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.
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.
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.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a single player, narrative driven action-RPG that challenges the players to choose their own experience – from the appearance of their Arisen, their vocation, their party, how to approach different situations and more - in a truly immersive fantasy world. PC version reviewed. Review copy provided by company for testing purposes. Dragon's Dogma 2 is a marvel, and perhaps one of the best games within Capcom's catalogue of already impressive titles.
Help Peach save the Sparkle Theater from the wicked Grape and the Sour Bunch, who have set the stage for the ultimate tragedy. Joined by Stella, the theater’s guardian, Peach is ready to save the day! Review copy provided by company for testing purposes. Princess Peach: Showtime! has a surprising amount of depth, making one of the best Super Mario spin-offs to date.
Stellar Blade is an excellent action RPG with stylish and challenging combat.
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.
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.
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II raises the bar of narrative games, as it delivers a cinematic experience with groundbreaking audio and gameplay.
1000xResist is provocative in such a way that its characters, events, and lore keep tickling your brain and urging you to continue.
Tsukihime: A piece of blue glass moon is a beautiful game with an amazingly rich story, colorful cast of characters, and a smooth localization.
SteamWorld Heist II takes the things that worked in the original Heist and, well, gives players more of them. It’s well-considered in so many ways, making sure you’ll have a good time exploring its ideas for as long as it holds you. It ain’t exciting or revolutionary, really, but it sure is fun.
...Nexomon: Extinction puts its best foot forward, delivering the most polished version of itself it can offer.
Gust’s Fairy Tail game is one of those adaptations where it feels like the developer really understood what people love about the series.
Unlike that other game about the mushroom-y apocalypse, Void Terrarium is an optimistic game despite its dour premise. It isn’t afraid to be funny even in a sad context, and it really clings onto a sense of hope.
Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town’s Switch port is a means of preserving the past while gradually adjusting it so it is slightly more in tune with modern sensibilities.
The Switch is a great platform for games to dip into for a bit when you have a few minutes, but Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia isn’t one of them. It’s a commitment.
