Over a decade later, Borderlands still offers righteous good times. The fact that you can now play it portably is just awesome so clear some space on your SD card and get ready to shoot some Midget Psychos in the head.
If you enjoy quirky indie games as much as I do then you'll have an absolute blast while mastering every zany level in What the Golf.
The combination of genres in Atomicrops is nothing short of clever and its gameplay lends itself well to making it a stand-out indie.
Although it has a clever premise and features nifty abstract scenarios, Those Who Remain is little more than an annoying adventure.
It may not be the most refined fighter but Synaptic Drive's highly configurable mechanics and retro aesthetic make it worth playing.
I wasn't expecting it to be as enjoyable as it is so if you're looking for a new local multiplayer game, give Aqua Lungers a try.
I've never played a similar game that features such a mode and it's simply awesome to experience a remixed campaign in a roguelike structure as you level up and play as efficiently as possible.
Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics is sure to provide hours of entertainment whether you prefer playing solo, online, or with local chums. Seeing as it's bursting with tons of enjoyable games, this is one must-have collection.
Even though Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is still the gold standard for the franchise, I enjoyed my time with Shantae and the Seven Sirens a great deal. Here's hoping the next adventure captures more of that classic half-genie magic.
Missile Command: Recharged is a cool little survival-based adaptation of the classic arcade game. Long-time fans such as myself may be disappointed by the lack of stages and strategic scoring but what's here still offers some simple fun.
As far as classic shmups go, Thunder Force AC is one of the best and the opportunity to play it on a modern console is a treat.
Xenoblade Chronicles is one of the greatest video games ever created and this Definitive Edition manages to make it even better. Plus, the lovely bonus chapter acts as a delightful cherry on top.
As far as old-school racers go, Horizon Chase Turbo is one of the best and now is a great time to check it out with its cool new update.
If you're a fan of flying games then participating in Red Wings: Aces of the Sky's dogfights will surely keep you happy for a while.
Star Horizon is a basic rail shooter that looks fantastic for a Switch indie so it's sure to provide some entertainment for genre fans.
Playing Robot Squad Simulator X is a lot like watching a robot fail video although it manages to be far less entertaining.
If it featured a variety of vehicles and more tracks, Formula Retro Racing would be a fantastic game for fans of early '90s racers.
Traversing Indivisible's beautiful world as you recruit an army of quirky characters makes for one delightful and memorable adventure.
Spirit of the North may have been a noteworthy game if it released a decade prior but it's far too uninspired in today's gaming market.
EMMA: Lost in Memories may just be the most frustrating game that I played so far this year. With its clumsy controls and overly unforgiving stages that require many attempts to merely complete, I can't recommend this to anyone but masochists.
