If you have the connection to support this “cloud play” game, it offers intense and compelling squad-based shooting
With a mix of action and some strategy (perhaps with a twinge of puzzles) NachoCado is unique, but not terribly satisfying
While not a bad challenging budget platformer, the control scheme and feel unfortunately leave something to be desired
With a design somewhere between Breakout and Bust-A-Move, Gematombe has its own vibe, but feels bare bones overall
Sometimes there are games that precisely match their name, and this is one of them
Aside from some odd (and not always fun) distractions, this has an engaging (though pretty brief) story to take in
While no new enhancements have been made to this flagship puzzle series, it remains as the king of its subgenre hill
If you’re up to the strategic challenge, Ash of Gods tells a compelling story and will push you to improve your tactical skills
While it absolutely has some visual appeal, the familiarity and general lack of spark in play makes it underwhelming
A unique and more poker-like take on battles helps to differentiate this deckbuilder, but it isn’t without issues
This anthology of adventure-esque stories is varied, and perhaps creepy, but not necessarily satisfying
Having its own hectic style, Magical Drop VI’s various modes and challenges can melt away some time for action puzzler fans
With its classic look, structure, and support for 3-player co-op ala the classic Secret of Mana, Trinity Trigger has appeal for the right crowd
A mix of there being a lack of overall variety and a constant need to recalibrate the JoyCon aiming detracts from the fun
Considering the low-budget pricing for this simple stealth title, keep your expectations in check
If you’re really into working in an animal shelter it could be fine, but repeating generally menial tasks may not be much “fun”
This adventure is absolutely an offbeat and odd trip, though perhaps a bit too much so for a broad audience
While not necessarily difficult overall, this hacking cyber-puzzler has its own way of doing things
A charming mix of story beats and generally smart puzzles help to make this easy to appreciate… once you get going
Starting with what I’d consider a bit of a creepy title, this adventure is certainly different, though probably an acquired taste
