Two Point Hospital is an excellent spiritual successor to Theme Hospital with modern mechanics and a charming aesthetic.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps is an exceptional sequel that builds upon the foundations established in the original.
All in all, MLB The Show 20 remains perhaps the deepest sports title on modern consoles. There's so much to do, it's the rare game that can keep a sports fan occupied for ¾ of a year, easily. It's not a vast improvement from the prior year's offering, but possesses enough upgrades to justify the purchase leap.
Doom Eternal does its legacy proud. Unabashedly difficult, frantic, and single player-centric, it knows what it is…and does it well.
Ultimately, how much enjoyment you get out of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX depends upon how big of a fan of the franchise you are; the gameplay, whilst nothing revolutionary, is solid enough to grab your attention but really does start get grindy as all get out by the later stages of the game.
Samurai Showdown for the Switch is a brilliant reboot of a terrific classic fighter. Its unique fighting mechanics persist, backed by a beautiful presentation upgrade. Still, its online community is lacking, and its uniqueness may be off-putting to many.
Overall Kunai is a very capable Metroidvania clone that can easily stand up with the rest. It also offers its own unique charm and style to make it a game really worth spending your time and money on.
An excellent action-RPG with deep combat systems, fun customisation and a striking setting. let down by a generic story.
Lolita and Jack Torrance share a hotel as the ghosts of their past haunt a daughter stranded in a blizzard.
If Eye of the Beholder had merged with Syndicate while watching Bladerunner... you would get Conglomerate 451.
A little more story, a lot more brutal boss battling equals a potentially disappointing DLC.
If you like games like Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia then you will most likely enjoy Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if you are a fan of the previous versions then this may well tickle your fancy.
Tiny Living has a couple of fun new items, and the small house objective is intriguing. But there's just not enough to it to validate a purchase.
One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is a fun but flawed fighting game. Regardless, it's funny and true to the anime enough to be given a chance.
I definitely recommend this game for anyone who wants something that is story driven but wants something to play casually without having to commit to a 1000-hour saga.
An intuitive and ingenious user-friendly game creation engine that truly embodies Media Molecule's mantra of Play, Create, Share.
If you're a Darksiders diehard, consider picking up Daksiders Genesis on a different platform. It's near unplayable on the Switch, but has the seeming makings of a better outcome, elsewhere.
Despite definitely showing their age in some respects, both Vanquish and Bayonetta hold up extremely well against modern counterparts when it comes to the pitch perfect gameplay. If you missed either of these titles upon their initial release, there's really no excuse to not give them a look in if you're even slightly a fan of the third person action genre.
It's a tough call as to whether to recommend the game or not. I think what it boils down to is, did you like the original game but have trouble getting it to play now, if so then certainly this is a great purchase for you. Do you like the older style RTS games with less minute detail to focus on and a stripped back easier mechanic, then this might tickle your fancy. But if you need absolutely all the bells and whistles, to have complete control over everything and the most up to date state of the art… then perhaps give it a miss.
In terms of would I recommend the game, yes I would, if you are the sort of person who likes the added challenge of big brutes breaking up your otherwise sniper fueled game then you will probably love it. If you've enjoyed the previous games in the series then this should be an easy choice of buy. If you are like me though and don't like having to totally shift gears and fight up close battles in a game that revolves around long range combat then maybe give it a miss… unless you regularly have group gaming sessions in which case multiplayer may well make it worth your while.
