At first, the game was slow and rather boring. But after I got past the first three days and got a real grasp on what I was doing, I started having lots of fun. Kabuto Park is a very chill and relaxing title that many players will enjoy.
LEGO games are usually lots of fun to begin with, but this one is elevated by being a fantastic tribute to decades of Batman. If you’re a fan of Batman, you’re really going to love the storylines, costumes, and references.
One run might only take you about twenty or so minutes, but you’re going to keep playing over and over so you can watch the rewards pile up. Rune Dice is such a fun game. Even if you only do a few runs, you’ll have a blast.
Is Calamity Angels: Special Delivery worth picking up? You might find the gameplay to be way too easy at times, but the game has a lot of charm. For $30, it’s pretty good since you can get between 15 and 20 hours out of it. You might also enjoy it a lot more if you think of it as less of a regular game and more of an interactive anime.
ingdom’s Return: Time-Eating Fruit and the Ancient Monster is not a bad game, the combat side should be enough to keep anyone interested for a few hours. If the game was priced at $40 to $60, I’d definitely say to avoid it, but for $15, it’s not a bad pickup for the amount of content you’ll get.
If you don’t like slow-paced games that require a lot of strategy, you might not like this one. The game is also heavily influenced by Japanese culture, history, and mythology. But it’s a really interesting experience if you can get past all that. For $15, it’s an interesting pickup.
PowerWash Simulator was already a great game at launch, and it was a great price. But it’s even better now. A sequel did come out last year, but it’s not available for the original Switch. If you want to scratch that itch with one of the most satisfying games ever, revisit the original PowerWash Simulator if you have a Switch.
Tomodachi Life Living The Dream is basically Animal Crossing meets The Sims, and it’s nearly perfect in every way.
It’s still nothing like the original Crazy Taxi, but it’s significantly better than the first Taxi Chaos. The story mode adds purpose and the world itself is better. While you’re sitting around hoping for an actual Crazy Taxi game, the Taxi Chaos sequel is a serviceable replacement. The price is a bit much though. It’s the same price as the original, but even with its improvements, I can’t really recommend paying more than $25.
Baladins has a lot of content, and it’s definitely going to appeal to fans of Tabletop RPG’s. It’s a fun game, has a good bit of humor, and looks great. $24.99 is a decent price because you can get anywhere between 10 and 15 hours out of the game if you’re doing everything it has to offer.
I don’t like cleaning IRL, but it’s so much fun in the game, and I was constantly going back to old levels to see how newly acquired tools were incorporated. It will take you about two hours to beat, but you won’t want to put it down until it’s all done. $15 is a solid price, and you’ll love it if you enjoy games like PowerWash Simulator.
Honestly, there isn’t much else to say. The controls are smooth, the gameplay itself is so much fun, and the different loot mechanics are satisfying. It’s the most fun I’ve had with a sidescroller in years. Fans of Prince of Persia will love the game, but everyone else should enjoy it too. It’s a bit pricy at $30, but it’s still a fun game.
Estrange Overlord is a fun and quirky title. The humor, story, and characters were interesting enough to keep me going.
It took me less than an hour to reach level 200, but the game became way slower after that. This is because you have to put more emphasis on finding blueprints and crafting the best drills, instead of just digging straight down. DigDigDrill is a really good game, but of course, you’re going to have to already be a fan of this genre because it’s a slow burn game with no action. For only $10, it’s a solid pickup.
I’m not going to tell you what to do with a $10 game, but I would highly advise against picking this up. As long as you have a Steam Deck or a computer or laptop that isn’t from Apple, you can play Megabonk. Go play that instead.
The original Nordics is a great game, and the new stuff is amazing. The complete Proud package is phenomenal and if you haven’t played the original, the $70 complete package is a must buy. But if you already played Nordics, I would avoid this one. That’s a tough ask because fans of the series would have already played Nordics when it first released, but you must trust me on this one. If you played the original, wait for this one to go on sale or for a standalone DLC pack.
Pokopia is not a great Pokémon game. It’s a great Animal Crossing game and a great Minecraft game that’s disguised as a Pokémon game. That’s what makes it so special. There are so many reasons to play Pokopia, and the only excuse not to is the Switch 2 exclusivity. But that’s honestly a poor excuse. Pokopia could very well be one of the biggest games of 2026.
It’s pricy at $70, but it’s as good as many of the other turn-based RPG’s and monster catching games that came out recently.
While Seafrog is a very chill and cozy game, the mechanics could become a bit difficult for some people. I already mentioned how the controls can be a bit unforgiving, and boss battles might be a bit tough. People who love challenging games will enjoy this, but you’re also going to have a lot of fun skateboarding around the ship.
Even with all my personal gaming red flags, I really enjoyed playing through the game because it was quite the cinematic experience. People who love this kind of storytelling and gameplay will get even more out of the game than I did.
