Hell is Empty perfectly pays off what was built up in the first two episodes while also providing a bridge to the original series.
DOOM VFR is an outstanding, but limited, game. The lack of arcade and multiplayer content hurts the overall package, but it does its sole purpose of replicating the campaign in VR incredibly well. The fat has been trimmed from it resulting in an "all killer, no filler" approach that keeps the tension and action levels at a high point that exceeds even the base campaign from the reboot. Anyone who enjoyed that and wants to play it in VR should do so if they have a Vive or a PlayStation VR.
Party Planet succeeds at offering a lot of variety in one package, but the quality of the games wildly varies.
Aside from sub-par sound design, Gear.Club Unlimited offers up an outstanding racing experience for Switch. It straddles the line nicely between offering up a sim-infused experience while keeping the on-track action fast and exciting. The amount of racing types available is impressive and the sense of progression makes it easy for a quick play session to turn into a marathon.
Road Rage takes the Road Rash formula and fails to live up to any single entry in that series despite great advances in technology since its last entry — let alone its heyday.
Super Lucky's Tale is a fine 3D platformer.
Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back may not be perfect, but it's easily the best Bubsy game ever made.
Summon Night 6: Lost Borders excellently brings together visual novels and tactical RPGs. Fans of the visual novel portion may be turned off a bit by the English voice-over work, but the story itself is amusing.
Time Recoil is an outstanding top-down strategy game that gives off the appearance of a top-down shooter.
Poi's greatest weakness lies in its sound design, but the core game is well-crated and a lot of fun.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 2: Brave New World is an excellent entry in the series.
Featuring an enormous roster of over 200 characters with revamped gameplay, WWE 2K18 is a solid upgrade from last year's game.
Stardew Valley brings a mix of farming and life simulation to the Switch and the platform is absolutely perfect for it.
Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth continues the trend of the first game and improves upon its combat.
A Robot Named Fight combines a blaster-centric Metroidvania with a roguelite and works wonderfully.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm – Episode 1: Awake starts the prequel series off strong with a narrative that makes you care about Chloe in an all-new way.
Yakuza Kiwami remakes the original game in a near-perfect way.
Crashday: Redline Edition is an excellent pickup for anyone who loves intense racing action.
Super Cloudbuilt is an impressive upgrade from the original.
Micro Machines World Series is a great buy for anyone who enjoyed prior entries in the series or simply wants a great racing game that the whole family can enjoy.
