Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams is a fun, colorful and challenging action platformer that has now found its way to the Nintendo Switch. This being the Owltimate Edition means that it's the most packed version of the game with 40 levels in total and plenty of collectibles to find in each one. Go give it a try!
As fun as the sandbox mode is, the single-player side of the game is a bit boring. If there was an extra mode or more maps to play in, there would be some much-needed variety, but at least the multiplayer mode against other humans does increase the replay value. So if you're a creative individual and like the look and feel of this voxel game, then its $4.99 price can make it worth it to you.
I was not a particular fan of pinball tables, but after getting the chance to review many of them over the years, I have to say that Zen Studios has won me over. Pinball FX3, their latest pinball platform, shows how much the team has improved their craft over the dozens of tables they've released. Are you ready to take on the challenge that the Jurassic Park Pinball table pack has to offer?
As is the case for the other four pinball tables from EnjoyUp Games, Halloween Pinball features an online leaderboard so that you can compare your scores with other players around the world, but getting a top spot is going to take a lot patience and playing the game for hours so that you can get into the groove and find out how to maximize your score! The company has been improving their pinball offerings with each new table they release, so I look forward to seeing what they do next!
PAW Patrol: On a Roll! is a fun, charming and easy to play action platforming game on Nintendo Switch you should check out. Most of the game will be played from a 2D side view as you run and jump through each area, but some stages will mix things up by introducing a maze to complete from an overhead perspective, or present a flying section to change how you approach a challenge. If you're a fan of the show or have kids who are, then this is a great option!
If you are a fan of retro vertical shooters then Fast Striker from eastasiasoft is definitely a good option, especially since it's a cross-buy release, so you'll be getting both the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation Vita versions with one purchase.

Wailing Heights is a charming and funny adventure game on PlayStation 4 that you're certainly going to dig.

The Spectrum Retreat is a clever and fun puzzle game with a good story that will keep you engaged for around 5-6 hours depending on how good you are with puzzles.
One Strike is a different type of fighter with a clever gameplay hook, a solid pixeltastic art style and a great soundtrack that, when brought together, make it easy for me to recommend this quite unique release. Be sure to check it out on Nintendo Switch!
All and all, Johnny Turbo's Arcade: Night Slashers is a very enjoyable experience, even if it can beat it in 30-40 minutes at most. This doesn't mean you will be done since you can go for another run to get the other two endings for completing the game with the remaining characters, plus a beat ‘em up is always a great option to break out when you have friends over for some fun and relaxing gaming.
Express Raider is an interesting arcade game from another era that is a bit of fun when played in short burst due to its endless nature. Sure, every time you complete a cycle by playing both modes the difficulty will increase, but I don't think most gamers nowadays would appreciate this arcade-style experience, even if you can play it at home or on the go on the Nintendo Switch. Let me know if you've played the game and what you think of it!
If you're looking for a fun and minimalist strategy game to play at home or on the go, in which every time you die you at least make some progress and push the game forward, then you should check out Reigns: Kings and Queens. Gameplay mechanics are very easy to understand, the art style is charming, and the weird scenarios you'll need to solve will keep you coming back for more.
Subaeria is a different type of action puzzle platformer with some roguelike elements. You'll end up dying a lot, but you'll make some progress with every run as you unlock new apps, boosts, and perks to change how you approach your next run. Once you get into the groove, your runs will flow without issue.
Marble It Up! is a fun rolling platformer on Nintendo Switch that is easy to get the hang off and very addictive.

If you're looking for a relaxed 3D action platformer, then Flynn and Freckles might be what you need to scratch that itch.
It’s been a while since I played a game with a story that was so captivating, and it has a nice mix of RPG elements, investigation, and stealth to change the pace during your playthrough. Add to that the multiple endings that will warrant extra playthroughs, and you got yourself a great game with some nice replay value. Definitely one to play if you’re a fan of adventure games
All in all, if you are a fan of the “choose your own adventure” genre, tabletops, and the RPG and/or fantasy genres, then this is definitely a title you don't want to pass on. And if you're a fan of the book the game is based on, then you definitely have to pick this one up on Nintendo Switch!
It's not a long game, as you would expect from a classic arcade game from the 1980s, and it is minimalist in its design and gameplay mechanics. But if you're into playing games from ages past and experiencing a slice of the arcade life, then you should check this one out.
