Nevertheless, with Skylanders Imaginators for the Switch you get a vibrant, deep, and customizable experience with an endless supply of things to do.
The platforming can be a bit touchy, but for the most part you’ll be stuck on puzzles and not jumping sections aside from a few key moments.
In the Rhombus of Ruin is a masterclass of engaging mechanics and brilliant writing, and it’s got me excited for the future of Psychonauts.
1-2 Switch is a simple and bare bones affair.
It’s not just the best Zelda game yet, it’s quite possibly the best game Nintendo has ever produced.
The gameplay is exactly what one would expect from Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, as it offers up simplified, yet satisfying, fighting.
The frantic nature of the gameplay coupled with the appropriate difficulty of the game combine to deliver a fresh experience that is best suited for co-op play.

Hallways are outlined with hash symbols, doorways are represented with plus signs, crafting items are letters of the alphabet, and the dungeon map is a faithful top-down expression of a traditional rogue-like.
The physics engine in Ride 2 is one of the best I’ve seen in any game, racing or not.
Uncanny Valley has strong presentation and an interesting story to tell but it’s held back by bad execution and cumbersome controls.
Shadows of Adam delivers retro JRPG flavor without the bitter aftertaste of merciless grinding and pointless punishments.

Eventually I would love to see a timed mode added to this to make it even more challenging.
Horizon Zero Dawn is Guerrilla Games’ crowning achievement in video game development.
In a time where games rely on updates, patches, and DLC to become what the game should have been at launch, it was very refreshing to see Sniper Elite 4 release without any glaring weaknesses or issues.
