We both had fun with SNK HEROINES ~Tag Team Frenzy~ and its simplified set up for special moves, and we did also like how the health bar and the special moves bar are directly related, affecting how much energy you have for special moves as you receive more damage. But we both feel that the costumes for the all-female cast and how they're presented is a bit too heavy on the fan service. But if that's something that doesn't bother you and you want to try a fighting game that does a handful of things differently to stand out in its genre, then you can certainly check this one out!
I was definitely looking forward to playing Overcooked! 2 on Nintendo Switch, and I'm happy to report that the game did not disappoint. The fast-paced action, the crazy kitchens that change as you go, the new recipes that have you dashing all over the place for the right ingredients, being able to throw said ingredients to maximize the short windows you have for completing each order, playing at home or on the go, and being able to take things online… it all comes together to give us one of the console's must-have party games.
Other than a couple of chapters where loading times went up close to a minute before the next chapter would begin, I enjoyed my time with 1979 Revolution: Black Friday.
Yuso is a fun minimalist puzzler on Nintendo Switch that will grab your attention from start to finish. Depending on your experience with puzzle games you could be done with the game in 2-4 hours at most, so do keep that in mind before buying this one!
I loved Crossing Souls as it was a gateway back to the movies, cartoons, and games of my childhood. It doesn't stop at Nostalgia though, the game has some fun mechanics and interesting puzzles built into it as well. There are some really satisfying boss levels and some really cool retro game throwback levels.
The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker is an interesting full motion video release on Nintendo Switch with a ton of content to experience. All the actors who portray Doctor Dekker's patients do a fantastic job and help to elevate the game's narrative and the mystery at hand. If you're a fan of the full motion video revival, then you should check out The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker today!
I, Zombie is a fun arcade-style release with some light RTS elements thrown in for goof measure that offers a solid 30 stages from the development team that you should be able to complete in less than an hour at most, with perhaps an extra 20-30 minutes if you need to replay some of the tricky stages as you try to get a better overall time or a three star rating.
Three Fourths Home: Extended Edition is a good game you should check out on Nintendo Switch. The story alone is worth the price of admission, but this being a straight-up visual novel minimalist release might make it so that some of you end up skipping it, which would be a shame since this is a story you have to experience.
Overall, Rally Racers is a fun game that is best played in shorter bursts since playing for long sessions can be a bit tedious for some of you due to how the game makes it so that you can't progress further unless you complete all objectives in each race you take part of. Once you've managed to get to the end there is not much in the way of replay value since there is no local multiplayer that could keep you coming back for more.
Riddled Corpses EX is a fun twin-stick roguelike release that is very challenging, but its gameplay mechanics are very easy to understand, making this one a game that is easy to pick up and get the hang of. The grind for this one is very real, especially if you want to get all trophies for the game, since this one has a full trophy list with a Platinum for you! This one is probably best suited for short bursts of gaming, which is why its great that you can play it on PlayStation Vita.
Aperion Cyberstorm is certainly a fun game on Nintendo Switch that you can enjoy at home or on the go by yourself or with some friends for hectic matches where anything goes. aPriori Digital did a solid job with this game, and I look forward to seeing what the team does next!
Frost is a minimalist deck-building card survival game on Nintendo Switch that I highly recommend that you play on Nintendo Switch. Its gameplay mechanics are easy to understand but hard to master, and I'm sure you're going to love your time with this indie release from Studio Tenebres, Stage Clear Studios and Digerati.
Phobos Vector Prime: The First Ring is a fun arcade-style twin-stick shooter on PS4 that does some things right while falling short in others. It's a good first entry from this Spanish indie team, and I look forward to seeing how they handle the next entry in the series.
VERTICAL STRIKE ENDLESS CHALLENGE is a competent aerial combat game, but the barebones presentation and subpar graphics hurt it. You will have fun chasing a new top score, but you can't chase and fight against other people, and that's disappointing. If you are looking for an air to air and air to land battle game and have that itch scratched, then this may do the trick.
I really liked Ultra Space Battle Brawl. The combination of Pong and a fighting game works really well and makes for a fun arcade-style release. My main criticisms come down to the difficulty level, the lack of extra modes and no online play, but if those things don't bother you, then you'll get to enjoy a fun and fast-paced game that is very entertaining when playing against a friend.
SubaraCity is a colorfully minimalist puzzle game on that is a fun and simple release to enjoy on Nintendo Switch. The gameplay is easy to understand, and trying to beat your high score will keep you coming back to play some more. The game could have benefitted from having an online leaderboard, but this is not a deal-breaker.
I'm not sure if you can tell, but I really liked Guacamelee! 2. It took what made the first game and made it even better. Now that I've finsihed100% of the game I can say that its length was perfect, and I now look forward to doing a new run on Hard to get the final trophy I'm missing to unlock a new Platinum trophy for my collection. Guacamelee! 2, as was the case for its predecessor, is a must-buy release and one of the best games on PS4.
Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Deluxier Edition is a very fun and unique experience that is definitely worth your time and money. The game's premise, gameplay mechanics, retro art style, and humor make this a very fun and excellent addition to the PlayStation 4 library, and after playing this one I'm more than up for playing the sequel!
Muddledash is a fun party game on Nintendo Switch from slampunks and pqube that will keep you busy for a while, as long as you're playing with family or friends. The game is definitely aimed at younger players who, with the help of an adult, can have a good time with this procedurally generated release.
West of Loathing is a game I highly recommend that you get on Nintendo Switch. It has a lot of content to offer, very funny dialogue and item descriptions, solid gameplay mechanics and a minimalist art style that just works. I had a blast playing this game for my review, and I'm sure you're going to love playing it at home or on the go.
