2019's Samurai Shodown is finally available for the Switch, bringing one of the foundational Japanese fighting games to a brand-new audience.
Corruption 2029 is a competent tactical game that leaves you wishing it had spent just a little more time in development.
Bloodroots is a high-speed slash-and-bash extravaganza that always makes you want to beat "just one more level."
Rune Factory 4 is an abundant RPG, full of fun characters, things to do, and a compelling network of interlocking systems.
On one hand, Dreams is a bottomless bag filled with toys, vignettes, and indie games. On the other, Dreams is a must-own for anyone who's ever been curious about game design.
Broken Lines, a squad-based tactical strategy game has some interesting elements but lacks the polish to stand out.
Snack World works as a tasty, but not entirely satisfying, appetizer, with too much filler and some strange balancing choices.
There may never have been so promising a game so completely destroyed by launch bugs as Wolcen.
The combat is the best Fire Emblem combat in years, and you get some very good carryovers into the main game that make it worth going back yet again to re-shape the world.
Classic components come together to form a stellar slashing platformer, with the titular kunai providing a particularly high note.
For 4 player co-op fans, it doesn't get much better than Zombie Army 4.
Even though DBZ: Kakarot retells the same story the franchise has been telling for decades, it manages to do so in creative new ways for hardcore anime fans.
Kingdom Hearts 3: Re:Mind rewards its most loyal players with an unrelenting new endgame, new modes, and a more filled-in story.
Death Stranding is an interesting look at what makes a game a game, and not much else.
Skellboy is an action-RPG that succeeds at first blush, but it fails to pull you in for the long run.
Bookbound Brigade is a Metroidvania that simply misses the point. It builds on all of the worst aspects of the genre while enjoying none of its strengths.
TMS #FE Encore is a solid enough RPG that doesn't play to its strengths and ultimately falls short of greatness.
Journey to the Savage Planet is a satirical and colorful metroidvania that survives its corny jokes thanks to fun traversal and worthwhile exploration.
Areia: Pathway to Dawn hits on an interesting approach to puzzles, but is ultimately dragged down by loose controls and a story that fails to captivate.
Atelier Escha & Logy DX refines the formula Ayesha laid out and other new features that make it not just the best in the Dusk trilogy, but one of the best Atelier games in general.
