Dangerously overpriced surrealist horror.
The king of battle royale has fallen victim to regicide.
I think the only real use for this game is as a prank gift. Don’t buy the physical version because that can be resold or returned. I’m talking about logging into your friend’s console account and buying the digital copy so that it’s in their game library forever, a reminder of life’s cruelty. You know what? It’s not worth the money or embarrassment of them finding out you knew about this game.
A great gateway title for roguelikes, and a great game on its own rights.
A rather humdrum, err, Hyper Light Drifter clone, that falls just short of being one of the best RPGs of 2018.
A weird title. It's not an overwhelmingly good walking simulator, it's not an outrageously bad exploration game, it's just... there.
It's Captain Planet meets Inside. You can't go wrong with a combination like that, surely.
A pleasantly challenging precision platformer with a gorgeous art style and fascinating mythology.
One of the more fun experiments to test, with a sublime world to explore, and less-than-sublime gameplay attached.
A Way Out is one of the best co-op experiences out there. A great storyline and various possibilities make for a great and intriguing experience.
A bit of a step down from what came before, but still a solid and fun entry in the series, especially when playing with friends.
Shadow Bug is a rich indie game with some rather creative ideas and some great level design, a surprisingly well-executed narrative and style, a constant barrage of challenges to keep you on your toes, and a unique gameplay premise that takes advantage of the Nintendo Switch’s unique abilities on a fun, but still challenging scale.
Whatever promise Sea of Thieves had at the beginning falters soon after, to the point where this is a hot contender for The Most Boring Game of 2018.
An interesting experiment game that is currently near-impossible, and is in desperate need of a few tweaks.
The first-time attempt to make Dynasty Warriors open-world is valiant, yet ultimately makes the entire game lifeless.
One of the best platformers you'll ever play. The story is also equally superb.
So is Super Meat Boy worth another go? Even if you bought and played the game halfway through its lifespan, I would say that it’s a definite “yes.” For newcomers who enjoy pain- I mean, who enjoy a challenge, I’m excited for you. You’re going to have a fantastic time yelling at your Switch while loving every minute of it.
RiME is a freaking beautiful and even fun experience- one that is marred by almost constant performance issues on the Nintendo Switch, including frame drops and skips.
A moving story of miniature apocalypses as a larger one blazes in the background.
The ultimate example of how to immediately remake a game and one of the best stories I've seen so far in Pokémon.
