This roguelike twin-stick shooter has its own sense of style, but its somewhat vanilla arcade-like grind detracts from its long-term viability
While there’s no mistaking the classic Rampage base experience, Hemasaurus adds enough extra oomph to be its own game
Though in general it doesn’t break new ground, 16-bit era fans should enjoy this pretty authentic action platformer
Fully committing to a very retro look, this sort of horror adventure at least makes an impression in its somewhat brief runtime
Forgoing the typical adventure tendency towards humor, Silentown instead sprinkles in a sense of foreboding that’s refreshing
While certainly having a novel approach of mixing shooting with volleyball, it can’t keep the ball in the air for long

This strategy / action hybrid has gotten only a mild facelift but its unique and approachable play remains intact
While it does add new content and some new car variety, performance and controls are touchy on Switch
Undoubtedly a very niche offering for younger children, the colorful format and ease of use at least work nicely
You can’t fault this budget game with a timely theme trying to make a splash on the eShop, just don’t expect much
While it’s always cool to see games using music as a means to solve puzzles, this adventure isn’t quite pitch perfect
Keeping things pretty simple in execution, Melatonin delivers on rhythmic fun and challenges
