7.2 / 10.0 - inbento

7.1 / 10.0 - Half Past Fate
Mar 12, 2020

Titles with a focus on story-telling first have become quite popular in recent years and the Switch has amassed quite a library of differently-styled adventures to explore in that vein...

6.7 / 10.0 - Mystic Vale
Mar 12, 2020

Deck-building games are always a bit tough to judge since on the one hand you don't want them to all be variations on the same theme but on the other if they veer a bit too far off in their own direction they can be tough to learn and fully appreciate...

8.5 / 10.0 - Wunderling
Mar 5, 2020

Who ever said that puzzle games had to be for casual gamers? Oh sure, Wunderling could likely be enjoyed by just about anyone with its relatively simple one-button mechanic where you’re only able to control your character jumping… but to simply complete each level would be setting aside my favorite aspect of the game...

7.9 / 10.0 - ibb & obb
Mar 5, 2020

Local co-op games are obviously pretty well-represented on the Switch, and they range from light and silly to pretty involved at times...

6.3 / 10.0 - Avocuddle
Mar 2, 2020

Who knew that avocados could be so cute and somehow anthropomorphizeable? Playing the part of one half of a pair of avocados in love, you're risking being reduced to guacamole in the name of being reunited with you beau who has been kidnapped by aliens...

Set in a post-Apocalyptic Russia, primarily taking place in the labyrinth of subway tunnels and other areas below the surface, Metro 2033 Redux is an atmospheric and pretty gritty first-person experience...

8.5 / 10.0 - Bloodroots
Feb 28, 2020

This is a title that got me excited the first time I saw it in a Nindie Direct and that I was even more thrilled with when I got to play it some last year at PAX...

Released at the same time as Metro 2033 Redux, the original chapter of the series (you can get them together on the Metro Redux physical cart at retail), Last Light picks up where the original left off...
