With the promise of DLC, on top of the essentially endless gameplay, Forager is easily something you’ll get bang for your buck with.
The Hotline Miami Collection provides one excellent game and one very good game, and between unlocking all of the weapons, masks, and finding the secrets that hide beneath its blood soaked, neon exterior, you’ll be coming back at least a few times to try and master it all.
Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Complete Edition is easily the best way to experience these games.
Spirit of Justice stands as a return to classic Phoenix Wright, giving fans more of what they love.
Moonlighter is a very solid product overall, but there are parts that feel like they could have done a lot more with. It's got great graphics, a simple, yet rewarding premise, and combat is satisfying despite its shortcomings.
Control gripes aside, I'm quite impressed with Spectra. The high-quality audio, the simple, yet surprising depth of gameplay, and the clean visuals all come together to provide a title that should provide plenty of enjoyment to those who opt to purchase it. My only concern lies in what sort of ways they can improve the game even further.
There's plenty to like about Marble It Up! in its current form, but if you're not a diehard fan of the genre, it may be worth waiting for a sale due to how short Marble It Up! feels. It's absolutely a well-crafted experience that looks, sounds, and plays great. It's just a little frustrating to see another indie game on the Switch eShop that feels a little light on content, especially with its price point.
Donut County is a wholly enjoyable romp that can be powered through in an afternoon, but it's worth going back to try and find some of it's hidden or not so hidden secrets, even if there are only a few of them to begin with.
Enemies and levels are varied, and each location feels truly unique…
I love the idea behind Dreii's design as well. Working with others in this game is co-operative in every sense of the word…
Each enemy is surprisingly challenging, making fights a lot more calculated than you'd expect out of a title that has its roots in the mobile game industry.
It feels like Klang tried to do too much at once, but with a bit more time spent towards pacing, the game would have progressed a lot smoother, making this Rave Warrior’s journey a real home run. If you’re looking for a game that has a fair bit of replay value, and is flush with quality gameplay and music, then you would be very pleased with what Klang has to offer.
The mechanics are not unique, but the way it’s presented already showcases the strong writing of this game, and that level of storytelling remains consistent throughout.
The technical shortcomings do have me hesitant to recommend this over the other versions if you have the means to play them, but if the Switch is the only console you have, you'll still get your money's worth, without a doubt.
MotoGP 19 is a huge leap in the right direction, with this being an excellent title for the fans of MotoGP. Milestone’s making the right steps, and their next entry could be the de facto MotoGP experience if they keep trending upward. They continue to improve the quality of the game with each release to marked effect, and it’s safe to say that MotoGP is in good hands.
Between every frustrating death, there’s a ton to like about Slain: Back From Hell, so let’s get rocking.
SOMA had the tools to come together to be something special, but like some of the AIs and machines in the game, it's not quite a complete product, but still quite enjoyable nonetheless.
As it stands in its current form, I will say that if Blasphemous’ aesthetic interests you even a little, or if you’re a fan of metroidvania-style games, then it’s absolutely worth checking out in its current form.
Is Terraria on Switch a must-buy? In its current state, I’d say no, but it’s still worth taking a chance on if it interests you at all.
