Agent 64: Spies Never Die is an impressive retro shooter with lots of updated touches from the visuals, to the music, level design, and gameplay. It'll be a great time for anyone who grew up playing late 90's shooters.
Most of what Halo: Campaign Evolved does on a technical level is refine, not replace. And while the core gameplay is great, most of that already existed back in 2001.
Moss: The Forgotten Relic does a great job bringing two wonderful adventures to more players. It has a beautiful world and story with puzzles and action that are always rewarding.
Dark Scrolls is a confusing retro-inspired game. It has some wild fun ideas and good hero variety that's held back by strange design choices that limit rewards and make the game feel incomplete.
Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen is filled with the same charm you'd expect from its source material while providing a great jumping off point for less experienced players.
Rune Dice brings something fresh to the roguelike table with satisfying gameplay mechanics and a wide variety of dice and heroes to master.
Mina the Hollower proves that time, effort, and attention to detail go a long way. Mina is a great new hero who controls incredibly well in a difficult but rewarding 2D adventure.
Its over-the-top approach to almost everything it offers you can feel overwhelming, but there's no denying just how fun it is to play! Dashing through stages that last mere moments is such a blast that I had a hard time putting down my Switch. It's a breath of fresh air to play a game that has something to say, but presents it in a style that we almost never see or hear anymore. Mullet MadJack is a wild ride and one that almost every FPS fan should play.
Planet of Lana 2 is a gorgeous sequel that does all the right things with its puzzles and story, building a rich history with complex layers and characters.
Scott Pilgrim EX is a wild ride that’s taking a new approach to how we play through beat ’em ups. The roster of fighters stands out as one of the best in recent memory and provides a ton of great variety, while the wild and wacky depiction of Toronto and alternate dimensions looks fantastic!
