Drive Girls isn't worth your time or money at almost any price.
If you're a big Senran Kagura fan then you'll likely enjoy this, and at £8.99 it isn't too pricey. It seems like all DLC characters will be a similar price though and if they're anything like this one, then you're getting a shockingly tiny amount of repetitive content for your money. I recommend skipping this one, although the Joy-con HD rumble features are pretty great.
The game becomes pretty repetitive after a few hours. If you’re a fan of the series then this is likely worth buying, but otherwise you might want to check the anime out first or wait for a sale.
If you’re a fan of the anime then Mandatory Happiness is a must-buy, especially if you want to see more of the cast and have another well-written story with twists and turns that’ll keep you guessing.
It's impossible to shake off the feeling that this game was solely phoned in to capitalise on the anime and manga's success.
Code of Princess EX doesn't justify its full price with its lack of new content, and its lack of previously included English dub, and it hasn't aged particularly well. It's a serviceable game that doesn't excel in any area, and there's not much to check out if you've played it before. otherwise it's worth picking up once it goes on sale if you're fancying a button-masher – this is made out to be an easier choice considering there's no physical version in Europe, so there's very little rush to secure a copy of this niche game.
Touhou: Genso Wanderer Reloaded is a solid game, but one with such lengthy conversations that you can't help but become tired of them. Dungeons are fun, but the repetition aspect can also become tiring, and if you've played the original version, then it's only worth picking up Reloaded if you really enjoyed the experience. There are new characters, scenarios and previously released DLC included, so there's plenty of new content to see here. It's the best Touhou game I've played, but it's difficult to recommend at its current price. It's worth a shot when it's cheaper, though.
Regardless, I'm glad I played it on Switch rather than another system as the bite-sized missions lend themselves well to portability, but there's little reason to go back after completing both routes.
Great soundtrack, less than stellar gameplay.
You do get to whip your mighty calculator out when bribing an enemy or object though, and the concept is so fun that it's a shame that it doesn't stand out as a mechanic after a couple of hours.
It's fun, but there's little depth to the gameplay and story, and it relies too heavily on making jokes.
It really isn't all that bad, but there's much better to play and a great JRPG is never too far away.
You can respect how well it fits in with the series' overall lore.
Aquria have created a game that really does feel like an MMO.
This was a ride that gripped me the further it went on.
I appreciate Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker for not rehashing the Ultimate Ninja Storm formula, and for branching out into something different. It might not be as good a fighting game as its predecessors, but it's a great team-based game that'll delight Naruto fans, and will be a great learning experience when creating Naruto games going forward.
The Lost Child may be linked to El Shaddai, but you don't need to know a thing about it to enjoy it. It features a standalone story and cast but those who don't enjoy the genre won't enjoy this. I wish there was more to investigating and that so many assets weren't being reused so often, but The Lost Child is a solid first-person dungeon-crawler with an addicting capture mechanic and an engaging enough story to keep you wondering how it'll end.
Temper your expectations because this experience isn't quite as magical as it could've been.
Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet is proof that the Sword Art Online games get better with each installment.
Won't entice those who've already dismissed the series.
