A unique direction for the Digimon franchise comes with growing pains and flashes of greatness in equal measure.
Nintendo Switch Sports is a great way to satisfy any urge to play motion control games. Unfortunately, it doesn't make any effort at being more than that.
Conan Chop Chop is the video game equivalent of running in place. For every fun inclusion, there is another aspect that feels left behind.
Headland is a functional experience, but it lacks enough clever ideas or impact to make a lasting impression.
Grow: Song of the Evertree is three different games crammed into the same one. Its mechanics clash too frequently for Grow to stand out despite some bright spots.
I’m impressed by how much thought was put into Tails of Iron and how that shines through while playing the game. Nearly every new screen I entered contained another small inclusion to admire. In my final attack on Frog Village, I found farmer frogs tending to their fields in between...

The Nintendo Switch version of Apex Legends is the most disappointed I’ve ever been in a port. I was so excited to play it. Playing a lower resolution, lower frame rate version of the game was something I would have been fine with. It isn’t just a lower resolution and...
My first few hours with Anodyne 2: Return to Dust had me ready to write it off as middling. I could see the hook, and, overall, I thought it was fine. The writing and music were great. Each story-important character came with a vignette that taught me things about them...
