Asha in Monster World is a very faithful remake of the 1994 Genesis classic that is infused with charm and personality in both its gameplay and visuals. However; much like the original, it is a rather short affair that could have benefitted from adding more to its offerings.
Knockout City
Knockout City is a fast-paced 3v3 game of dodge ball on rooftops, in sewers, and out in traffic where the action rarely lets up. It’s hard to say the shelf life this game will have going for it, but given the community building around it, it’s likely to at least...
Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance is still the fantastical hack and slash romp it was 20 years ago, despite some drastically dated mechanics and visuals. It certainly has its issues, even as a simple 4K re-release, but joined up with a friend in its local co-op mode certainly aids in pushing...
Resident Evil Village
Village was exactly what I had hoped this entry would have entailed; the continued use of first-person, with more action-orientated encounters, and a cast of villains that consistently kept my interest, even if a few of them were vastly underused.
Nier: Automata’s road to what it became started here. The enhancements made to Replicant put it nearly in the same league as its sequel, whereas the original was a far cry from Automata’s greatness. The characters, the story, soundtrack, and enhanced combat give Replicant the much-needed push to hav
Cozy Grove
Cozy Grove’s hand-drawn aesthetic is incredibly well suited to the tone and charm the game exudes. While you’ll have a few graphical oddities of pieces overlapping over one another, developer Spry Fox has crafted a visually stunning and charming experience in Cozy Grove.

Monster Hunter Rise
While it lacks the greater detail and openness of Monster Hunter World, Rise never feels visually disappointing, and despite the weaker hardware contained within the Switch, it runs and performs beautifully.
Part of the appeal of Monster Trucks are in their larger-than-life nature, seeing them climb over cars, crushing them into heaps of scrap metal, or seeing the insane tricks their drivers are able to pull off in these clunky yet weighty titans. Sadly, that appeal just isn’t anywhere here in...
Azur Lane: Crosswave
While the artwork and visual novel approach can often work, the combat that is applied here is over before the missions even have a chance at being fun. As it stands, there isn’t a good enough game here to warrant the price, and you’re better off just sticking with the...
Persona 5 Strikers
Persona 5 Strikers is absolutely incredible and while it does suffer a bit on the Switch, due to its hardware limitations, I still had an absolute blast visiting with Joker and the rest of the Phantom Thieves.
