Both MySims and MySims Kingdom are pleasant, upbeat games that let you be creative, and MySims Cozy Bundle lets you take your time with both.
Marvel Rivals is a better hero shooter for remaining unbalanced, prioritizing fun over competitive play which allows it to shine.
Stalker 2 is a game as frustrating as it is captivating, delivering an immersive world and gripping narrative, but its performance, technical issues, and poor AI hold it back from reaching its full potential. Dedicated fans will undoubtedly find brilliance here, but for now, it's a flawed gem that may shine brighter with future updates. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes.
Steam Prison: Beyond the Steam prioritizes the story, just like the original otome game, but could had a stronger focus on love interests.
Sorry We're Closed emphasizes the fear in love, heartbreak, and change in a survival horror with an impeccable presentation and art style.
The gameplay loop itself is relaxing and easy. But the characters and the story are so shallow despite being such a huge part of the game that it can grow tiresome.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered is a love letter to the franchise. Whether you’re revisiting Nosgoth or exploring it for the first time, this remaster is a must-play. It not only highlights why these games were ahead of their time but also underscores their enduring legacy.
If you’re a fan of the series, Fairy Tail 2 is a great time, although technical issues on Switch hinder the experience.
Whether you’re a casual gamer with a soft spot for Indiana Jones or a fan of cinematic action-adventure titles, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has something for everyone. The game’s customizable difficulty settings and accessible mechanics ensure players of all skill levels can enjoy the adventure. However, don’t expect to spend hours cracking intricate puzzles and riddles — the Great Circle leans more into its action, narrative, and authenticity than brain teasers.
Fantasian: Neo Dimension finally does this Mistwalker JRPG justice with its arrival on modern console and PC platforms without a subscription. The hand-created visuals and environments look stunning, the memorable story is helped along with a great cast of characters, and the new additions like voice acting and Final Fantasy music make this better than some Final Fantasy games in recent memory.
Project Debut: Cooking Cafe can get tedious, but it’s so much fun to make the weirdest recipes and be rewarded for culinary crimes.
Matsuro Palette has a unique gameplay loop and provides some surprisingly difficult puzzles. However, what really makes it shine is its story and surprisingly endearing main lead.
Garden of the Sea may have succeeded as a VR experience, but this aquatic paradise has not transitioned well to the Switch.
SINce Memories: Off the Starry Sky has its good points. The production values haven’t been skimped on, the setting is well-realized, and some of the characters are very interesting to get to know. Sadly, the writing on the whole is very uneven, leading to a lot of routes that don’t pay off properly and a couple really poor characters. There’s some potential here but the game ultimately fails to realize it, despite taking a very long time to get everything into position. It’s an inauspicious Western debut for such a beloved franchise.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard does little to hint at the grand return of BioWare. Like Inquisition, Anthem, and Mass Effect Andromeda, The Veilguard does a great job with combat but lacks the meaningful story, writing, and exploration this studio desperately needs.
Goblin Slayer Another Adventurer: Nightmare Feast has appeal for old school tactical RPG fans but does little to stand out.
Death Note Killer Within is better than I expected it to be, but is also a game where your experience hinges on other people’s behavior and actually getting to complete a match.
If you enjoy puzzle games, the works of Double Fine or Undertale, you’ll find a lot to love in Great God Grove.
An excellent new take on one of the true classics of the JRPG genre. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake offers newcomers a wonderful entry point while also giving veterans a reason to tackle this quest again.
Tetris Forever is, ultimately, a well-crafted educational documentary about the franchise that’s a joy to work your way through, at which point it becomes a vessel for Tetris Battle Gaiden.
