Overall I've had a rocky relationship with games that lean heavily on the visual novel feel, though right off the bat I'll say that Root Film manages to far exceed the norm in the space...

Local multiplayer games, whether cooperative or competitive, have certainly become a Switch staple, but the challenge is now for developers to come up with new flavors to try to stand out...

Remasters of past games, even ones that are at least somewhat revered, can be a tricky business...
