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.

4.5 / 5.0 - Discounty
Sep 2, 2025

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.

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.

May 11, 2025

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.

If you’re a newcomer to this game, you’ll have a blast and should look into buying the game digitally.

4.5 / 5.0 - Rainbow Moon
Mar 15, 2024

Rainbow Moon is a perfect example of an old-school RPG that deserves to be played on the Switch. It’s a really solid game but the combination of price and content puts it over the edge.

I’ve seen what the game looks like on the 3DS and blowing that up to fit the bigger Switch screen or a TV probably wouldn’t look that good without some tweaking. Fortunately FuRyu did a great job with making sure that the game looked as good as it could on the Switch.

Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is nothing like its predecessor as it has its timer mechanism and isn’t as “open-world” but it’s a really fast paced game with a lot of humor that you should consider picking up.

The game runs incredibly well on the Switch, especially if you’re using a pro controller and has enough content to last you 100 hours or more.

It’s not Three Houses but there’s still a lot in terms of gameplay and characters that people who have played Three Houses will enjoy.

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.

Digimon Story Time Stranger has one of the best storylines I have ever seen in a monster catching game and it’s incredibly fun.

Trails In The Sky has a lot going on. It’s the start of one of the greatest stories in video game history, the characters are amazing, and the sound design is top notch.

5 / 5.0 - Cyberpunk 2077
Jun 15, 2025

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.

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.

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.

5 / 5.0 - 9th Dawn Remake
May 20, 2025

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.
