia factor isn’t going to affect you, and you’re not really going to care much for this title. But if you grew up with the older Final Fantasy games and other old RPG’s, Starlight Legacy will be a very good sub $15 purchase.
Donkey Kong Bananza is a breath of fresh air for 3D platformers, and I fully believe the extra $10 is worth it in this case. It’s a really fun game that offers a ton of enjoyable moments for both casual gamers and hardcore completionists. This is a must have.
Do I think it’s a fun game? Not entirely. The gameplay angered me at times with how slow it was at the start and figuring out where to go was a pain. But gameplay was never really the focus for me. This is a slow burn game that relies on characters, story, and occasional puzzle solving. Those were the main draws for me, and it’s more than enough to keep people invested.
Bambas! is an okay game. It has lots of style and is enjoyable for a few hours but will become boring rather quickly for some. But for a game that only costs $15, it’s solid.
Sure, people who have played the original are going to love this game. But I hope this game finds its way to people who haven’t played the original. Maybe someone didn’t have a 3DS back then, or they didn’t like the artstyle, or they didn’t get into life sims until recently. Whatever the reason, people need to play this.
The Switch 2 version includes the base game and the Phantom Liberty expansion together for only $70. If you buy a physical copy, it’s all on one cartridge and you gets stickers too. The Switch 2 version of Cyberpunk 2077 is as good as you could ask form and needs to be played.
There’s enough content to suck hundreds of hours out of you and if you’re playing in handheld mode, some of the visual graphics are less noticeable. If you can get the game on Steam or PS5, that honestly should be your first choice, but this is a great example of how powerful the Switch 2 is and should be enjoyed if you’re playing this way.
This game is an unexpected hit that’s crafted with love. There’s hundreds of interactions and a ton of solid writing. It’s perfect for romance fans but because of how different it is from the average romance visual novel, most gamers will enjoy it as well.
Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is a phenomenal love letter to a bygone era of video games and toys that many people played and loved.
You can get between 15 and 30 hours of playtime if you don’t mind the repetition and constant grinding, but I don’t see the average gamer doing more than one run and for $30 it’s a bit on the expensive side.
9th Dawn Remake is so much fun, there’s so much to do, and it runs perfectly on the Switch. For only $16, the game throws so much content and value at you and will keep you occupied for 50 hours or more. It’s well worth the price of admission if you’re an RPG lover.
his is a game that’s easy to fall in love with and allows you to have a lot of fun right at the start but it can be a bit overwhelming for some.
