Resident Evil Village is a terrific horror game that balances some impressively frightening scenarios with intense action.
New Pokémon Snap is one of the best Pokémon spin-offs, and one of the best games on the Switch.
NieR Replicant is a brilliant game despite its tedious sidequests.
Give this one a try, it’s a one time purchase and I think you will get your money’s worth, especially if you enjoy shooting and looting.
Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is ripe to be picked and placed in your library.
There’s a simplicity to Maskmaker, but a simplicity that works for a fun 2-3 hour romp.
A lacking homage to decidedly better content.
Oddworld: Soulstorm is a very unique game. It can be stressful and fun at the same time, and it features one of the weirdest and most intriguing game worlds of recent memory.
There’s a good core but the rest of the game is the Diet Coke of Evil: Just one calorie, not evil enough.
Stubbs is emblematic of the end-of-lifecycle game in that it is extremely weird, kind of janky, and beloved by those who happened to pick it up in the game store, which was something we had way back then, because console games hadn’t invented online purchases yet.
If you’re a diehard fan of 3D platformers and you’ve run out of better games to play in the genre, you might get some enjoyment out of Balan Wonderworld, but only if you’re willing to put up with a lot of tedium along the way.
Monster Hunter Rise is an excellent Monster Hunter game that anyone can fully appreciate.
Lost Words: Beyond the Page is a simple game with creative ideas and an emotional story.

There are some small technical issues, but overall, Pioneers of Olive Town is a great game for newcomers and Harvest Moon fans alike.
Not bested by its predecessor, Bravely Default 2 offers a fairly inoffensive experience with some interesting gameplay tweaks and a very enjoyable job system.
Loop Hero is an addictive and complex game that changes what it means to be on the grind. A few ambiguities hinder the experience, but that doesn’t stop it from being an overall innovative and fantastic game.
If you like your horror games to have a strong focus on exploration and a satisfying story to tell, you should come away from the surreal world of Mundaun feeling well-pleased with the experience.
Blending survival horror gameplay with overt sexual themes and a cosmic horror story, Lust From Beyond isn’t a game for everyone and it knows that. It’s targeting a fairly specific audience, but if you fall into that audience, you’ll find a satisfying, compelling, and often macabre experience.
It’s touching, and the puzzle side keeps you engaged while your heartstrings are being tugged.
