LumenTale: Memories of Trey may have a few quirks on the Switch, but I like Beehive Studios’ take on the Pokemon concept. Switch version reviewed. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes.
Coffee Talk Tokyo is another serving of the same experience Toge Productions served up before, and it’s still quite delicious.
Zero Parades: For Dead Spies is a narrative espionage RPG that weaves a complex web of interests and lets you approach it in creative ways.
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is not only an unusual platformer, its experimental nature makes it feel like an entirely new type of experience.
A glance at Wax Heads might make you think it’s about assisting record store customers, but it’s not just some shop management simulation.
While InKonbini: One Store Many Stories is pleasant, I wish there was more impact associated with some of my actions. Switch version reviewed.
A cute and cozy adventure with surprisingly dark moments at times. It's heavily based on Moominland Midwinter, but the game is enjoyable even without knowledge of the original work or series. PC version reviewed. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes.
Find Your Words is a charming game that gets you thinking about communicating, with conversations sometimes feeling like puzzles. At the same time, it might offer a window into a different kind of life. This title could get you thinking about accessibility and how easy to might be to reach out to others and how easily it could be to connect to other beyond the more typical methods of communication.

Darwin’s Paradox can be a lot of fun, but how much you enjoy it depends on how much you enjoy stealth games where dangerous enemies chase you.
Some narrative and battle system decisions mean Dosa Diva doesn’t feel as unique, touching, and exciting as past Outerloop games. Switch 2 version reviewed.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection feels like it prioritizes story, characters, and combat in a way that makes the game feel even more like a JRPG. Switch 2 version reviewed. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes.
Esoteric Ebb is an unexpected delight that pairs elements of D&D campaigns with Disco Elysium, which turns out to be a perfect fit.
A gem of a game with quirky characters and an intriguing plot that's hard to put down, Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse is a game that I believe everyone should experience. A copy of this game was provided by the publisher for review. Reviewed on Switch 2.
While I’m a bit disappointed in the Adventure campaign, Mario Tennis Fever feels strong thanks to its Fever Rackets and range of modes. Switch 2 version reviewed. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes.
Mewgenics is satisfying, and I think the development team isn’t exaggerating when they say the campaign can last over 200 hours. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes.
