Hellpoint is an excellent take on the Souls-like formula that incorporates some fresh new ideas despite a few hiccups.
At the end of the day, Crysis Remastered is an excellent port of a legendary video game. Some of the mechanics feel dated and a little odd sometimes, but the remaster remains true to what the original game was all about, which feels like a more important goal given the game's age and this being far away from a full on remake. Crysis is still visually stunning and sets a standard for what Nintendo Switch games can look like. Crysis Remastered is a must-play for fans of the series, which hasn't seen a new entry in quite some time.
Runs very well but has issues with controls and repetition.
A simple yet interesting fighting game.
Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme VS Maxiboost On can be overwhelming at first, but it is a very rewarding fighting game.
Banner of the Maid is an excellent strategy RPG that is hindered slightly by its sexualization of women.
The Ambassador: Fractured Timelines is not a bad game, but it is dreadfully boring.
Spiritfarer is a deeply personal management game that forces players to care about their passengers and come to terms with the fact that everyone dies.
Star Renegades takes a familiar genre and story but alters them dramatically with unique combat systems.
Doraemon: Story of Seasons is a very cute anime-style farming simulator that remains fun and relaxing from beginning to end.
The Long Gate can be fun when it works, but a lot of the time it winds up being a frustrating experience for those without knowledge of circuits implemented in this fashion. This is not built for all gamers, and instead is better suited to those that understand a fair bit about math and engineering. Those with a in-depth understanding of how this circuitry works to begin with will get a lot more out of it, and probably have a blast with the more difficult challenges. The Long Gate's finer points are sadly lost on those of us without an advanced scientific background, however.
Drake Hollow is beautiful and adorable, but its combat mechanics and repetitive structure become frustrating.
Until You Fall has all the cornerstones of a great VR game. It combines excellent gameplay with smart physics systems on top of a killer video game soundtrack. There isn't really a story to Until You Fall other than "kill everything in your path," but that is perfectly fine. Without a storyline, players instead get to focus on and become engrossed in one of the strongest VR games available on any platform.
Darksburg struggles to find its ground as it attempts to pull ideas from too many different genres.
Onee Chanbara Origin isn't a great game, but it has much more fun combat and smoother visuals than previous entries in the series.
9 Monkeys of Shaolin is a nostalgic look back at old-school beat em' up games that is improved by charming visuals and light RPG mechanics.
Terror Squid is a well-made arcade title with interesting gameplay, but there is nowhere near enough content to keep players occupied for long periods.
Supraland is a charming and impressive action-puzzle game that pulls inspiration from Zelda, Metroid, and Portal.
Those who grew up playing skateboarding games will feel right at home playing Rekt! High Octane Stunts, with an added appeal for those who also enjoy car titles. The game combines fun challenges with a wide array of different tricks to let players have fun riding around each map either by themselves or with friends. Rekt! does suffer from a lack of variety in map types, which can get old pretty quickly, but it's a strong choice for gamers who want short, measured bursts of excitement or a quick distraction that doesn't require much investment at all.
Dirt 5 is an excellent racing game that manages to combine impressive visuals with exhilarating racing.
