Both MySims and MySims Kingdom are pleasant, upbeat games that let you be creative, and MySims Cozy Bundle lets you take your time with both.
Steam Prison: Beyond the Steam prioritizes the story, just like the original otome game, but could had a stronger focus on love interests.
Project Debut: Cooking Cafe can get tedious, but it’s so much fun to make the weirdest recipes and be rewarded for culinary crimes.
Death Note Killer Within is better than I expected it to be, but is also a game where your experience hinges on other people’s behavior and actually getting to complete a match.
Core Keeper is definitely a game those who loved Terraria and Minecraft should investigate.
Like the original Virche Evermore -ErroR: Salvation-, you’re going to experience heartbreak going through the Virche Evermore -EpiC: Lycoris-! Surprise!
Potionomics: Masterwork Edition makes me feel like someone coming to the Switch version is immediately getting access to the best version of the game.
Shin-chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is a slow life simulation game paired with an engaging adventure involving the mysterious Coal Town.
The Switch version of Yakuza Kiwami might not be the absolutely ideal way to play the first game in the Like a Dragon series, but it runs quite well on the system and remains an absolute delight.
Thronefall is an absolutely wonderful RTS game from Grizzly Games that pulls ideas from past strategy and tower defense titles, then executes them in a stylish, minimalistic manner.
I enjoyed Inti Creates’ approach to gameplay in Card-en-Ciel and appreciate how it built on the tactical deck-building found in the Mega Man Battle Network series. While it looks similar, it feels like its own thing. That’s great! Unfortunately, the actual story surrounding Neon and Ancie’s adventure is pretty weak and not handled well, and there’s no personality to any of the dungeons we explore.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom features all of the amazing hallmarks of the series, yet feels completely innovative, unique, and fresh.
I was fascinated by My Lovely Empress during my first run, when I tried to avoid bloodshed. I was shocked the second time when I stopped trying to be nice.
Arco is essentially a flawless strategy game that forces you to make difficult choices in and out of battle, then live with those consequences.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Isekai Chronicles is one of those anime games that I’d say is more than serviceable, but isn’t extraordinary.
I appreciate Castaway, as it really does capture the same vibes as a GBC Legend of Zelda game would, but wish there was more to it.
I love the concept behind Exhausted Man and feel like it is a genuinely clever game, but the nature of some of the tasks mean it’s best played in short bursts.
I feel like Natsu-Mon: 20th Century Summer Kid launched at a time when I really needed it, and that made me appreciate this cozy life sim even more. After all, it’s so rare is to enjoy weeks of freedom, discovery, and joy like this.
Thank Goodness You’re Here is one of the silliest and most absurd games I’ve ever played, thanks to its very British humor.
I appreciate Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure and what it sets out to do, as the concept is great and some puzzles are thought-provoking.
