4 / 5.0 - Snipperclips
Mar 21, 2017

Snipperclips gives players an overall enjoyable experience that allows them to sit down and relax while playing alone or with some friends.

Three of the new maps are fantastic and stand strong when compared to the base maps, but there's a strong sense of déjà vu about them. The final map, while good on paper, is ultimately brought down by poor design decisions, and the new weapons, while fun, are locked beyond arbitrary walls. There's a decent amount of content here, but it doesn't justify the asking price, or how long it's taken to actually get a substantial amount of new content in Battlefield 1.

88 Heroes is an excellent 2D platformer that makes great use of a unique premise to make it infinitely replayable.

3.5 / 5.0 - Fast RMX
Mar 18, 2017

Anyone who enjoys racing games and owns a Switch does not have many options for games right now beyond FAST RMX. Fortunately, it should provide players with at least a dozen hours of gameplay as they work their way from the novice cups to more advanced races.

Mar 17, 2017

Desync is not the worst first person shooter I have ever played, but it just doesn't bring anything to the table to make it that worthwhile either.

Mar 15, 2017

For its price and what its trying to do, Ghost Blade HD isn’t the worst time.

The feeling of adventure has always been present in Zelda titles, but none of the previous titles have offered the same immense feeling of freedom as Breath of the Wild. The huge world offers hours upon hours of exploration that is well worth it, but will always show the way to continue moving forward in the story at any time.

A wisecracking goblin assassin may seem like an odd choice for a protagonist, but the titular character of Styx: Shards of Darkness is enjoyable to control.

Touhou Genso Wanderer is a worthy addition to any roguelike fan's collection, and even more so for Touhou fans as there are references to their other games throughout this one.

The Shadows of Pygmalion provides a tremendously enjoyable dramatic story which showcases just how strenuous being a "hero" can be — especially when you're just a normal high schooler.

Stranger of Sword City Revisited is an improvement over the original release, making this the version to play if Stranger of Sword City is a title on your radar that you haven't gotten to yet.

3 / 5.0 - Just Dance 2017
Mar 7, 2017

Just Dance 2017 on Nintendo Switch is the definition of a port as besides allowing for new control options, there's nothing to distinguish it from other consoles.
