Still, with the improved (and approachable) combat system, semi-amusing story, and diverse side activities, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is a great game that can be recommended to almost anyone that has a Nintendo Switch. We wouldn't say it's the reason to go out and buy a Switch, but it's one of the best ways to get into a turn-based strategy game that has much more content to offer than its predecessor ever did.
Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin doesn't shake the genre up or do anything incredibly unique, but it's a massive JRPG with lots to do. It's a solid entry for the sub-series and is recommended for those looking for a charming title on the Switch that doesn't require much thinking or undivided attention. It's a casual game for the most part, but the back half does provide some epic story moments that are satisfying and worth watching.
Even though the difficulty isn't what die-hard fans might be looking for, there's no denying that Monster Hunter Rise is the most accessible title in the series to date. Its systems and mechanics will be confusing for brand-new players at first, but once they really get into it and learn what everything is about, players can look forward to a thrilling and exciting hunting experience with so much content to offer. And with free title updates coming soon from Capcom, there will be even more quests to partake in and monsters to hunt. This isn't the ultimate package that World and Iceborne was, but the compact nature of Monster Hunter Rise feels perfect on the Switch and will definitely serve as a blueprint for future entries.
Cyber Shadow is an indie title that will be remembered for quite some time and only adds to Yacht Club Games' growing library of retro-inspired classics. Any fan of Metroid, Mega Man, Ninja Gaiden, Contra, and even The Messenger should have this game in their sights. It's an astonishing, action-packed ninja adventure that should not be missed out on.
Bugsnax is an odd and wacky experience that'll be remembered as the black swan of the PS5 launch lineup, in the best way possible. It highlights PlayStation's commitment to having a diverse catalog of games at the PS5 launch, and with Bugsnax being free on PS Plus for PS5 players at launch, there's no reason not to try it if you're a subscriber.
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX is a retelling of two older titles that don't deserve to be remade in this manner. The dungeons are shallow, the presentation is lacking when you compare it to other Switch titles, but if you're looking for a relaxing dungeon-crawler with an interesting story, you might be comelled to try it out.
When Sayonara Wild Hearts was first announced last year atthe Game Awards, I was immediately drawn in by the anime-esque art style, dreamy visuals, and all of the neon colors.
When Monster Hunter: World first launched back in 2018, I (and most critics) applauded Capcom for turning their niche monster-slaying property into a more streamlined series, a title that the entire world finally cared about.
After being a PC exclusive for some time now, Phoenix Labs’ newest action-RPG, Dauntless, has made its way to consoles and, in a world that already has Monster Hunter: World, it seems to be a different take on the monster-hunting genre.
