Oh, the mixed feelings when I saw this title...
Since tower defense games are represented quite well on the Switch at this point, both in terms of quantity and quality, breaking into the space to make a splash can be a challenge...
Storytelling can take place in a wide variety of forms, and the breadth of games with a focus in that are on the Switch has been quite remarkable...
Classic puzzlers of all sorts are on the Switch, but while the style of play in Long Ago is fairly well represented, with you needing to collect all items with an increasing number of complications in a minimal amount of moves, to its credit none has quite this sense of style...

Hidden object games certainly aren't a genre for everyone, and they're relatively common on the Switch, so it can be a bit difficult to really sort through which are better than others...
Since forever I've been a pretty big fan of noir-style stories, whether they be literary, in movies, or in games...
First of all I want to set the baseline, and that's the fact that to date all fishing games I've played on the Switch have been pretty awful...
As turn-based tactical strategy games go on the Switch there's no doubt that while Storm Ground benefits from the Warhammer license it still struggles in a number of areas...
