Deadly Premonition 2 unfortunately fails to establish itself in the modern gaming landscape. It still retains a unique identity but the disappointing technical performance has destroyed some of the goodwill carried from the first game.
Fairy Tail is a strong attempt to bring this licensed IP to the consoles. It manages to succeed with its RPG elements although the story does suffer from the transition to a different medium.
Destroy All Humans! is a refreshing remake that harkens back to the classic times when developers were more concerned with experimenting with gameplay and story instead of creating the next cinematic masterpiece.
Desperados III is a faithful return for the series, occasionally to a fault but often to great success. It’ll please fans of strategy games but won’t make a fan out of those that aren’t.
As far as remasters go, this one is an incredible jump over the original game in terms of visuals, however, it comes with its baggage on the virtue of being an old game that suffers from outdated design.
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch with a flawless re-imagining of the cult-classic JRPG.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners’ moment-to-moment combat makes it easy to recommend to PSVR owners.
Sequels can reiterate and improve on the flaws of their predecessor but My Hero One's Justice 2 has settled on offering more quantity instead of improving its quality.
Hunt: Showdown takes the concept of survival horror into a new dimension by adding multiplayer. On paper, this idea seems hard to execute but the developers have managed to successfully transition it into a video game that is satisfying to play, especially with a group of friends.
Granblue Fantasy: Versus is an ambitious spin-off based on the popular series that attempts to mix the fighting genre with RPG and succeeds with it.
Despite the lack of a few features, this latest installment does for Streets of Rage what Sonic Mania did for its respective series.
Persona 5 Royal is a love letter from Atlus to Persona 5 fans. It’s essential for RPG enthusiasts who have yet to experience the original, but the amount of fan service here also makes it worth checking out for series veterans.
One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows delivers style over substance. It’s a casual adventure/fighting game where chaos and spectacle take precedence over deep and strategic combat.
The Yakuza Remastered Collection took its time in coming to the West, but the long wait is worth it to have the complete Dragon of Dojima's story on a single platform.
Sam’s Story offers more of Metro Exodus’ core experience in a fresh setting but doesn’t add much new to its formula.
Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is a solid action game with an enjoyable customization system and fun battles. It lacks in innovation with the story repeating events from the popular anime, but this is merely a design decision and has no bearing on the overall quality of the product.
Yu Suzuki might not have delivered a perfect continuation of Ryo Hazuki's journey but the work he has done in making Shenmue III is admirable. It is a good game once you dig underneath it, warts and all, especially considering the expectations of making this sequel after all these years.
Marred by problematic controls, Golem is otherwise the closest thing yet to Dark Souls VR.
Need for Speed Heat drifts in the right direction but doesn't quite reach the finish line.
SRPG fans have limited choice on Nintendo Switch and this is where the Disgaea series truly shines. Disgaea 4 Complete Plus might not be a new game, but it doesn't need to be one. It has the perfect blend of everything from the likable cast, addicting gameplay, to a deep customization and combat system.
