Zarvot is a fun, colorful and charming game that I loved to review on the Nintendo Switch. This is an indie release you don't want to miss and that feels right at home on Nintendo's hybrid console. Let us know how much you liked the game in the comments below!
Eternum EX is a fun and short arcade-style 2D platformer that pays homage to old-school releases while doing its own thing. If you're good at games of this genre, then you're looking at around an hour or so for completing the game in either one of its modes. Levels are short and to the point, which is not a bad thing when you're looking for that type of experience. Are you up for the challenge?
If you're a fan of Sudoku puzzles, or if you're looking into unlocking some easy and quirky Platinum trophies, then Word Sudoku by POWGI is a must-buy.
In the end, this game gave me some scary moments, but it did left me wanting a bit more out of the experience. I would've liked a bit less predictability in the whole game's gameplay cycle, and my inverted y-axis access. But if you're looking for a spooky Halloween game on PS4, then this one is going to scratch that itch. The game is available digitally on PSN, and there's also a physical copy available exclusive at Gamestop.
You're looking at 30-40 minutes of gameplay for this one, but you'll be enjoying every single one.
Car Quest was certainly something on Nintendo Switch that I was not expecting.
You're definitely getting more than enough fun from your investment.
Super Burger Time does the series justice by greatly improving on the look and feel of the original. As Peter Pepper Jr. you have more mobility, more tools at your disposal to defeat your enemies, a considerable bump in the graphics department, and more than enough content to keep you busy for 20-30 minutes, which is on par with the amount of content arcade games offered back in the day.
If you're looking for a challenging and dark top-down roguelike on Nintendo Switch, then Soulblight is going to cover those needs. It's an addictive experience that will keep you coming back for more even when the game chews you and spits you back over and over again. The Tainting Mechanic is certainly something different that sets this one apart from other roguelikes, and it's something I'm sure you'll get to enjoy.
I didn't like the game at first since it didn't look that great and the gameplay loop didn't grab me at first, but the more I played, the more the concept grew on me. I ended up having fun completing the main quests while the side-quests were taken care of, well, on the side. Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story is a budget release that mixes a hero school sim with a lite action-RPG, and it is thusly offered at a budget price of $15, so if you're looking for a different type experience, this one is certainly going to fit the bill.
Halloween Forever is a fun and short 2D platformer with extra replay value for those who like to 100% games. There are five levels to complete, each with a handful of sections, and you can probably speedrun the game in 15-20 minutes once you know where everything is, but getting to know the game that way is part of the fun. There is a full trophy list waiting for trophy hunters, and an entertaining action platformer to play over and over again to get there.
Gate of Doom is a fun button masher on Nintendo Switch that you'll certainly enjoy. As is to be expected of an arcade game from over 25 years ago, you're looking at playing for around 40-60 minutes or to be able to beat this mystical adventure. And since the game is a button-mashing fun adventure, once you've beaten it you can do it all over again with a different character, or even invite a friend to join you for some local co-op as you both take on the many monsters and bosses in your path.
Although the WWII setup is one that's been played out in a lot of games, The Memory of Us didn't feel like just a rehash of some other game. It's a simple puzzler that'll give you some fun for an afternoon or two, just not with the same depth story-wise that a game like Valiant Hearts had.
Anodyne is a great throwback to the adventure games we used to play back in the day on our Game Boy, and I liked the way we could explore as we played, and that the game doesn't take itself too seriously. I definitively recommend this game to players looking for adventure games on PlayStation 4!
Find The Balance is a fun physics-based puzzle games on Nintendo Switch that you can enjoy on your own or with a soon to be ex-friend. There are plenty of puzzles to complete in the two single player modes, and with the auto-fall and endless modes the fun is certainly endless.
Overall, if you like platformers, pixeltastic indie releases and/or cute games, then MagicCat is definitely the game for you! While it's not a game that requires a lot of experience with the genre, it still has its moments where it shines thanks to some clever gameplay and solid platforming sections that will keep you hooked until the end.
Shoot Out is a short diversion you can squeeze in between other games. It's one I didn't get a chance to play back in the day, and which is valuable to have on Nintendo Switch as a history lesson on how arcade games used to be way back in 1985. Other than that this one won't hold your interest for long once you've beaten it since you'll have seen everything it has to offer, and it's not exactly an arcade classic. But if you're in the mood for a short arcade experience, then this one will certainly scratch that itch. The game has not aged gracefully, but it's still a valuable part of Data East's history.
Sigi: A Fart for Melusina is a short but charming game on Nintendo Switch that you're going to get a kick out of playing. The game's pixel art style and its music will send you back to an old-school era, with the refinements you'd expect from a 21st-century game. While you can play the game docked on the big screen, I think it plays and feels better when enjoyed in handheld mode, and since it's only 20 levels long, it's the perfect game for you to play on the go. I have no real complaints about the game other than I wish there were more levels to play, so hopefully the team works on a sequel!
Reigns: Kings and Queens certainly is a unique type of game on Nintendo Switch. Its minimalist art style looks great on the TV and on the console's screen when in portable or tabletop mode. The humor is also fun and charming, and it will make you chuckle every now and then. If you're looking for something different, then be sure to check out this one on Nintendo Switch since it includes Reigns and Reigns: Her Majesty in a single package.
The Midnight Sanctuary is most definitely not for everyone, but if you would like to try something different in the visual novel genre with a dash of horror and Japanese culture thrown in for good measure, then this is certainly a good pick. With a handful of hours of gameplay in total, it is certainly worth the price – not to mention you can go back and re-watch your favorite scenes with the log feature!
