In the end, despite all of the extra customization, RPG elements and other details, Bus Simulator 18 still gets to be boring after a few hours.
Having played Supercross, there was a major sense of deja vu with this game. To be honest, once I was racing it was impossible to tell which game I was playing. No doubt, zealots of these games would know instantly by location, driver, and bikes. For me, it was more of the same and so my initial excitement level was much lower when I started racing with MXGP Pro.
Even with all its flaws, Seeking Dawn is definitely deserving of your attention.
Overall, the entire story felt a bit hollow. I had no reason to connect to anything in the game. Nothing in the story was explored in depth. The hotel as a set-piece was wasted. The whole narrative was shallow. The game shows potential, but it is so incohesive and unimpressive that it flounders as a whole.
Whether you're new to the game or coming back for more, Sonic Mania Plus is worth your time and attention.
There's a lot of fun be had here, a great challenge for those looking for a new retro-style platformer like this to take on, but 20XX never truly finds that "retro" charm. Instead, it's a new idea pretending to be a retro experience, and the more astute players out there will be able to sniff it right out.
This is a perfect game for VR neophytes and children, as well as those that like puzzle/3D platforming style of games.
Shining Resonance Refrain plays like a pretty standard yet extremely solid JRPG. Despite the slow beginning, the story is interesting and extremely well thought out. The characters are likable and the graphics are beautiful. And it has a good combat system that's easy to pick up and yet varied enough to keep the player's attention along with a whole new added story with Refrain mode.
Truth be told, I had a great time with Gray Dawn.
Overall, Dream Alone brims with potential but falls slightly short in multiple areas.
The technical shortcomings do have me hesitant to recommend this over the other versions if you have the means to play them, but if the Switch is the only console you have, you'll still get your money's worth, without a doubt.
If you love a great story told with devastating style, you need to play through Nier Automata several times.
INSIDE is still a deeply thought-provoking experience with a mystery that begs to be explored and is faithfully ported to the Switch.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is jam-packed with three iconic games and will undoubtedly appeal to gamers who played the original games when they were first released.
While Prey was a solid title, Mooncrash is a quality portion of the game that is comparable to the main game.
One can hope that future expansions are so creative, and continue to allow players to create their own world to fill with their own little slices of suburbia.
Figment is a beautifully made puzzle-adventure action game that sits among the finest indie games on Switch.
Maybe sometime next year The Crew 2 will start to feel like the sequel we all deserve, but as it stands right now, it certainly doesn't.
At this point, The United Front DLC illustrates exactly what Sledgehammer needs to work on, while highlighting exactly what makes Call of Duty so damn popular as a franchise.
If you want to make a visual novel with a heavy emphasis on music that's also a rhythm game, you had better be ready to make something really truly special to make it work—Lost in Harmony: The Musical Odyssey is not.
