If you want a great cooperative shooter to play with others online, Zombie Army Trilogy is the game you’re looking for.

Fighting countless hordes of bad guys never got old and proved to be a fantastic way to relieve stress. One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is a game that's worthy of being in anybody's Switch collection. Step into the shoes of your favorite Straw Hat and enter the battlefield. Trust me — you won't be disappointed.

Ultimately, Ara Fell: Enhanced Edition quenched my thirst for a retro, Chrono Trigger-like experience. With rock-solid presentation, smart writing, and a battle system that gets the job done, Ara Fell: Enhanced Edition should be a part of any classic RPG fan's collection.

7 / 10.0 - RBI Baseball 20
Mar 29, 2020

RBI Baseball 20 for Nintendo Switch provides realistic gameplay mechanics with pretty decent visuals. It's an engaging experience with a few bumps here and there.

8.5 / 10.0 - Murder by Numbers
Mar 28, 2020

Despite a few missing features, Murder by Numbers is still a delightful twist on a classic puzzle game. Fans of Ace Attorney or Picross will not want to let this one fly under their radar. This is a universe begging for a sequel.

Let’s be clear — if your age is in double digits and you’re not a fan of the show, you probably won’t enjoy Gigantosaurus the Game. That said, it’s not really aimed at you. I have young children who are fans of the show, and they enjoyed this game.

6 / 10.0 - Overpass
Mar 26, 2020

There is a lot to like about Overpass. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of issues.

One Step from Eden has great ideas and a wealth of love put into the number of spells and abilities available; it's just a shame that the breakneck pace and daunting multitasking requirements of the combat make it hard to appreciate all of that depth.

Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is raunchy, hectic, incredible superpowered fun. It's not quite as good as its predecessor, but it's absolutely still worth a go.

Besides these more difficult levels and the arcade version of Bubble Bobble, there isn’t a lot of staying power in this new entry. You’ll still be delighted by it during the brief time you spend with it, thanks to adorable 3D visuals and sharp music. It’s just a shame that there’s so little to do here, especially after such a long wait for a new entry in the series.

6 / 10.0 - Brief Battles
Mar 20, 2020

Promised free updates may redeem this title down the line with better modes and more carefully crafted arenas, but for now, clunky menus and long load times make an obstacle out of even setting up Brief Battles, and excessive stage hazards, wonky controls, and trite objectives mean that the prize for navigating those menus isn’t worth it.

7 / 10.0 - Coffee Talk

Making sure everyone ended up happy was my primary goal while playing. If all that sounds as heavenly as hot cocoa, give this hidden gem a try.

5 / 10.0 - Speedway Racing
Mar 18, 2020

I've played a good chunk of racing games on the Switch at this point, and Speedway Racing is by far the lowest effort I've seen yet. If it functioned properly and ran smoother, then it would at least be worthy of consideration as a compact title. But in this state, you're better off avoiding it and picking just about any other racer. Sega Ages: Virtua Racing isn't stock car racing like this, but it does have similar arcade-style circuit tracks. It's about the closest thing, and despite being one of the earliest 3D racing games ever, it's a far more enjoyable experience than this poor indie.

As a party-friendly anime fighter, My Hero One's Justice 2 is a clear upgrade.

7 / 10.0 - Half Past Fate
Mar 12, 2020

Ultimately, Half Past Fate is a game about walking and talking for a few hours. Optional Achievement hunting can extend the game's length if you so choose, but this is without a doubt an interactive movie with some gameplay tossed in to glue plot segments together. Your general predilections as a person will ultimately dictate if that's worth the price point. Nonetheless, with its gorgeous art, energetic soundtrack, and breezy narrative, Half Past Fate just exudes positivity from top to bottom. That should count for something.

Overall, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is a solid remake of a unique Pokémon spin-off.

Grab your Switch, pour a drink, and definitely pick up Afterparty.

8 / 10.0 - Vasilis
Mar 6, 2020

Vasilis isn’t going to be the type of game for someone who’s looking for a “fun” experience with engaging gameplay. Instead, it’s the sort of title that uses the artistic potential of video games to provide perspective. It excels in this area thanks to a unique presentation style and is worth the investment for those looking to play something different.

8 / 10.0 - Bloodroots
Feb 27, 2020

Bloodroots' cartoony action kept me engaged through its entire campaign. While it can be more difficult to enjoy handheld due to the likes of Nintendo Switch Lite's smaller screen, the gameplay is utterly unique and justifies a playthrough.

8 / 10.0 - Metro Redux
Feb 25, 2020

Overall, both Metro 2033 Redux and Metro Last Light Redux are great shooters that you should certainly play if you're a fan of the genre. While almost nothing about these titles is game-changing, the content they provide is still worth the price of admission. Most of the few gripes I have become non-issues once you figure out how to work around them, and those that remain aren't too disastrous. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your ticket and come along for the ride!
