If you were disappointed by Sticker Star and Color Splash, give this new entry a go as it is definitely more enjoyable, but keep in mind the series is clearly heading into a new direction.
Overall, Fairy Tail is a fantastic and faithful representation of its source material, while also being a wholly competent game as well. Its characters are fun, its story is engaging (if not particularly well written), while the flashy and interesting battle system is fun. Repetition in Requests and some performance issues drag down the game, as do its insistence on fan-service elements. In the end though, if you’re a fan of Fairy Tail or just want a new turn-based RPG to play, you’ll get some enjoyment here.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated is a quality remaster. It takes a good game, gives it a fresh coat of paint and allows both old and newcomers alike to see what made it an engaging experience in the first place.
Burnout Paradise Remastered on Switch runs really well, and if the price doesn’t bother you it’s easy to recommend on the system if you have a love for the game.
Overall, Borderlands: Legendary Collection is a Switch port that is both easy to recommend but also to avoid. There’s nothing inherently bad about the package, in fact, you’re going to get hours of enjoyment out of it, but much of it shows its age in a way that will turn some off.
While the effort is admirable, it makes quite a few sacrifices to get it all functional and working on Switch’s hardware
Maneater is an engaging title that will appeal to anyone who aspires to be a murderous shark.
Trials of Mana is a good modernisation of a nearly 25-year-old game, but it’s also one that was obviously held back.
While it contains disappointing pay-to-win microtransactions, the game can be thoroughly enjoyed for 100+ hours if you’re the kind of person that loves to explore and take on tougher enemies.
GRID doesn’t look like a game that will age well.
If you’re a JPRG fan and missed its original release on the Nintendo 3DS, then you will not be disappointed.
This is no Forza Horizon 4, but we’d say it’s a step up from 2017’s Need for Speed Payback.
If you’re a simulation fan, Planet Zoo is definitely worth checking out, whether for its in-depth customisation or just to mess around with the animals and visitors as many of us love doing in these sim games – just make sure you’re prepared for it to crash.
In the end, Pokémon Shield feels like the franchise has taken one step forwards, but two steps back.
While Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy – Deluxe Edition may not entice fans to return for a second play-through, it’s the best version available for anyone who hasn’t played it yet or is simply interested in the franchise.
If you intend to try out all the new content then the asking price of AU$37.50 is worth it, but if you’re strictly only interested in the Cindered Shadows DLC then you may want to rethink the purchase.
If this is able to re-establish the series with its new visual style on the Nintendo Switch, then I’d like where the series can go from here, with a modernised take on the formula.
In the end, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is a game I would recommend to One Piece or Dynasty Warriors stalwarts.
Moving Out has a good variety of levels and arcade games to keep players interested, which is important because of the repetitive nature of the game.
In this strange world we now live in, live sports have become somewhat of a fantasy. MotoGP 20 provides a much needed fantasy craving for live motorsports, and with its extreme difficulty curve it’s not a game many will master in a hurry.
