There’s a very approachable quality to the boxing controls here, but in practice they’re at the expense of precision and feel inconsistent at best
A brilliant mixture of puzzles and turn-based strategy make this a standout title fans of both genres should give a look
Decidedly old-school in look and execution, it’s the dark and sometimes disturbing nature of the journey that holds appeal
Aside from featuring the fantastic city of Baltimore and a wonderful rotoscoped style, there’s an intriguing story to enjoy here
A budget-minded take on Vampire Survivors, it has issues as things get crowded, but it’s an alternative if you don’t mind some flaws
While it’s an interesting take on real-time strategy, poor controls and difficulties keeping track of what’s happening frustrate
Mixing together a smattering of early shooter elements with some modern feel, Shootvaders lacks an identity of its own
If you’re looking to be creeped out and outright shocked, this will deliver, but it comes with a very fair and accurate warning
The lack of bigger picture strategy games on Switch opens the door to this being worthwhile, but clunky controls and little direction bring it down
No doubt inspired a bit by the likes of the Overcooked series, Manic Mechanics changes some elements up to reasonably stand on its own
While there’s a certain old-school Pitfall-esque vibe to it, the floaty controls and lackluster play disappoint
While it has a novel conceit and decent enough mechanics, on the whole Noob feels a bit generic
While it has an unconventional means of supporting co-op play (you need to play with a copy on 2 different devices), it delivers nicely
There’s really no way to say it aside from this train sim is absolutely not ready for prime time on Switch…
While the visuals and flashy style of the series have continued to evolve nicely, the story will probably be inaccessible for the uninitiated
A little bit of unique flavor is always appreciated in the puzzle/strategy space, but the lack of clearly-defined rules holds City Limits back
While not perfect by any means, this budget mix of platforming and shooting works better than expected
While it has a great retro look and sound, the slippery surfaces and ineffective attack make this for people seeking punishment only
Aiming to provide an authentic retro 8-bit experience, Full Quiet gets many aspects right, but it’s over-complicated controls frustrate
There’s no doubt that this version of the digital pinball series performs more smoothly than its predecessor, but it paid a clear visual price
