Despite its promise, AEW: Fight Forever comes out of the gate lacking direction. In a market that would gladly accept another classic, disappointment due to a lack of structure leads to this match ending quickly for the debuting franchise.
Cassette Beasts has a lot of promise, but bugs and stuttering drain the fun from the Switch version at the time of this review.
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.

Detective Pikachu Returns attempts big things with a sequel, but lacks the substance to pull off an engaging experience.
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
It looks like Bluey and sounds like Bluey, but Bluey: The Videogame falls short in capturing the magic that makes the show so endearing.

A fleshed out Nicktoons cast come together for a big brawl that leaves a lot to be desired.
Star Wars Battlefront Collection is a nostalgic blast from the past, but misses the mark with its included online mode. While it is worth a revisit, this is not the definitive way to play the classics.
Sonic Superstars is a solid title with a lot of appeal, but lacks the imagination and soul that made this mascot a star.
Wrestlequest has some fantastic combat mechanics and a ton of nods to the world of wrestling but gets weighed down by its own substance far too often.
LISA: Definitive Edition packages two titles that are sure to make the player feel some emotion. With familiar gameplay and a grim plot, there is sure to be a classic under here for a specific audience.
Mario and friends return to the field with a lot to love, but in a package that comes with its own limitations due to a lack of content.
R-Type Final 2 is fun in bursts, but makes too many tedious choices to live up to the franchise that came before it.
This Olympics compilation may be bare bones, but collects its medals by focusing on accessibility and solid gameplay.
Greak: Memories of Azur is a well-executed adventure that reaches for the stars but never quite leaves orbit.
