Challenging and unique, Deathstate blends an RPG narrative with a roguelike style and mashes it up with some classic Cthulhian horror.
Even if puzzle games aren't really your thing, the standard of writing and quality of Felix's dancing are too good to pass up. If puzzle games are for you, then look no further than Felix the Reaper.
Freedom Finger is at best hit-and-miss. For every positive, there's also an obvious flaw, but that doesn't mean it's not still a good game. It's certainly not for everyone, primarily because of the offensive tone of the game, yet the moments that really do land and the cracking soundtrack make it worth playing.
Whether you like heavy metal or not, Valfaris presents a package that's worth your attention. From start to finish Valfaris doesn't stop to take a breath, and the game's quick load times keep you coming back for more after every death.
Despite the strong story and its interesting characters, the gameplay is very clearly of a game out of time, and so feels out of place on the Switch. It's difficult to recommend, especially to newcomers, but fans of the franchise may find good reasons to visit, even if for nostalgia alone.
There's not really a lot wrong with One Person Story as a game, other than limited replay value. Perhaps it's not for everyone, veering away from more traditional puzzle games. In One Person Story, the puzzles are collateral in simply reaching the end and experiencing the story.
A good entry into what feels like a genre of old, successfully maintaining the fun, and feeling fresh when it wasn't that long ago this would've felt played out. The visuals are the real feature, especially when the package is as light as it is, altogether making it a great game for mobile, and a decent one for the Switch.
Good backgrounds and a strong soundtrack aren't enough to justify a game that feels like you've played it before. The combat offers little and feels lethargic so, unfortunately, there is very little reason to drop into Hell on this occasion.
A delightfully presented text adventure that relies too heavily on replaying old dialogue — even if the actual story is good, it may not be interesting enough to make you persevere.
Despite looking nice and offering plenty of unlockables, there's no real reason to visit this entry into the tennis game genre. It's by no means poorly made, running smoothly all the way through, it just simply lacks any sign of a satisfying game loop.
SEN is for people who need a short puzzle game to pass some time. It's a simple game that won't stay with you, but It's good for when you've had a hard day and just want to relax or channel your focus.
Tilt Pack's simplicity is both its biggest strength and weakness. The game offers very little for those playing alone, but there's a lot to enjoy if you're playing with friends.
Unfortunately, neither game in this package is overly worthwhile, mainly due to frustrating controls and awkward quirks. For the price, however, it's difficult to knock the value.
Bloodroots is a charmingly written tale of revenge. Although its story lacks originality, it makes up for it in vast weapon variety and satisfying yet challenging gameplay that keeps you coming back for more.
Overpass certainly adds an interesting take on the genre, allowing for well-trodden ground to feel fresh. Unfortunately the difficulty of the game and poor handling will prevent most from making it past the tutorial.
Exit the Gungeon is a refreshing next step for the franchise. The smaller scale comes with certain drawbacks, but it's nonetheless a worthwhile experience, even if it's not to the same standard as the original.
Bohemian Killing isn't the prettiest game in the world, but it's certainly a fascinating experience. It delivers on both its concept as a good ol' fashioned whodunnit, as well as its unconventional approach to storytelling.
A paint by numbers entry into what's becoming an inflated genre but the gameplay can still be fun despite feeling repetitive, especially late on.
Blind Men is very brief and could be improved with more detail, but it still offers an interesting story with multiple outcomes
Ion Fury is a must play experience for anybody who wants a challenge and misses the aesthetic of a '90s first person shooter.
