Jed Whitaker's Reviews
A Hat in Time is a short but great spiritual successor to Super Mario 64 and the best 3D platformer released on PC this year.
If you're thinking about playing RiME, I urge you to do so elsewhere and at a price point you're comfortable with.
Objectively, this is the worst version of Doom, but that doesn't really matter because it is the best version on the Nintendo Switch.
Super Beat Sports succeeds at doing something familiar but fresh with the rhythm genre and is a blast to play with friends.
Super Lucky's Tale is a generic and forgettable 3D platformer. Xbox fans deserve better.
Bubsy: The Woolies Strikes Back is thankfully only about an hour long so we can go back to forgetting Bubsy exists.
Tiny Barbarian DX may look like just another indie platformer on the surface, but it is so much more than that.
The Jackbox Party Pack 4 is one of the better titles in the series that includes a game about dating monsters, as well as a few unfortunate bugs.
Spelunker Party! Is a hardcore yet cute platformer that you can play in its entirety with up to four players locally or online. What a novelty!
Yono and the Celestial Elephants is an adorable Zelda-like about a woke elephant doing his best to help people, zombies, and robots co-exist.
Golf Story is another must play Switch exclusive for more than just golf or RPG fans.
Hob is a beautiful but unoriginal Zelda-like that lacks an interesting story and has mind-numbingly dull combat and exploration.
If Super Metroid had pretty great procedurally-generated levels and roguelike elements, it would basically be A Robot Named Fight!
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is an ugly but otherwise enjoyable fighting game with recognizable characters, a ton of cutscenes, and is approachable for newcomers.
Songbringer is a randomly generated top-down Zelda-like that has a surprisingly cohesive story and may be worth a play if you can snag it on sale.
Knack 2 isn't the game of the year we have been waiting for, instead it's just more Knack. Who asked for this?
Lawbreakers is Cliff Bleszinski's new hardcore competitive shooter that doesn't do enough to stand out from the competition and has a steep learning curve.
Nidhogg is back with muppet-like characters, new weapons, a new coat of paint, and not a lot else.
In a land filled with adorable slimes one green-haired girl becomes a rancher and collects their poops to make a living. Slime Rancher is one of the cutest games out there.
A diverse narrative-driven space adventure for people wanting actual emotions and relationships in their games; that is Tacoma.
