Marvel's Spider-Man perfectly revitalized the Spider-Man gaming franchise back in 2018 and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an excellent follow-up.
Astro's Playroom is an irresistible delight.
Arguably and oddly enough, Fuser is at its best when it focuses more on creating music and less on being a traditional rhythm game.
While there are minor complaints about Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, they are just that: minor.
Of the many titles from Wii U that still need and deserve to be ported to Switch, Pikmin 3 Deluxe was a great choice to bring over.
Ray's the Dead is a hard game to either recommend or trash, balanced neatly between being a charming and much-smarter-than-it-looks zombie-fest and a buggy mess punctuated by painfully blatant '80s nostalgia.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope is a notable improvement over Man of Medan, thanks to its vastly superior plot that manages to keep you hooked and interested in the characters as you try to keep them alive.
Transformers Battlegrounds is well-crafted when it comes to being a fine gateway into the tactical RPG genre.
Part Time UFO is a surprise release that brings a charming new puzzle title to Switch. The levels are fantastic amounts of fun and figuring out how to solve and beat all the challenges is addictive.
Watch Dogs: Legion aims to be a truly ambitious entry in the series with its Legion system, but to paraphrase Ian Malcolm, the developers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
Mad Rat Dead is a bizarre game in many ways, but also one that executed its concept about as well as could be imagined.
Fans of either F-Zero or Wipeout will undeniably and thoroughly enjoy PACER. The methodology behind this title is the same that you would see in Wipeout as the project began with many of the same people involved in the original games.
Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues manages to deliver a lot of excitement despite a myriad of flaws.
Though it may feel like a case of "more of the same" as opposed to some grand, fourth-and-final leap forward, Trails of Cold Steel IV just about manages to achieve success in maintaining that kind of familiar yet high standard the saga has satisfied long-time fans with.
Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods – Part One is an addendum to the base game experience.
Let's be clear here: a tightly-crafted, bug free game that does exactly what it wants to do, Ghostrunner deserves an audience.
Pumpkin Jack has rough edges to it, but it still delivers a fun experience in spite of them.
The more die-hard fans of the first game may be able to get past the more frustrating elements of GONNER2, but others may be turned off by how cheap it can get at times. Still, the core gameplay is simple yet enjoyable, and like before, GONNER2 looks and sounds stunning. But the end result is like when you watch an older cartoon at a higher FPS: it's faster, still pretty, and the content at the core is still the same, yet there's still this awkward quality to it that's just hard to ignore.
Zoids Wild: Blast Unleashed is the Zoids game fans have been waiting for.
Disc Room expertly blends together the simple yet unique mechanics of Minit and the lightning-quick carnage and quick challenges of High Hell, so yes, the end result is akin to peanut butter and chocolate.
