GameSpot's Reviews
Evil Genius 2 makes good on its spy-movie supervillain concept with a challenging management sim that requires cunning and patience.
Loop Hero combines familiar mechanics in unfamiliar ways, producing an exhilarating and tactical roguelite that you'll struggle to put down.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2 was a capable game on PS4 and Xbox One, running at variable resolutions while keeping that locked 60fps experience intact. It was hard for me to visualize what exactly developer Vicarious Visions could do aside from bumping up the resolution on the new generation of consoles, but after playing both the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions, it's clear the remake has some improvements that, while not drastic changes to the already incredible game, are undeniably impactful.
Immortals Fenyx Rising's second DLC takes the game to an entirely new world, but it still doesn't stray too far from its old one.
It Takes Two is a fantastically creative co-op game that nails every new concept it introduces.
Monster Hunter Rise's renewed focus on fully-fledged action represents the series at the peak of its powers.
Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods Part 2 is a notable step up from the game's previous DLC.
Fights in Tight Spaces combines deck-building with clever tactics in a roguelike format that is as satisfying as it is punishing.
Mundaun is a great horror adventure game in a gorgeous hand-drawn world.
Gnosia mixes social deduction gameplay with great characters and a visual novel presentation for a memorable experience.
Apex Legends continues to be a superb battle royale game, but you do not want to play it on Switch unless that's your only option.
Developer Cold Symmetry's budget action-RPG is a love letter to From Software's work, but Mortal Shell's take on similar ideas feels aimed at those who struggle to get through Soulsborne games.
Bravely Default 2 brings the throwback RPG series to Nintendo Switch, but the loss of modern quality-of-life features make this a decidedly grindy experience.
Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection is an honest, faithful homage to a series known for being so difficult, it's nearly unplayable.
Blue Fire's exceptional platforming isn't enough to distract from frustrating backtracking and lackluster combat.
Little Nightmares II is a delightful follow-up to developer Tarsier's 2017 horror platformer, but it's sometimes weighed down by gameplay frustrations and inaccessibility.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury packages one of the best recent Mario games with a delightfully odd new experience.
Destruction AllStars has solid driving, but its demolition derby-style car combat drags as much as it thrills.
Persona 5's RPG elements thrive in action-based combat, and while the story may not hit hard, the Phantom Thieves haven't forgotten what they're about.
Nuts is a short hike through mostly uninspiring terrain.
