A dark fairy tale with a charming little hero, unsettling enemies, and plenty of surprises, Well Dweller is a fun adventure for anyone who likes their platformers with a twisted side. With its haunting atmosphere, challenging metroidvania gameplay, and a story about a little bird willing to face a dangerous world to save his family, there's plenty here to keep you hooked.
Woodo is a storybook puzzle game that aims to be as comfortable as a good flannel on a chill autumn day. And it succeeds. It also ends before the puzzle dynamic wears out its welcome, and will elicit enough smiles to keep cozy game fans entertained throughout.
Regarding the LEGO M.O., the cliché can ring true: what you see is what you get. Thankfully, in Legacy of the Dark Knight's case, you see a lot of great things. Despite the bugs, this is a refined entry in many ways. Don't be surprised if your play sessions run longer than expected and if your interest holds well after the credits roll. If it's been a while since you've played one of these LEGO Batman games, now is a great time to hop back in. "Like a growing addiction that I can't deny," Legacy of the Dark Knight is "the new king in town."
If you're a horse lover, you'll enjoy being an equestrian in Rival Stars Horse Racing. However, the gameplay may get repetitive after some time.
Marsupilami 2 – Salsa Palombia does what a 2D platformer should do—entertain and engage the player and provide a fun diversion to the rest of an ordinary or boring day. Even better when you can share the diversion with a friend.
1000xRESIST is an ambitious title featuring quirky characters set in a dystopian future. While some parts are a little slow, and I could do with a map at times, it presents an intelligent and intriguing look at humanity's obsession with love and loss.
Farming Simulator 26's robust system of farming tools, crops, and livestock should be entertaining to those willing to invest the time into deciphering how each individual piece works. Or, more likely, to the people who have played previous versions of the game. If you're not willing to put in the time, however, this is going to be a bitter harvest.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition offers plenty for action RPG fans to dig into, including a parry-based combat system that's quite engaging when it works. But a troublesome Switch 2 port gets in the way of the game's core mechanics, frustrating the player throughout.
Heave Ho 2 provides plenty of joyful chaos to co-op party gamers, provided everyone's coming in at the same level. Gameplay relies on complexity of movement and controls, so seasoned players will need plenty of patience to enjoy the game with newbies.
Small Saga is a charming and surprisingly deep RPG with a unique setting, memorable characters, and beautiful pixel art. Its streamlined combat and shorter length make it easy to recommend for anyone looking for a fun RPG that doesn't overstay its welcome.
Deathbulge: Battle of the Bands is a weird, creative RPG with unique combat, colorful visuals, memorable characters, and a great soundtrack. A few repetitive battles and confusing areas hold it back slightly, but there's plenty of personality here to make it worth checking out.
Future Knight looks like nothing you've played on the Switch. In fact, it probably looks like nothing you've played since the '80s. The LCD-inspired visuals are certainly fun, but so are the 2D arcade action platforming and the bizarre narrative, making this a unique choice for retro enthusiasts.
Part one of the Pokémon Pokopia DLC, Bubbly Basin, is an exciting addition to an already fabulous game. You'll meet new Pokémon, explore a new area, and spend even more hours rebuilding and having fun.
Overall, Onimusha: Way of the Sword is an absolute triumph. The fast-paced action, engaging characters and story, and sublime visuals combine to create one of my favorite games of the year so far. Yes, it's that good. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a slice of adventure. And if you don't believe me, there's a free demo ready to sway you.
Overall, I enjoyed my time with Duskfade. It's not perfect, but it's engaging and, importantly, fun. A lot of love has been put into this game, and it shows. If you enjoy 3D action-based platformers, it's definitely worth checking out.
Disgaea Mayhem does a great job of presenting the loveable Disgaea vibe in an action RPG setting. But that setting is pretty thin and unrewarding, especially considering the limited content provided for the asking price.
If you have a group of agreeable friends with strong internet connections, plenty of time to spare, and a commitment to see the game through, Big Walk could be highly memorable. We're hoping for a sequel with Gameshare support that's a little more of an exploration puzzle-solving adventure, and a little less walking simulator. The former was our highlight, and once the "walker-talker" novelty wears off, they're what will make the game endure as a showcase of its best.
If the background music was different, and the developers accentuated the suspense factor a bit, Looking for Fael could be a real thriller, bordering on spooky. As it stands, it's still quite a good option for puzzle enthusiasts.
Brigandine Abyss is a deeply involved SRPG that is here to weed out the strategy dilettantes and reward dedicated. The fun here is in the planning, which is good, but the lack of focus on the actual turn-based combat means many will not stay with it for the hundreds of gameplay hours it offers.
Overall, Denshattack! is a unique outing that's fast and fun. Pulling off tricks using a train is such a strange concept, but it works really well. The team has built a wonderful world, putting a twist on the skating genre and coupling it with neat characters and an anime style. If my review hasn't convinced you, there's even a free demo to check out.
