Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice shines as few games do. It has beautiful stories, amazing characters, and twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat. If you're a fan of Ace Attorney, this is a game you must play.
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is a beautifully made, wonderfully crafted, and totally fun adventure. It's got great characters, fun gameplay that'll keep you entertained throughout, epic bosses that'll keep you on your toes, and plenty of collectables that'll have you going back through the levels multiple times.
Batman: The TellTale Series Season 01 is a great view into the world of TellTale's Batman. Complete with beautiful worlds, deep characters, and fun twists that'll have you guess what you did, and didn't do, from start to finish. If you're up for a deep look at the man under the cowl, this is one Batman adventure you'll want to do.
While beautiful in some aspects, Toby: The Secret Mine fails to grasp its potential, and leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth. It's short, way too challenging, and way too random at points that will frustrate even the most patient of gamers.
Just when you think Legend of Zelda can't get any better, Breath of the Wild proves that this series has depth to spare. Beautifully rendered, wonderfully designed, and expertly crafted both in story and in gameplay, Breath of the Wild will have you playing for quite some time, and then some time after that.
Puyo Puyo Tetris has a deep Adventure Mode, plenty of ways to play, and is guaranteed to make you smile. If you're looking to have fun in a puzzle game and just so happen to have a Nintendo Switch? Then Puyo Puyo Tetris is for you!
Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia proves that looking back doesn't mean missing something. In fact, this will definitely go down as one of the greatest Fire Emblem games in my opinion. Great characters, powerful story, challenging combat, this game has it all.
Splatoon 2 is an incredible sequel that brings you new joy while still maintaining the fun and style that made it great. New weapons and Salmon Run make the sequel stand out even more, and this is a must buy for all Switch owners!
Batman: The Enemy Within returns us to Gotham, and shows that darkness never really goes away. Full of twists, turns, surprise arrivals and cameos, and a deeper relationship system, "The Enigma" gets us very excited for what's coming.
With tight and brilliant gameplay, fun scenes featuring both Mario and Rabbids characters, a very detailed world, and challenges that'll keep you coming back, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch.
While not as good as the season premiere, Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode 2 - The Pact brings some very interesting storylines and characterizations to the forefront, and puts both Batman and Bruce Wayne into some very interesting positions.
Fire Emblem Warriors proves that with the right team, any kind of genre is befitting. With true loyalty to what the franchise is, plenty of characters to be, and lots of enemies to fight, this is one game you shouldn't pass up.
Super Mario Odyssey had a lot of potential, and it lived up to it in just about every way imaginable. Go get this game, it's one of the best ones out there.
Players new and old took to the spotlight in Batman - The Enemy Within Episode 3, and it was clear just how your decisions would affect those around you. "Fractured Mask" indeed.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is an absolute gem that every Switch owner should have. Prepare to get lost in the amazing world, characters, plot, and battle system as you seek to find Elysium.
I do look forward to seeing how everything ends this season. They've got a perfect setup, now let's see if they execute it.
One part co-op adventure (that you can play by yourself), one part puzzle-solving journey, and many parts Tower Defense game, Aegis Defenders balances a lot of things, and it gets most of it right.
With two vastly different storylines, Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode 5: Same Stitch brings the story of the Joker to an epic climax where you decide the fate of your friend/foe.
While BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle may have surprised many with its announcement, the release will surprise even more by just how good it is. If you're a fan of any of these franchises, you should check out this game.
Octopath Traveler is a must-have game on the Nintendo Switch for both RPG fans and fans of great games. It's not a perfect RPG, but it's definitely one of the best ones of recent memory.
