Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is not a direct continuation of Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power in any major way, and that ultimately worked to the game's benefit. Now that the series has returned to its roots and found the spark that made the originals games great, one can...
As die-hard Contra fans have probably already picked up or sworn off Contra: Rogue Corps, the only people I could see this game being good for now are die-hard groups of twin-stick shooter fans who want to play online and aren't playing on Nintendo Switch. That's quite niche to say...
The Surge 2
Though those problems can make parts of this sequel annoying, The Surge 2 is still a fun improvement over the original that will win more people over with its tight and well-designed environments and combat. The Surge series remains the uncontested champion of sci-fi Soulslikes, and The Surge 2 establishes...
GreedFall
GreedFall is Spiders' best game yet, but that does not mean it is perfect. From a gameplay standpoint, players will not get anything out of this game that they can't get in a more polished state in the Dragon Age series or The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, making GreedFall...
Interesting genre mashups like this don't come along often, probably because they aren't always for everyone, but the only way the industry will find cool new genre mixes or avenues to explore is with unique titles like this. If this particular quirky mix of a cooperative shooter and Soulslike set...
Erica
Though Erica's illusion of choice may sully the experience on repeat playthroughs, the game still stands as the best FMV game available on consoles. Its high-end TV show production values and acting allow it to stand out in a genre muddied by low-budget attempts by game developers turned amateur filmmakers....
Even with the Nintendo Switch's hybrid console capabilities being perfect for titles based around doing multiple short runs like this, The Church in the Darkness is marred by several technical shortcomings that draw players out of the experience and kill the pacing. Once the narrative's charm begins to wear off...
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 for the Nintendo Switch serves up an original story tasking you to create your dream team of superheroes, including new additions The Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, and more, as they face off against Thanos and The Black Order.
Even with these issues that weakened the game as it went on, Lapis x Labyrinth was still able to maintain an addicting grip on me. While some might point to the game's flashiness as being what drew me in again and again, I'd say it was the fun RPG gameplay...
I have never been as pleased with a game of this score before as I am here. While Bubsy: Paws on Fire! isn't anything outstanding in the grand scheme of things, when looking at it in terms of the whole Bubsy series, Paws on Fire stands as the best entry...
Mechstermination Force
If you are looking for another run 'n gun boss rush game for Nintendo Switch, Mechstermination Force is definitely a great option and cements Hörberg Productions as one of the most consistently great Nindie developers. As the indie scene on Nintendo Switch gets more and more crowded, it is important to know...
Dangerous Driving's scope may have been a bit too big to be made by such a small team in a short amount of time, leading to a racing game that does feel janky and unpolished in some areas. On the other hand, the variety of modes, car unlocking system, and...
