Harrison Milfeld's Reviews
While newcomers may find some shortcomings in the whole package, hardcore fans will still find it a delight. Sure, it feels rather dated, but this port of a Neo Geo Pocket Color classic still hits the mark where it counts.
While there isn't much to chew on aside from, well, collecting all the loot you can muster, Loot Hero DX still works well as a quick, mindlessly fun adventure.
Just as it was when originally released in 2012, Double Dragon Neon is still a well-made and well-thought out reboot of the arcade classic that will certainly please veterans and newcomers to Billy and Jimmy Lee's adventures.
While it's nothing new in the realm of retro puzzle platformers, More Dark has enough value to keep you engaged throughout some of its brain-teasing levels.
Despite lacking in post-game content, there is still just enough in Area 86's varied escape room challenges to warrant a quick look.
With new features, modes, and various quality of life upgrades from its mobile origins, Part Time UFO on Switch continues to exemplify the fun and quirky sensibilities of HAL Labs without losing a step or grip.
While the idea behind CrossKrush makes for a neat distraction as a puzzler, it simply can't hold your attention beyond a few passing minutes.
Coupled with a fun sketchbook art style and a hodgepodge of ideas from brawlers of the past, Super Punch Patrol does enough to stand out just enough in the beat 'em up crowd.
Despite the usual tropes of twin-stick shooters, RogueCube is a brief but neat little distraction with a fun weapon selection mechanic that's best played with a group of friends.
Decades after being cancelled at the last minute, the revived Ultracore offers a fun and tight action-packed retro experience even if it's a little unfair in various parts.
Radio Squid has varying moments of charm with its monochrome look and fun chiptune soundtrack. But, sadly, it falls short due to a beat-based shooting mechanic that continually works against you and feels half-baked.
While it does exhibit a lot of absurd charm, this HD remaster of Munch's Oddysee simultaneously holds up both with its unique characters and world while also showing its age in varying degrees in its gameplay.
At its core, Ego Protocol: Remastered is a harmless puzzle affair, but quickly becomes a forgettable exercise in blandness.
While EQQO has a few shortcomings that are quite apparent, it's multi-layered, touching story and easy-to-understand puzzle mechanics make this journey worth a look.
Sadly lacking all the options seen in previous entries, Stay Cool Kobayashi-san! may entertain longtime Kunio-kun fans but others will find it bare bones and forgettable.
Killer Queen Black is a fun and faithful recreation of the original arcade title. While the aspect of simulating ideal 4v4 local multiplayer matches has its technical issues, the transition from the arcade to home consoles surely doesn't lose any of its competitive addictiveness.
Astral Chain is a wonderfully fun and ambitious action title with a great gameplay hook that improves the more you master the basics. It's yet another example of why PlatinumGames continues to be one of the best in crafting a unique action-adventure hack-and-slash.
River City Girls is a vibrant, colorful, and surprisingly fresh take on the classic beat 'em up series. While small annoyances may hinder its pacing, the overall package from WayForward still packs a few good kicks and punches.
While not a fully deep experience for those familiar to the genre, Image & Form's first attempt at a card-based RPG still pays off in spades with a satisfying gameplay hook and journey that oozes with colorful charm.
Even if its best experienced using a VR headset as it was originally intended, Neverout on Switch is at most worth a quick look for it concept and intriguing puzzles.
