Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is a logical continuation for such a nonsensical series. Despite some issues with mission structure and some signs of age, this is still a very good superpowered thrill ride of presidential proportions.
Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe is an average fighting game. Although the gameplay isn't bad, there are too many other underlying issues that keep me from recommending this title. Try another fighter instead.
Diabolic is a fun action-adventure game with smooth controls and unique gameplay. It'll challenge you but not to the point where you'll rage quit.
Duck Souls+ is simple, but it excels at what it does. It’s inexpensive and adorable. There are few key ingredients that it takes to make a good platformer and Duck Souls+ has them all.
CAN ANDROIDS PRAY:BLUE tells an effective story of two mech pilots addressing some existential topics as they face imminent death. It's not a game, but a unique narrative that's better if you have someone with whom you can share the characters' struggle.
My time spent with HyperParasite was a lot of fun. Aside from the difficulty at times, it was enjoyable to take over host bodies. Being able to take over people and use different abilities kept the game feeling fresh. HyperParasite is definitely worth the asking price of $17.99.
While it's got problems, SnakeyBus remains a fun game with one of the more creative ideas I've seen lately.
Bohemian Killing isn't the prettiest game in the world, but it's certainly a fascinating experience. It delivers on both its concept as a good ol' fashioned whodunnit, as well as its unconventional approach to storytelling.
While there's definitely room for improvement and expansion, I can see kids liking this game quite a bit. There's plenty to unlock, and hearing that you did something better than Mama brings a smile. As someone new to the series, Cooking Mama: Cookstar felt reasonably fresh to me. But vets may find it more so resembles leftovers. Hopefully, the rights holder and publisher can work things out.
Otherworldly is just a little underwhelming and short for the price. I recommend waiting for a discount if this looks like a game you would be interested in.
Save Koch is an absorbing story with well-written characters and a genuinely engaging mystery.
If you subscribe to Apple Arcade and can play Shinsekai Into the Depths on any of your Apple devices, there's little to be gained by moving it to the Switch. But if the Switch is your only access to this undersea wonderland, Shinsekai is an intriguing, engaging, and beautiful adventure worth exploring.
Swordbreaker The Game delivers on its promise of a choose-your-own-adventure story. If you like reading and enjoy a somewhat crazy adventure, this isn't a bad way to spend a few hours, especially if you're in self-isolation mode right now.
While Random Heroes may make a decent mobile game, the updated version—Random Heroes: Gold Edition—isn't really up to par, especially for the asking price of $4.99. It is an excellent example of why some games should stay on mobile devices.
Roundguard is a unique twist on the RPG and puzzle genres. With smooth controls and fun gameplay, Roundguard has some great potential.
Arcade games are known for being to-the-point and energetic. Finding one that's both of those things, and fast-paced, is a treasure. There's definitely replayability in a title like Super Destronaut: Land Wars. Short as it might be overall, the game modes never get boring.
Alder's Blood is a wonderfully crafted game with an intoxicating story. Its missions are simple but your strategy can't be if you want to survive.
No, I didn't chuck my controller as I've grown up. However, I still say the game cheats. That aside, LA-MULANA has a ton of playability as you try to find hidden shops and solve the puzzles. It is not the best game on the Switch, but it is a lot of fun. It would be a shame to pass up this little hidden gem.
I still enjoyed this game for the way it offered some youthful nostalgia. It delivers a definite challenge. But LA-MULANA 2 is cut from the same cloth and does very little that's different from the first. While that doesn't make the game bad, it does make it frustrating.
Exit the Gungeon is a refreshing next step for the franchise. The smaller scale comes with certain drawbacks, but it's nonetheless a worthwhile experience, even if it's not to the same standard as the original.
