Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator blends puzzle, simulator, and style for an enchanting brew that’s hard to resist.
The Oregon Trail has been brought to the modern day with mindfulness and a wide-breadth of enhanced gameplay.
My Fantastic Ranch is a gentle dip into the Simulation pool’s shallow end that will definitely whet the appetite for more advanced experiences.
Doraemon Story of Seasons: Friends of the Great Kingdom is a great game and an even greater collaboration between iconic franchises.
Potionomics is a genuinely unique take on the sim genre that blends strategy with fun, and bolsters it with lovable and engaging characters.
Persona 5 Royal may be one of the best Switch-ports to date, and should absolutely be played by fans and newcomers alike.
Digimon Survive balances an intriguing, more mature Digimon story with excellent turn-based strategy combat that evokes the spirit of the anime.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is an amazing—albeit, questionably expensive add on.
Salt and Sacrifice is bloody, brutal, and beyond enjoyable!
While a mostly fun experience, Kirby and the Forgotten Land definitely forgets a lot of the things that make the pink puffball’s games so unique.
While not wholly deviod of quality, that Marvelous released Rune Factory 5 in it's current state, is pretty shameful.
Triangle Strategy is a scalene in structure—functionally it works, but no one side feels equal.
Solar Ash is a non-stop roller-coaster of pulse pounding gameplay and intriguing narrative. A must-play!
DUSK is a bloody good time on Switch that perfectly evokes the spirit of the best 90’s shooters.
The Good Life is a strange mix of photography-game and life-sim, and while it's not perfect, its flaws are covered by a weirdly charming premise.
But where Death’s Gambit: Afterlife falls apart, for me anyway, is that it’s just boring. That’s not to be confused with bad, because it definitely isn’t, but there really isn’t anything about it that made me want to keep playing it, or ever return to it—not when I would sooner go back to Bloodborne for the 19th time. It just looks and plays too much like other games before it, without anything wholly unique to separate it from the rest.
Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania is a loving recreation and just pure, uncomplicated FUN!
While Aragami 2 suffers some of the same flaws as its predecessor, it’s an excellent stealth game that’s sure to please most Ninjas.
Like a toss of the dice, Lost in Random can be truly inspired at times, and a little underwhelming at others.
Garden Story is a wonderful and unique take on the sim-adventure genre, and it’s definitely worth a look.
