Overly simplistic play and a general lack of much personality make this “sports” title a bit of an eShop benchwarmer
Focused almost entirely on what you hear, allowing you to even play it with your eyes closed, Project Dark is a unique experience
While there’s certainly a strategic component of sorts, and some skill required for success, the repetition of the experience sets in pretty quickly
This budget action title keeps things simple in terms of controls, but still delivers an engaging and fun challenge
This unique take on crime solving has you moving forward and back through the scene of the crime, relying on only audio as your guide
Twitchy challenge hounds will appreciate the tough, no-nonsense, and quick runs, hardly needing to take a breath before starting again
Somehow feeling like a mix of concepts and play from the likes of Overcooked and Party Hard, Godlike Burger has a unique and morbid flair
There are absolutely no sims on Switch quite like this one, the problem is with the clunky controls and underwhelming help getting started
If you love light gaming with loose objectives and pups, this will have some appeal, but against some peers it’s lacking
With a mix of classic cinematic platforming and adventure Babel does it’s own thing, but it isn’t all positives
With its quirky sense of humor, eclectic style, and overall oddity, this weirdly reminds me of an 8-bit era adventure
With its combat forcing you to move between a twin-stick shooting style and slashing, Batora manages to keep itself interesting and varied
While there are obvious similarities with Pokemon Snap, Alekon distinguishes itself with more freedom and plenty of odd mini games
Between it only being with the touchscreen and a pretty ridiculous asking price this doesn’t make much sense as a buy
Though undoubtedly novel in its implementation and the variety of mini arcade games it sports, inconsistencies and quirks hold it back
While it may look and somewhat feel more in line with farm life sims, there’s a hard edge to the combat that feels out of place overall
An interesting visual style helps to compensate, at least to some degree, for play that’s not bad but perhaps a bit too familiar
While it may have a terrific visual style and appealing characters, the crippling difficulty takes the steam out of the experience quickly
The concept of using this tile puzzler as an opportunity for people to learn Japanese characters is an interesting one, play is still quite plain
In what amounts to a more actively-controlled version of something like Lemmings is novel, but ultimately bland
