Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is a unique and incredibly charming game that is constantly changing and constantly engaging.
Thick as Thieves lays the foundation for an excellent stealth-based Immersive Sim, but locks so much of what could've been built on it behind draconian online multiplayer design.
Much like the pottery it's based on, Kiln is a game that has some creativity but is pretty empty on the inside.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an impressive port on Nintendo Switch 2-maintaining the fun and excitement of the films, and the impressive qualities of its console brethren.
Outbound is a super-cozy trek through the wilderness that prioritizes player freedom, but might be too slow for fans of the genre.
Call of the Elder Gods is a decent enough game, but its storytelling and puzzle design leaves a little to be desired
