A mix of lush and gorgeous visuals, some unique puzzle elements, and a pretty well-voiced story of love
A unique overall style, ranging from music to visuals, helps to elevate this action-adventure
While it may have a pretty basic black and white core look, there’s some compelling classic arcade shooter action to be had here
If you’re into dogs and feel-good vibes, even if there’s not a load of compelling gameplay to match it, this is a soothing and touching adventure
With an absolutely unique mix of traditional arcade shooting and quasi-3D elements, Exchatos is a breath of fresh air in a crowded field
If you’re down for a visual novel where you’re going to just be along the ride, involving a girl who lives in a town of ghosts, it delivers that
Not feeling quite like anything else out there, Monster Menu’s mix of action and RPG elements is novel, but lack thrills
If you can accept that your control over your party is very limited as they battle through dungeons, you may enjoy this
Delivers plenty of variety for solo or group play around its classic core play, and throws in an unexpected mash-up for good measure
If you’re looking for a pretty crazy and bloody good time, and don’t mind the retro FPS look and feel, this delivers
While people familiar with this old-school PC Engine title may like the nostalgic angle, the “classic” style of play is tough to enjoy
While there seems to be a foundation for a decent roguelike deckbuilder/tactical strategy game here, in execution it comes up short
Once again, old-school retro gaming fans, the Switch is continuing its fortunate streak of titles tapping into that authentic feel… in a good way
While it presses some retro-styled RPG buttons nicely, its lack of a modern hook or bit of flair makes it fall flat
While it does pretty successfully bolt together gameplay elements of Dig-Dug and Bomberman, the end experience comes up a bit short
Undoubtedly featuring a terrific sense of visual style and some great music, this non-traditional adventure trips itself up with problems
Making some interesting use of FMV segments, and promising to play out a bit differently each time, Muses has promise but requires patience
While the bones of a decent city builder appear to be present, the lack of a formal tutorial or even decent guidance make it aggravating
With a continuous attempt to further monetize itself, minimal gameplay, and an often mean-spirited tone, skip this dessert
Part visual novel, part Pokemon Snap-ish, part old-school jokey adventure-ish (further in), this collection of ideas never gels
