Darkest Dungeon manages to make turn-based combat terrifying for entirely different reasons.
A great gateway title for roguelikes, and a great game on its own rights.
Standard Roguelike Fare. Fun, but doesn't add anything.
Brawlhalla is a phenomenal platform fighter that will find its way to the most competitive players in the genre.
Metro Exodus is worth a playthrough, even if some of its components need a little work. The game does a brilliant job of building an enticing atmosphere in its many environments while telling a compelling story. The gunplay and crafting system are interesting enough to carry you until the end, even if some of the characters aren't. It's a lengthy adventure, one that I took about a couple dozen to get through.
Whatever missteps Ashen makes can be mostly overlooked, save for the worlds rarely unforgiving nature. This was a journey that enticed me from start to finish, and I pray to The Lord Bruce Lee that it'll do the same to you.
BlazBlue: Central Fiction Special Edition on Nintendo Switch is a really good game, but not without some setbacks. You won't find much activity if you're looking to play online, which is a huge bummer for gamers who aren't keen on playing with friends in person. The asking price is also a bit high, but other than that, you'll have a great time with this 2D fighting game.
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair provides plenty of fun for fans of the platform genre. The game may have some small drawbacks, but it shines in most of what it sets out to do. In a world of dozens of platformers, it manages to hold its own.
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.
Tries to do a whole lot and doesn't do it all perfectly, but certainly doesn't fail either.
A really neat mix of mechanics and style leads Monster Energy Supercross 2 to be one of the strongest Motocross titles around.
An understated and fun little survival simulator that is mostly well-balanced, and a small treat to play.
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.
It's not the biggest rip-off in the world, and Vaporum's neat little spins on dungeon crawling are respectable, with the combat being tactical and in-depth, and the story not being as rewarding as you'd think.
One of the more fun experiments to test, with a sublime world to explore, and less-than-sublime gameplay attached.
A neat little package of RTS goodness.
It's Captain Planet meets Inside. You can't go wrong with a combination like that, surely.
A botched port doesn't change the fact that Anodyne is worth a shot, with it being a really well done surrealist title.
Kill la Kill the Game: IF is a good game, but it could have been so much more. I can really only recommend this to die-hard fans of the anime and thirsty fighting-game fans.
