With Lumines Arise, the Tetris Effect developers delivered another puzzle game that is gorgeous to look at and works well. PC version reviewed. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes.
Stray Children is a unique and special JRPG from developers known for PS1 obscure gems and aren’t afraid to embrace every element of that era.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment feels like a more niche The Legend of Zelda game, but Tears of the Kingdoms fans may appreciate its lore.
Undusted: Letters from the Past combines cleaning up interesting and poignant items with stories about why each one matters.
Once Upon a Katamari feels like it is as strong of an entry as a game like We Love Katamari, and it captures the essence of the series.
Ball x Pit is a novel game that combines many roguelike, block-busting, and city organization elements in a way that makes sense.
Wander Stars is interesting and tells a Dragon Ball type of tale, especially considering its novel combat system that uses words to construct every action.
I appreciate the execution in Battle Suit Aces and how it prioritizes characters and stories, resulting in a game that reminds me of Gundam series in the best ways.
Much like Estelle does to Joshua in the game’s opening moments, Nihon Falcom kicks you in the face with Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter’s excellence.
Consume Me is fantastic at making the player feel things, like frustration at situations and joy at finishing a to-do list.
Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian feels like a more simple entry, and it sadly looks bad on the Switch.
A sad story touching on themes that are sadly still relevant today, Silent Hill f is a fun and unforgettable horror game with a uniquely beautiful aesthetic.
I feel like Little Problems: A Cozy Detective Game is a game you open up and play when you’re looking for a slight challenge to wind down.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion goes above and beyond to make players feel involved in the story and customize their Arsenal.
While the OFF remaster is valuable, there are times when I felt like the original game resonated more with me.
Shuten Order is an innovative multi-genre adventure wrapped with an intriguing and mysterious story, but its localization needed more care.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World Switch 2 Edition, with its improved performance and delightful expansion, is better and more essential than the original.
Herdling is a magical game about some really unique creatures, and I loved guiding them.
The Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar remake is a far stronger game on the Switch 2 than the original DS release.
Some minor quality-of-life ideas aside, Is This Seat Taken is a relaxed game filled with generally pleasant logic puzzles.
