Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition is actually what it says it is, definitive. It isn’t some DLC stapled to an original release, but a more optimized, fluid, and fully realized experience that players new or old will be able to get something from, and feel absolutely giddy as they get to take in new changes that make sense without harming what was delivered over three years ago.
Planet Coaster: Console Edition is certainly something. It may be the most complex simulation title we have ever seen on a console, and with updates and more fine-tuning, I could easily see it maintaining its value for this entire generation of consoles as it has enough here that one could easily sink hundreds of hours in.
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory may be just fan service of sorts, but it is also one of the most enjoyable rhythm action titles to come along in years.
While it doesn’t change much from its predecessor Death end re;Quest 2 tells a gripping tale that combines great horror themes with solid RPG mechanics that will surprise most players.
Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues will certainly be acceptable to fans as it does capture the product it is representing. That said, as a video game, and a beat-em up at that – it simply feels far too rushed and rough to recommend. Strike Hard, Strike First, No Mercy...ish
Shantae: Risky’s Revenge still holds up well, and despite the fact that we have seen it ported before, its inclusion on the Switch was executed with love and finesse.
Ben 10: Power Trip is honestly a fun, innocent game that shows the developers at least cared enough to create something special.
Crash 4: It’s About Time isn’t as much of a rebirth as it is a reminder. The Crash games were a lot of fun and many were able to get into platformers through this franchise alone.
WWE Battlegrounds is not a bad game at its core. The combat is over-the-top, campy, and fun, and it achieves its ability to be satisfying by at least capturing the feel for the roster within overall.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater: 1+2 was the best take on its genre three generations ago, and it is back to take its throne as the finest example of a skating game today.
Project Cars 3 is a great racing title that is sure to satisfy people who are ready to hop in, grind some races, and customize their own experience.
They say lightning doesn’t strike twice. Maybe the first Deadly Premonition was an accident, or maybe it was just good enough for that cult following to remember. For that, I can say it can all be debunked. I think Deadly Premonition 2 displays SWERY’s capability to develop.
Namco Museum Archives: Volume 1 and 2 is yet another worthy compilation that feels right at home on the Switch.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted is a bad port. There isn’t really any other way to state it. While this concept sounds great and even works fine in the world of virtual reality, no thought or proper usage of the Switch makes Help Wanted feel broken and shallow.
A Cat Girl Without Salad: Amuse-Bouche is a fine game that is well worth the price of admission. This is the kind of game you need to get when you have some credit on your Switch and just want something easy and fun to play, and the content should please anyone wanting a laugh or a quick getaway from reality.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York boasts a strong story set in an already rich world
Things may start slow but once Animal Crossing: New Horizons gets going players will find themselves sucked into an idyllic world for potentially years to come, even if it is only for short periods of time each sitting.
Vitamin Connection is a worthy release on the Switch that is sure to give you a full dose of entertainment
Dreams offers plenty of amazing games for those just looking to enjoy someone else's creativity and a powerful suite of tools for creators to show off their skills
ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove is a jamtastic sequel that more than lives up to the original.
