The Switch Effect
HomepageThe Switch Effect's Reviews
Persona 5 Royal is one of the quintessential JRPG’s that you need to own on the Nintendo Switch. In fact, if you have the OLED model, this could easily be the best way to play amongst all consoles. If you’ve played Persona 5 Royal on the PS4, it’s the same game, but better, and is very deserving of an additional purchase.
I’ve seen a lot of people complain that Harvestella is just another farming game, when in reality, it’s a full blown RPG that has farming as an economical side quest that’s meant to boost the RPG side of things, and I think that’s an amazing touch.
Lunistice is a very fun game with brilliant mechanics and a great soundtrack, what more could you want?
On the surface, Chained Echoes is an amazing game, but one that offers you an even better experience overall the more you play.
Adventure Academia: The Fractured Continent is a lighthearted mix between strategy RPG and anime inspired visual novel by Acquire, the team that co-developed Octopath Traveler.
It’s not Three Houses but there’s still a lot in terms of gameplay and characters that people who have played Three Houses will enjoy.

The greatest strength of the Legend of Heroes series is its ability to weave together a multitude of grand stories across a cohesive and ever-expanding timeline, akin to the likes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Hey. Yeah! Hey You! There’s this massive tower you should go to. I hear, if you get to the top, this “Cyber Goddess” can grant you any wish you want. She’s really a hottie too, you should totally go. Quick warning though, its a real tough one and they really want you dead.
You ever play a game that is just so hopelessly dire and dreary…yet still finding ways to have a sense of humor, as messed up as said humor gets? Yeah, that’s LISA. A bit of an indie darling of an RPG on the PC front funded through Kickstarter with a rather small budget, it’s now enhanced and now on consoles.
Anyone can make a re-release or game collection, but Digital Eclipse has shown lately that they just have it in them to make celebrations of these games.
Imagine. A world without screen crunch, the crappy GameBoy speakers, needing to use external light to play the best of GameBoy. This is the kind of game Curse Crackers is.
If you played every retro RPG and are looking for more, Sea of Stars will scratch that itch and offer you some welcome nostalgia.
You can tell that the game has been around for nearly ten years and the game suffers from a silly and complicated story but there’s a lot to enjoy.
The Disgaea franchise is incredibly ambitious and with each new installment the fun and chaos grow. Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless is no exception.
It’s a fun game that looks and sounds great and will be doable for people who have tons of experience with these kinds of games and lots of patience.
The game is basically a time consuming, laid back simulator like Powerwash Simulator but with a more thrilling vibe.
If you’re a fan of the Ghostbusters franchise or you like this style of gameplay similar to Phasmophobia, Dead By Daylight, or Friday the 13th: The Game, then Spirits Unleashed will be the game for you.
The game has enough content and gameplay mechanics to be a lot of fun and keep you busy for hours but it simply can’t run on the Switch.
The game runs incredibly well on the Switch, especially if you’re using a pro controller and has enough content to last you 100 hours or more.
