Pacific Drive is a unique twist on the survival genre that will make you fall in with a car, if you can handle its random difficulty spikes.
Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island maintains the series' challenge and ads plenty of dungeons.
It may only be February, but I'm confident Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is going to be 2024's Game of the Year.
Spirit Hunter: Death Mark II is a gripping and gruesome read that leaves you wanting more.
The idea of choosing between your personal and professional life in Sympathy Kiss is interesting, but there are elements that remind me of mobile otome games.
Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash is a tiresome game that is only good for some completely mindless action for diehard fans of the anime.
Silent Hill: The Short Message is true to Silent Hill, and delves head first into psychological horror.
GUNVOLT RECORDS: Cychronicle feels like a budget title that samples a handful of notable Gunvolt series tracks, but I wish there was more to it.
Mario vs Donkey Kong is totally fine on the Switch, with levels and modes for players of all difficulty levels.
Foamstars is fun, but the bland aesthetics and aggressive monetization are huge turn-offs that prevent this from fully reaching its potential.
Ultros drips style, but does not skimp on substance. The psychedelic art style and dreamy soundtrack elevate the familiar, but not quite tired, gameplay loop.
Under Night in Birth II SYS: Celes looks similar to its predecessors, but visual cleanups, new mechanics, and improved online make it stand on its own.
Konosuba: Love for These Clothes of Desire! is a zany dress-up visual novel filled with fanservice for Konosuba fans, but plays too many dress-up moments straight which feels contrary to the series that often plays up the humor or has some sort of meta commentary about its raunchy moments.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League isn't horrible, but it's bland and uninteresting and that may be worse. The real insult here is that Rocksteady Games had all the tools to do something great and innovative and just made a by-the-book live-service game instead.
Granblue Fantasy Relink is a game that wears its heart on its sleeve with its sincere narrative and engrossing combat.
While I miss the female protagonist and the dungeon-crawling element may feel a bit dated, Persona 3 Reload is a joy to play and offers everything I could want from it.
There's a wealth of wonderful fighting to be had in Tekken 8, and it's a fantastic place to take your first steps into Tekken.
Lil Guardsman absolutely surprised me with its detail, depth, humor, and heart.
As overstuffed as it is, we didn't want Infinite Wealth to end. It's such a high-effort package with tons of heart, and it's hard not to let that endearing feel sand down some of the game's rough mechanical edges.
The Apollo Justice trilogy comprises of three excellent ports, but the compilation highlights existing issues with the games in a way that make it difficult to forget about.
