The Switch Effect
HomepageThe Switch Effect's Reviews
Bambas! is an okay game. It has lots of style and is enjoyable for a few hours but will become boring rather quickly for some. But for a game that only costs $15, it’s solid.
Sure, people who have played the original are going to love this game. But I hope this game finds its way to people who haven’t played the original. Maybe someone didn’t have a 3DS back then, or they didn’t like the artstyle, or they didn’t get into life sims until recently. Whatever the reason, people need to play this.
The Switch 2 version includes the base game and the Phantom Liberty expansion together for only $70. If you buy a physical copy, it’s all on one cartridge and you gets stickers too. The Switch 2 version of Cyberpunk 2077 is as good as you could ask form and needs to be played.
There’s enough content to suck hundreds of hours out of you and if you’re playing in handheld mode, some of the visual graphics are less noticeable. If you can get the game on Steam or PS5, that honestly should be your first choice, but this is a great example of how powerful the Switch 2 is and should be enjoyed if you’re playing this way.
This game is an unexpected hit that’s crafted with love. There’s hundreds of interactions and a ton of solid writing. It’s perfect for romance fans but because of how different it is from the average romance visual novel, most gamers will enjoy it as well.
Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo is a phenomenal love letter to a bygone era of video games and toys that many people played and loved.
You can get between 15 and 30 hours of playtime if you don’t mind the repetition and constant grinding, but I don’t see the average gamer doing more than one run and for $30 it’s a bit on the expensive side.
9th Dawn Remake is so much fun, there’s so much to do, and it runs perfectly on the Switch. For only $16, the game throws so much content and value at you and will keep you occupied for 50 hours or more. It’s well worth the price of admission if you’re an RPG lover.
his is a game that’s easy to fall in love with and allows you to have a lot of fun right at the start but it can be a bit overwhelming for some.
There’s a lot that hinders the game but if you’re a fan of Gal Gun or Demon Purge, you’ll get some enjoyment out of it. The gameplay itself is solid and there’s something there for fans of the writing and franchise humor
If you like card games like Poker, then you’ll like the gameplay loop but if you aren’t a gambling addict like Asuha, the game won’t have much else to offer besides the humor.
Hundred Line has so many things going for it and none of them are half-assed. If you're a fan of tactical RPG's, you'll love it.
If you’re a newcomer to this game, you’ll have a blast and should look into buying the game digitally.
MiceGard isn’t a game-changer but for $10 it’s a short and charming adventure.
Overall, Deep Beyond has as much narrative depth as a ten-minute visual novel but the art style and voice acting really stand out.
I couldn’t make it more than two minutes without being bombarded with some form of immersion breaking technical issues. Dungeons 4 is by no means a bad game, but it’s incredibly difficult to play on the Switch, especially in handheld mode.
To those who haven’t seen the anime, it’s just another SRPG, and maybe they’ll like the story and check it out. For those who are fans of the anime, they’ll enjoy that it isn’t just a redo of stuff they’ve already seen while also getting a handful of subtle references.
think the less I say, the better. Yes, I want to discuss more the game, but I think this is better to be experienced more than read through a review.
These ports aren’t at all expensive, but I see very little to absolutely zero reason to buy this by itself outside of nostalgia for the GBA port.
Growing up, I had no idea that Aero the Acrobat had a sequel. Well, I do know now and you know what, I actually like this more than the original game.
