Golfinite is a cute little golf sim that sports a few neat ideas coupled with a retro style that looks and sounds nice. It's a simple affair that could benefit from some tweaks or extras. I still enjoyed my time with it, for what it's worth.
Starward Rogue presents a solid shooter experience with a rocking soundtrack and plenty of action as you blast your way through five floors of bullet-riddled mayhem.
Knights of the Rogue Dungeon is simple yet addictive. This dungeon-hopping game truly matches the phrase "easy to pick up, hard to put down", with a strong replay element. Upgrades, enemies, music, and layout make this one easy to enjoy.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a splendid return to form for the series. The developers have done a terrific job with an original story and a visually impressive title that's well implemented on the Switch. The smooth gameplay, terrific map system, and satisfying combat and exploration make this a must-play for genre fans.
Overall, Tevi is a beautiful-looking side-scrolling metroidvania with bullet hell and RPG elements. A heavy load of dialogue slows things down initially, but there's a deep game hiding beneath the surface with satisfying action and gameplay.
EA Sports FC 24 is ambitiously big. It features an astounding number of real-life players and teams, and no shortage of content. It's about as authentic as you can get on the Switch. Despite a few graphical blips and an overwhelming menu system, this is an easy title to recommend to fans.
SteamWorld Build is another great entry in this long-running series. This latest outing encouraged me to give simulations another go, taking a series I enjoy and introducing me to a genre I'm not usually fond of. The relaxing style and intuitive gameplay make this an accessible and interesting title for all players.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the Mario game we didn't know we wanted. This long-running series is no stranger to new mechanics and Wonder adds to the list with a completely fresh take while staying true to its roots. Simply put, it's a joy to play.
Overall, Super Solitaire is good, though it lacks alternate modes and thus presents basically one simple card game at a relatively hefty price. While it features reasons to replay, it's essentially the same formula every time. There are plenty of alternatives on the eShop for much cheaper. Fans will enjoy it, but it's more appealing on sale.
Dave the Diver is successfully combines two very different genres. The deep-sea diving is action packed, full of exploration and a great soundtrack. The restaurant-sim side is put together in a way that’s challenging without being overwhelming. I highly recommend this title!
With circuits spanning new and old entries in the series, Wave 6 marks a well-balanced end to the Booster Course Pass. From humble beginnings on the SNES to the most recent Tour courses, this collection feels like the perfect combination.
Bish Bash Bots takes the tower defense formula and shakes it up. The ability to directly take out enemies on the field coupled with the usual deployment of defensive towers makes this a unique title. Add cute, cartoony graphics and extra incentives like costumes and missions, and you're in for a good time.
Detective Pikachu Returns is a welcome return for our mystery-solving duo. Although it comes across as simple in many ways, you'll still find enjoyment if you're in the mood for a relaxing game with a good story.
Overall, Sunshine Manor is a uniquely spine-tingling title that scratches that Halloween itch with cartoony gore. The terrific visuals and excellent soundtrack, not to mention the ghostly plot of exploration, create a creepy-yet-fun vibe just in time for Halloween.
TY the Tasmanian Tiger 4: Bush Rescue Returns is a strong platformer with a uniquely Aussie charm. A lot of care has gone into bringing TY's fourth outing to life on the Switch, with delightful audiovisuals that immerse the player in the outback.
Touhou: New World is the refreshing, fast-paced RPG you didn't know you wanted. If you're after something a little lighter and a little different, this one might be worth your time.
Super Bomberman R 2 is a fun return to the world of bomb-toting multiplayer madness. It's easy to recommend for the Battle Mode alone, but there's also a solid Story Mode to keep you entertained, despite some design flaws.
Overall, Mr. Run and Jump is a colorful, tricky platformer that will get your heart racing. If you relish the challenge of replaying levels until you get them right, or collecting everything in sight, you'll get a kick (and a run and a jump) out of this one.
Moving Out 2 provides more of the same slapstick shenanigans in a world of clumsy movers and fragile items. The silly humor is present and accounted for with more levels to conquer while you laugh along. The developers have played it safe with minor changes that improve the experience overall.
This May Madness Lies blends JRPG elements with the world of William Shakespeare. It has a lot going for it, from a humorous story to a wonderful 16-bit styling that smacks of classic '90s titles. It's not the toughest or longest title, but fans of anime, Shakespeare, or JRPGs in general, will find much enjoyment here.
