The thing is, flying is hard. Getting serious air is a challenge, and when you hit the ground, the singing stops. But I didn’t want it too. I wanted to hear the beautiful improvised music. And so I wanted to fly. And therein lies the brilliance of The King’s Bird. Through its minimalist silhouettes, you get a cliched tale of oppression and freedom. The simple haunting music sets a tone. Platformers are one of the oldest genres of video games, and while this one controls differently, it is still a classical platformer at heart. But you want to hear the protagonist sing. You want to fly. She wants to fly. And in video games, there’s nothing more powerful than the moment that the player and the character’s desires become one.

The Messenger is a love letter to a bygone era that drops me right back into those wonderful times as soon as I turn on the Switch. Make sure you schedule a delivery with The Messenger, because you will not be disappointed when you sign for it.
Whether you're a lifelong fan or new to the series, Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is an easy recommendation.
For those who have fond memories of Shenmue I & II, these ports will allow you to revisit and experience why you fell in love with them.
Strange Brigade brought me the most laughs of any game I've played in a long time and really packs the fun to boot. The narrator's wit brings so much personality to a premise that we've seen before that it feels like an entirely new experience.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is a fun and satisfying addition to the Switch's ever-growing library of games.
For the most part, I was happy with this fighter and I really hope we see some additional post-release content added, such as more characters from Nicalis published titles.
Graveyard Keeper is an engaging and rewarding farming sim weighed down by pacing and performance issues.
After some major patches and fine-tuning, I could see HYPERGUN blossoming into a good, possibly even great game, but for now, it's just a failed simulation.
Would I recommend you buy Little Dragons Café for a child at its current price point? Absolutely not. There is plenty of content and it's a decent game, but there are a lot of other games that are on-par with this one that are selling for less than half the price. Until the price comes down, I can't in good conscience recommend that you buy it, and that's a shame.
