With its smart and generally quick play, plenty of heroes to unlock, and a bit of roguelike flair this deckbuilder has a lot going for it
While pure simulation fans who are into trains should be happy, the play is definitely limited in excitement and real variety
With a colorful but still retro look and style, Kraino Origins has some old-school appeal but feels a bit generic overall
For precision platforming on a budget this is an option, though it isn’t without some caveats
While there aren’t nearly enough takes on the futuristic combat racer, Flashout fails to make a strong case for being a go-to option
While absolutely designed with younger or more casual gamers in mind, this light budget platformer has creativity and charm on its side
A puzzle game where it helps to have some creativity mixed with a bit of a sociopathic tendency that enjoys killing your clones
A tight and generally pretty smart take on the dodge-em-up that manages to impress at its pretty humble budget price
There’s something to be said for taking the familiar and doing something different, the problem is when the new way isn’t great
While it has a bit of a Vampire-Survivors-meets-classic-arcade vibe, there’s very little challenge or play in store for you here
A really cool and pretty high-concept idea that can lead to some fun and creative stories, but sometimes you can really get stuck
While pretty well every fishing game on Switch has been pretty bad, at least most were playable. This is not
While not everything clicks and it feels like you need to read a user manual worth of instructions, it makes for a unique experience
While there’s no question this challenging roguelike slasher has style to burn, some performance issues hold it back
Feeling like it was designed to take some inspiration from the challenge of Dark Souls, and the format and look of Fallout, this feels pretty different
Two distinct beat-em-up modes, some wild characters, and a taste for ridiculousness help, but the quality of play is merely average
Especially if you’re unfamiliar with what appears to be the licensed characters, this feels like a thin offering
While it has an art style and general bones that help it to stand out, its gameplay and core combat deflate the experience
While it appears to try to match up to the somewhat crazy physics action of the likes of Clustertruck, its controls get in the way
A great overall look gets this off to a hot start, but a little too much repetition and some early struggles hold it back a bit
