PowerUp!'s Reviews

With a tonne of puzzles included in the campaign, daily puzzles available to download, secrets to find and a story to unravel, Katrielle And The Millionaire’s Conspiracy is a great Switch game and a worthy addition to the Layton franchise

Overall, Pokémon Sword and Shield is stunningly good. It might not make everyone or every fan happy but I enjoyed every minute I spent with it. For a series that’s 23 years deep with very little innovation, Pokémon Sword and Shield feels like a good first step towards finally shaking up what a Pokémon game can be.

It's not that Brain Training Switch is a bad game it's just that it's not as relevant or interesting as it was over a decade ago. It's worth checking out if you want to test your Brain Age or as a gift for Grandman but there are plenty of better games you could be playing.

6.7 / 10.0 - Shenmue III
Jan 14, 2020

Fans of the series are going to find everything they love here – a game that refuses to be anything else apart from itself, even if that is rooted in the past.

6.6 / 10.0 - Indivisible
Jan 14, 2020

It’s not a definite must play, but there’s something about Indivisible that can’t be ignored. If you’re looking for something a bit different, with lots of charm and character, then look no further.

There are pockets of joy and engagement in Fallen Order, but ultimately it feels like a game developed a long time ago, before Star Wars moved on to brighter galaxies far, far away from this.

8.2 / 10.0 - Need for Speed Heat
Nov 8, 2019

Fans of Hot Pursuit will definitely have a good time with Need for Speed Heat and racing fans, in general, will love it. It's fast, fun and hectic.

If you’re after mini-games, you’re better off playing Super Mario Party, but Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is a close second.

3 / 10.0 - Death Stranding
Nov 1, 2019

Death Stranding is not entertaining. As such, it fails as a video game, it fails as a narrative and it fails overall.

8.8 / 10.0 - Luigi's Mansion 3
Oct 29, 2019

Luigi’s Mansion 3 is a perfect example of a “Nintendo Game.” It’s simple, yet complex. Engaging, fun and perfectly paced. It’s an absolutely riotous good time and once again, shines the light on Luigi, Nintendo’s most interesting and well-developed Mario brother.

Fans will get a kick out of seeing the update but everyone else would be better off giving this one a miss altogether.

f you missed it before and are a fan of either LEGO, Jurassic Park or both, then grabbing it on Switch is a no brainer.

6.6 / 10.0 - Dead by Daylight
Oct 23, 2019

Overall, there are better ways to play Dead By Daylight (it's free with Xbox Game Pass) but, it plays really well on Switch and if you don't have any other platform, it's a great game that is a worthy addition to your Switch collection.

Bungie has clearly worked to reinvigorate Destiny 2 and Shadowkeep is a great step in the right direction.

8.1 / 10.0 - Overwatch - Switch
Oct 16, 2019

If you only own a Switch then this is easily a must-buy. If you own it on another platform and love it, you'll have a great time on Switch too. Overwatch on Switch, what a time to be alive.

Now that The Witcher 3 is on Switch, there's no reason that every other game in existence isn't. I love The Witcher 3 and on Switch, I love it even more.

6.7 / 10.0 - Code Vein
Oct 14, 2019

There's a lot to like about Code Vein though it's definitely not the most original game. Not everything works and what does is a lot of what we've seen before.

It's not the best game I've ever played but it's fun, it's thrilling, action-packed and incredibly addictive.

8.3 / 10.0 - John Wick Hex
Oct 8, 2019

John Wick Hex is an excellent adaptation of a film franchise that could have been a lazy shooter. Instead, it’s one of the best strategy games available today.
