Warhammer 40K Inquisitor Martyr is by no means a bad game, it's just a little misguided in its execution. There's just a bit too much noise for the best bits if the game to truly stand out.
It stands on its own as an excellent addition to the genre while also bringing flavours of its own.
By and large, WarioWare Gold is a great collection of microgames with some funny moments and an oddly charismatic Wario. It’s certainly much better than Game & Wario
If you’re a Switch owner and an RPG or tabletop fan, there is absolutely no reason for you to not own Hand of Fate 2. It’s a truly exceptional title that shines even brighter on Nintendo’s console.
