Grim Fandango is a fantastic remake of a PC adventure classic and well worth playing on the Nintendo Switch. You can enjoy it on the go or at home on the TV and it's a perfect game to play around this time of the year. Every point-and-click adventure fan should pick this one up.
Horizon Chase Turbo is everything you could ask for in a modern take on the classic arcade racing genre. The gameplay is simple, there are several modes and cars to unlock, and the online leaderboard events will keep you coming back to this game again and again.
Party Hard is a controversial stealth slasher game that aesthetically shadows much of Hotline Miami. It finds some of its own identity in places, and tries hard not to take itself very seriously. You’ll get the gist of gameplay in the first couple of levels, and then it starts to feel like a monotonous grind.
Both fans and newcomers should find something to like with Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu/Eevee! This remake of Yellow brings the nostalgia for longtime players, and the game looks great. A lackluster challenge, forced motion controls, and neutered combat system all detract from what could have been an amazing experience.
If you’re up for a slick local play arena shooter for your Switch, Varion comes to the table with prominent visuals and easy controls. However the core game mechanic of ricochet-only kills will definitely turn off some players, as it feels more luck-based than skill.
Astebreed is a good game that makes you see quality over quantity in a whole new light. The game is stunningly beautiful, to the point that you would mistake it for a triple-A title. However, the game is absurdly short and severely lacks in content beyond the story mode.
Project Highrise: Architect’s edition is one of the best simulation games I have ever played. With endless content and extremely fun gameplay, I can see many people who purchase this game sinking many hours into it, while enjoying every moment. I greatly recommend a purchase of this wildly fun game.
Rogue Legacy is a roguelike that does everything so right for its genre. It has a unique premise, an interesting depth in its challenge, and immense replayability. It has some very minor flaws, but those pale in comparison to everything this game does right.
Gorgeous graphics, combined with explosive—and addictive—gameplay make The Bug Butcher the perfect addition to your Nintendo Switch library.
Switch owners who pick up this title will no doubt fall for its clever gameplay, over the top charm, and array of adorable monsters to collect.
Trailblazers incorporates some fun ideas, like painting the road to create boost strips, but fails to deliver in the controls department. It’s worth considering if you’re looking for something else that isn’t Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – but it’s nowhere near as fun.
Brawlhalla is a decent attempt at a free-to-play fighting game, though it leaves much to be desired. There’s some fun to be had with the offline modes, but nothing stands out enough that would make you want to spend actual money on the game.
Great ports, awesome extras, and both arcade and NES versions make this a good game that many will enjoy.
Fans of the anime fighter genre of games and of My Hero Academia should really enjoy this game. It has a fun and intense story, great fights, and entertaining music, living up to the high standard that the series has set for it.
This is a South Park game done right. You have the crude adult humor mixed well with the overall fun gameplay. The game suffers from a variety of smaller issues, but excels at providing an amazing experience for fans of the show.
Car Quest led on a promise of an epic adventure, but with highly monotonous gameplay, coupled with a visually dull world, and car handling that felt less like a sports car and more like a boat, there just were not enough redeeming features for me to say it’s worth $9.99. You’re better off not buying this car from the lot.
There aren’t a ton of futuristic racing games on the Switch, and Grip delivers the goods with high-speed frenetic action.
Gorgeous visuals, haunting music, a great story, and exceptionally fun gameplay mechanics make Diablo III: Eternal Collection one of the best titles on the Switch.
The Legend of Evil brings a creative and easily accessible single player Tower Defense game to the Nintendo Switch’s table. Gameplay is straightforward, but offers a lot of strategy as you progress.
With excellent music, beautifully drawn levels, and a story that jerks at the heartstrings, Transistor is a great game that will surely leave you satisfied and wanting to play through it a second time.
