Axiom Verge is a great game and an even greater accomplishment by a very talented developer. While some of the world design and backtracking issues caused some frustrations, I loved my time in this bio-mechanical world.
Thimbleweed Park is a great game from one of the masters of the genre and it deserves a place in your library if you have any fondness of those older titles or love stories and puzzle solving. While the faithful recreation of a point-and-click-style game may have been a brought forward some of the baggage of the past, the good shines through and through.
Slime-san is a fantastic platformer that fits perfectly on the Nintendo Switch. While some puzzles weren’t that great and the challenge could get a bit much at times, I mostly had a smile on my face or one of determination throughout my entire playthrough.
I highly recommend you play Ever Oasis, and to keep your eye on Grezzo as they have crafted a superb title that grasped me in a way I haven’t been in a very long time. Stick through some of the issues, and you will find yourself a magical adventure well deserving of your time.
I was very happy to play this title, and it felt right at home on the Nintendo Switch and being able to play on the go, and I can’t wait to see what this studio comes up with next.
Mario Kart 8 is a hallmark title and should be added to your Switch without a second thought.
For $20, NBA Playgrounds has a lot to offer, especially if you have a few friends who remember the glory days of NBA Jam. While it doesn’t quite capture lighting in a bottle, it makes a valiant effort, and deserves a look.
Puyo Puyo Tetris is such a complete package and one where you can feel the love and passion crafted by the developers. It’s been a long time since a game has grabbed me so tightly and encouraged me to get better and keep coming back for more.
Snipperclips is a fantastic launch title that, more than anything, proves the portability concept of the Nintendo Switch. Having Snipperclips wherever I go led to some great times and memories I won’t soon forget.
