If you get excited by quite challenging word puzzles, there’s no question this delivers…
Quirky and generally well-implemented, this variation on platforming is far from being all thumbs
Not so much playing out as a video game as a one-use puzzle book, the experience is somewhat playable with friends
While it is a calming and pro-environment experience, there’s already a more full-featured version on the eShop that’s better
Delightfully weird and silly, music fans should absolutely have a blast with this, though there’s no doubt it has challenges
Undoubtedly hoping to re-ignite the passions of old-school fans of NBA Jam, RoboDunk just can’t quite hit the mark
Roughly an attempt to recreate the OG Super Mario Kart experience, it mostly succeeds but fails to impress
While there have been quite a number of solid retro point-and-click adventures on Switch, none have quite had this flavor to them
There’s no doubt that it does some things differently, and there’s merit to that, but Gunbrella just falls short of next-level greatness
Sure it plays as a reasonably approachable platformer, but they’re also pretty well a dime a dozen in the eShop so it’s underwhelming
If you’re looking for an opportunity to apply your deductive reasoning skills in search of connections and answers, this delivers
While its puzzle solutions aren’t typically intuitive, there’s no question its unusual art style and humor carry the experience
Mobile-esque simplicity make this budget title reasonably playable in bursts, but there’s not much depth to be found
A great art style, a hook that has you trying to decipher unknown languages through some trial and error, and puzzles await
A few generations ago it could have made a bit more sense, but it's very retro look and bland play don’t hold up now at all
While, at a glance, the game’s dated look is an issue, the real problems lie in its uninspired tactical combat
While more of an evolution than revolution from its predecessor, some refinements, new weapons, and enemies improve it nicely
Wonderfully pleasant, but also quite predictable, the strength here is in the characters you’ll be working to build relationships with
Building on the foundation of an already-solid predecessor, Blasphemous 2 soars to new heights of brutality
While it has a budget-friendly method of allowing for co-op play with only 1 copy of the game the experience isn’t always great
