While pretty well every fishing game on Switch has been pretty bad, at least most were playable. This is not
While not everything clicks and it feels like you need to read a user manual worth of instructions, it makes for a unique experience
While there’s no question this challenging roguelike slasher has style to burn, some performance issues hold it back
Feeling like it was designed to take some inspiration from the challenge of Dark Souls, and the format and look of Fallout, this feels pretty different
Two distinct beat-em-up modes, some wild characters, and a taste for ridiculousness help, but the quality of play is merely average
Especially if you’re unfamiliar with what appears to be the licensed characters, this feels like a thin offering
While it has an art style and general bones that help it to stand out, its gameplay and core combat deflate the experience
While it appears to try to match up to the somewhat crazy physics action of the likes of Clustertruck, its controls get in the way
A great overall look gets this off to a hot start, but a little too much repetition and some early struggles hold it back a bit
While absolutely a unique sort of 3D space mech-suit-anime-girl fighter with plenty of flair, overall depth is a bit of an issue
Undeniably novel and entertaining with its decision to run with the vintage 50s black and white sci-fi look, but just a decent arcade shooter overall
Fun, funky, and more challenging than it can look, this fresh take on a puzzle game simply does its own thing
While there’s no doubt it has artistic flair and delivers some creepy feels, the lack of much “gameplay” makes it a tough-ish sell
Gorgeous aesthetically, this pretty unique environmental puzzler has some appeal, but its rules can be hard to get the hang of
A mobile-esque play structure and controls that don’t quite work ideally in any form sink this farm sim
Another gorgeous and generally rock-solid JRPG experience, though not terribly different from its predecessor
Working through trauma both past and present, this is an emotional journey with unexpected twists and turns
An odd mix of a lot of exploring, taking photos, and trying to solve a variety of pretty unusual mysteries in a rural town
Taking the base Picross formula and adding in some extra rules and complications works out quite well here, indeed
With kart racers on Nintendo systems there are those that can’t quite match up to Mario Kart and those that don’t deserve to be on the track
