6.4 / 10.0 - Guts 'N Goals
Aug 31, 2021

When I first saw this title and a hint of the gameplay I was excited by the potential promise of a return of some good old combat sports...

6.4 / 10.0 - Stranded Deep
Aug 31, 2021

I've pretty much always had a love/hate relationship with the survival genre, though it may not be what you think...

5.7 / 10.0 - Rustler
Aug 31, 2021

Billing itself as a medieval Grand Theft Auto (this is GTA2, mind you, don't get too excited), Rustler is obviously trying to grab itself some attention, but that unfortunately also puts some expectations on it to try to meet...

7.6 / 10.0 - Orbibot
Aug 27, 2021

As an old school arcade fan I'll just plain admit I'm a sucker for any game that remotely resembles the classic Marble Madness...

7.5 / 10.0 - Exo One
Aug 27, 2021

I’ve tended to be pretty clear in my distaste for pure visual novels and their lack of interactivity, and when I started this title I had some concerns it was headed in that direction with quite a bit of (often clever) dialogue to get it rolling...

9 / 10.0 - Spelunky 2
Aug 26, 2021

It’s always a bit tricky to release both an original game and its sequel at the same time, but in the case of Spelunky 2 and its OG brutally-tough roguelike predecessor it works out reasonably well and either (or, even better, both) are worthy of a shot if you’re down for a challenge...

8.5 / 10.0 - Spelunky
Aug 26, 2021

One of the last OG indie titles to finally come to Switch, Spelunky promptly gave me a nice slap in the face to remind me of just how quickly I could utterly fail in a game...

The thing that will obviously grab you with this title is its unique (and quite lovely) art style...

7.5 / 10.0 - Townscaper
Aug 26, 2021

Not so much a game as an interactive toy, Townscaper is just a different sort of experience that people will likely either adore or hate...

Aug 26, 2021

This is one of those titles that's very difficult to explain in a way that establishes a decent value proposition for purchasing it but here goes: Only lasting a couple of hours, the "action" is you methodically using a metal detector on the ground of an old farm in search of something...

6.5 / 10.0 - Super Animal Royale
Aug 26, 2021

Whenever you run into a free-to-play title it's always a bit of a challenge to rake them over the coals when people could literally try them out and make their own decision for free...

6.4 / 10.0 - Garden Paws
Aug 26, 2021

While I don't want to show any undue bias against games unfairly, I'll admit that I've slowly become skeptical of games that seem to lean on the "cute factor" as a primary selling point...

6.4 / 10.0 - Have a Blast
Aug 26, 2021

While I'd like to be able to claim myself and my family are not victims of local multiplayer fatigue on Switch, it's tough to deny it's a thing...

5.3 / 10.0 - Wildbus
Aug 26, 2021

Sometimes there are just games that start out hitting you the wrong way the moment you begin playing and just can't seem to recover...

4.6 / 10.0 - Secret Neighbor
Aug 26, 2021

The creepy Neighbor is apparently back, yet again, to give off his weird vibes and entice people to plunk down some money to join in his latest endeavor... in this case an asymmetric multiplayer experience with a group of kids trying to best him...

Who doesn't love a good mystery? Arrive at the crime scene, look for clues and evidence, interrogate witnesses, and then use your powers of deduction in order to solve the crime...

8.3 / 10.0 - Hoa

Ah, the struggle to properly evaluate games that aren't really made for you personally as the target audience...

6.4 / 10.0 - King's Bounty II
Aug 24, 2021

This is one of those titles that, when you see a well-cut trailer for it, jumps out as having some real potential...

This aquatically-based platformer, which you can play either solo or co-op, is a bit of an odd bird...

8 / 10.0 - Space Scavenger
Aug 20, 2021

There’s absolutely no denying that fans of twin-stick roguelike shooters, like myself, have an embarrassment of riches on the system...
