Astoundingly varied and deep, dripping with funky charm, and both challenging and approachable. It’s fantastic
It’s always nice to see diverse options like this one that are educational in nature, in this case helping early math learners
Though it’s hard to ignore that this has a very mobile-esque feel to it, its style of strategy is pretty unique on the platform
This is a case of a cute and very pleasant game, which is a nice change of pace, sadly lacking quality in overall execution
While learning a different language by playing a game is a novel idea, in practice the scope is limited and the gameplay is lacking
There’s no doubt it offers up a slightly different and value-added tower defense experience, but not so much solo
There’s a cool sense of style to this slashing sort of roguelike beat-em-up, but it still feels a bit generic in the end
While at a glance it appears to channel the likes of the arcade classic Cabal, it’s sadly not even in the ballpark
There’s no question that this mech-based RPG has some cool elements, but its glacial pacing grates on nerves heavily
Taking one of the world’s most renowned detectives through one of his most iconic cases is a good time for mystery fans
The casual mix of puzzles styles and some mystery subgenre is nice, for sure, but even within that space this falters
With an unusual art style and stable of characters you’ll embark on a very story-driven journey with plenty of choices to be made
Much like the original, Road to Fame is both a mix of family-friendly multiplayer games and a solo adventure
While its pacing trends towards slow and tasks to complete between runs are a bit tedious, there’s some fun variety here
The OG reality show has come to Switch, but while there’s some novelty the gameplay is pretty weak overall
While it attempts to create a slightly more interesting visual novel experience with some choice and oddity, it struggles
The latest in the wave of throwback NES-styled titles, Project Blue brings a very retro challenge to the table
While it has a quasi-horror vibe to its story, the pretty generic adventure-y look and feel of play fail to make it stand out much
Mashing together elements of Snake (of all things), a dodge-em-up, and a bit of shooting, arcade fans should enjoy it
While certainly quite text heavy, this sea-faring survival adventure sports strong character development and moral quandaries aplenty
