Manual Samuel remains a must-have on Nintendo Switch, especially if you've not already played it. [OpenCritic note: Richard Seagrave separately reviewed the XB1 (9) and Switch (8) versions. His scores have been averaged.]
Madden NFL 19 is more of an evolution than a revolution then, but what else did anyone expect? It's a refinement of last year's effort with further graphical prowess, more fluidity and a sprinkling of new features. It's just a shame that its Longshot Homecoming mode is such a let-down.
Despite all of its problems, there's just something about Flipping Death that wins you over.
Dead Cells is such an easy game to recommend.
Salt and Sanctuary is dark. It's just how it is. And being honest, it's all the better for it. On the Switch's small screen though, the darkness of most of the environments coupled with the zoomed out camera makes it hard to see certain enemies and their attacks.
Jump Gunners probably isn't the best game to pick up simply for its single player features. For those who like to get some friends around and engage in some highly entertaining multiplayer action, however, I'd say it's a must-have.
If Code of Princess EX's combat was just a little bit better, it'd be quite a solid game.
If you want to play a third-person cover shooter, stick to the Gears of War series on Xbox or the Uncharted series on PS4 for now. All of their entries are cheaper than Gene Rain, and they all offer many times more fun.
Remothered generates just as much frustration as it does atmosphere, making it one of those games that you want to love but can't because it just keeps kicking you in the face.
It may be unspectacular, but there will be many who'll fall under Aces of the Luftwaffe – Squadron's charm.
Overall then, while Archangel: Hellfire's single player mode is undoubtedly entertaining, its multiplayer modes are where the game really comes into its own.
So, whether or not you should buy Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 + 2 really depends on how much of a Mega Man fan you are.

Featuring some other quality of life improvements such as numerous graphic filter options and the ability to remap the controls, Gekido: Kintaro's Revenge may appeal to some. But I can't help but wonder how much more fun the game would be if its enemies weren't quite so numerous and resilient. And also if it had a hell of a lot less travelling back and forth.
Super Destronaut DX is one hell of a retro inspired title. Be sure to pick it up if it sounds like something you'd be interested in; you won't be disappointed.
Tempest 4000 then, is a great game. But if you want it, you're going to have to part with more cash than you probably expected to.
Danger Zone 2 is hugely enjoyable.
Only after you've exhausted all worthwhile alternatives is All-Star Fruit Racing worth giving a go, and also probably after a hefty discount.
If you're a fan of platform games or roguelikes, 20XX comes highly recommended.
It's one of the best fighting games available on Nintendo Switch even with its issues, and it's yours for a bargain price. If you want a fast-paced fighting game that has got huge amounts of character, you really can't go wrong.
