With its unique underwater style and combat, this Metroidvania-esque adventure has its own feel
Unsurprisingly, the combination of Dead Cells and Castlevania proves to be nostalgic and truly fantastic in this paid DLC Package
An odd pairing of a solid old-school Cabal-style arcade shooter and a mess of an attempt at a more grand adventure
Until Vampire Survivors arrives on the Switch, fans of that style of play will handily get their essential fix with this
Undoubtedly novel, and likely fun for a party atmosphere, calibration challenges and quirkiness limit its long-term appeal
While it puts up a reasonably good but approachable puzzle platforming challenge the sluggish pacing is a bit odd
While it is a visual and aural feast, dripping with style, mechanically as a game it unfortunately struggles
A mix of adventure and RPG-ish elements, combined with a story that tugs at the heart strings, makes for a decent handful of hours
Combining together an upbeat tone, some fun characters, and a mix of puzzles and crafting this keeps things light and fun
Mixing together multiple genre feels results in a less traditional take on a point-and-click adventure
If you don’t mind the sometimes glacial pacing of the adventure aspects, the art and story here are top-tier within the space
Landing somewhere between Reigns: Kings and Queens and a Choose Your Own Adventure, this has narrative merit
While quality of life tweaks have been made to the formula, this follow-up feels a bit too much like more of the same where it counts
A more retro-than-typical style of interface, cheeky humor, and great voice acting helps to lift this adventure up
Depending on what you’re looking for in your cooking sim this will either sizzle or get sent back
An unfortunate pairing of classic 3D action and less-then-reliable controls dooms this all-ages platformer
Mixing together Metroidvania sensibilities with some challenging platforming makes for a refreshing budget package
Yet again making the absolute most of 8-bit capabilities, and not compromising engaging play, Roniu’s Tale is a great mix of strategy and puzzles
While it manages to so a solid job of bringing the classic arcade play of Qix with a family-friendly look, it does little else
While it has the looks of a retro racing contemporary, the controls and a lack of a feeling of purpose hold it back
