It's an easy recommendation for anyone looking to fight yetis and engage in some light tower defense

6 / 10.0 - Mario Party 10
Mar 16, 2015

Mario Party is good at creating an excuse for jovial arguments and competition with friends, but it continues to favor random chance over identifiable mechanics and tactics

Boxboy finds a good balance of difficulty with puzzles that challenge, but never get too complicated or difficult

A literally endless supply of Mario levels is at your fingertips, as long as you don't mind if they aren't up to Nintendo's standard of quality. Getting creative with the tools is fun, and so is seeing what others have devised

Though best played alone, Yoshi's Woolly World is the best platformer starring the dinosaur mount since the Super Nintendo original

It never settles into the replayable gameplay loop it clearly aspires to, but Tri Force Heroes offers some decent Zelda action

Nov 4, 2015

Yo-Kai Watch has a great sense of humor, unique combat, and collection hooks that sink in quickly

There is a great straightforward tennis game here, but little else to hook you in and keep you coming back

The promise of seeing all 720 Pokémon is tempting, but the experience can't escape the dull combat and bland environments

6.8 / 10.0 - Pokemon Picross
Dec 3, 2015

Solving Picross puzzles with the reward of gaining new Pokémon is a great hook, but the free-to-play mechanics hold the game back from being something special

7.5 / 10.0 - FAST Racing Neo
Dec 16, 2015

The racing is fast and exciting, but a lack of activities beyond simply nabbing first place pulls the game back

Mario & Luigi continues to have the best sense of humor of Nintendo's assorted franchises, and a quicker pace in the tutorial and storytelling departments make this one of the best entries yet

6.8 / 10.0 - Project X Zone 2
Feb 12, 2016

Your mileage depends heavily on your appreciation of the characters and callbacks to familiar games. The tactical gameplay doesn't stand on its own, but the character interactions are fun

Garden Warfare 2 is an undeniably fun shooter that, unlike the first entry, offers a lot more to do alone or with a couch player

Pokkén is a fun fighter with familiar Pokémon characters and surprising depth, but it failed to become a fighter I see myself playing for years to come

Hyrule Warriors is still a fun take on the Zelda universe, and the added content is worthwhile, but the technical issues make it hard to enjoy
