The idea behind Umbraclaw and its character designs is amazing, but know going in it can be challenging and demand perfection.
The atmospheric horror is sure to make shivers run down your spine, but it fails to maintain its momentum.
While the visuals of RKGK could use some polish, its addictive movement mechanics are up there with some of the best.
1000xResist is provocative in such a way that its characters, events, and lore keep tickling your brain and urging you to continue.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is both the best Paper Mario entry and a Switch game everyone should own and play.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II raises the bar of narrative games, as it delivers a cinematic experience with groundbreaking audio and gameplay.
Read Only Memories: Neurodiver is worth the wait. As you play through it, you can see why it took Midboss so much time to craft the adventure, its characters, and its world.
With its intriguing worldview, aesthetics, and puzzles, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a unique puzzle game that presents its story in an elevated and artistic way.
If the idea of being plopped in a foreign place that is ominous with no explanation and residents that may or may not want you there sounds appealing, Animal Well will prove an interesting trip.
Little Kitty, Big City feels like a more innocent approach to the Untitled Goose Game formula and is an absolute delight.
Crow Country feels classic and modern at the same time, offering its own take on the old-school survival horror genre.
Endless Ocean Luminous promises a deep dive into a sea which ends up being shallow.
Terra Memoria is a unique 3D game utilizing 2D pixel inspirations that can quickly become a favorite cozy RPG adventure.
SaGa: Emerald Beyond fascinates (for better and for worse) from start to finish. The multiple protagonists, bizarre presentation, and straightforward mechanics make for a rather easy but wholly unique JRPG.
Stellar Blade is an excellent action RPG with stylish and challenging combat.
Sand Land is a great vehicular action-RPG, one of the best anime and manga games available, and a parting gift from the late Akira Toriyama.
Tales of Kenzera: Zau is a fun platformer mixed with a genuinely moving story of grief, all in a setting we rarely see in games.
Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes is designed to bring players a modern take on a classic JRPG experience. Get ready to lead 100+ playable characters through a war-torn world only you can save. Switch version reviewed. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes. On a PC, I imagine Eiyuden Chronicle might generally be fine, but on the Switch it is a mess.
This jam-packed collection features Touch Detective 3, the biggest and best point-and-click adventure of junior detective Mackenzie and her faithful sidekick Funghi, playable in English for the first time. Touch Detective 3 + The Complete Case Files also includes the entire original Touch Detective and Touch Detective 2½ games, plus two bonus cases starring Funghi and an extensive museum of artwork and music from the entire Touch Detective series. Switch version reviewed. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes. It’s great to finally get Touch Detective 3 in the west and the collection makes it easy to enjoy all three games, but it doesn’t feel fully optimized for the Switch.
Slap your way to the top of high society! Grace and glamour give way to open-handed duels across five games of aristocratic absurdity - Rose & Camellia 1, 2, 3, & 4, plus Rose & Camellia vs. La-Mulana - in which you'll slap, dodge, feint, and counter your way through a series of one-on-one smackdowns. Switch version reviewed. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes. Rose & Camellia Collection is a gimmick game that 100% commits to the bit in a delightful way, though the control options may frustrate some.
