Drag x Drive
I hope this doesn’t end up being the Switch 2’s best use of the JoyCon mice. I’m hopeful that FPS games may feel better in that regard, but for now, Drag x Drive feels largely like a pass, unless you’re super into these sorts of motion control games, or appreciate...
After finishing Mafia: TOC, I will remember it fondly as a solid solo game experience, and I wish that we could have more games of the same ilk. It doesn’t waste any time with open-world bloat, it tells a compelling story, and gives you the option of being a completionist...
There’s the foundation for greatness here, with an incredibly cute art style, gorgeous world, and compelling characters I genuinely want to know more about, but Tales of the Shire just doesn’t deliver. If you’re looking for a super relaxing and cozy experience, you’ll have a fine time with this one,...
Both are gems and the best Mario Party. So, pick which version you wish. After all, if you get the Switch 1 version, you can still always upgrade in the future for a small fee. So you have nothing to lose.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
There’s a solid game somewhere inside WUCHANG, but it falls short of greatness in several areas, including the fact that this genre is really starting to feel a bit tedious and saturated in 2025. But if you’re craving some of that early early 2010s punishment era Soulslike feeling, this game...
Nintendo hit it out of the park with this one, and I believe that any Switch 2 owner should get this game. You won’t regret it, I assure you. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have one more Banana to find to increase my strength and hours of gameplay to...
Overall, the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 pair of remakes does a lot of good stuff, opening up the world of skating, expanded and improved, to a brand-new audience. Whether you were born yesterday or have been a THPS veteran for decades, you’ll surely find something in this...
PATAPON 1+2 REPLAY is a stellar remastered bundle that exceeded my expectations. While it’s not the type of game I’d typically gravitate toward, I now fully appreciate its unique appeal. It’s one of those games everyone should try just to experience its truly one-of-a-kind gameplay. I’m sure it’ll stick with...
The game’s score accentuates these moments, composed once again by the talented Ludvig Forssell, utilizing the ultra-heartbreaking “BB’s Theme” from the original game at its most crucial points to drive me to tears. It helps to evoke some deeply personal feelings and emotions that not many other games have been...
Ruffy and the Riverside has the pieces in hand, with an appealing artistic style and unique swapping mechanics paving the way for an in-depth puzzle game series. Although I didn’t find its story or enemies particularly interesting, everything else about the title felt refreshing and fun, leaving me feeling hopeful...
FBC: Firebreak
I’m sure fans of Control will get even more enjoyment out of this game, as it’s set within that universe and features its characters and enemies. Unfortunately, that one’s been in my backlog for years, so I have little connection to the franchise. But the good news is, I still...
Gex Trilogy
Regardless of your age, this could be right up your alley if you love retro games, specifically platformers. Buyer beware, though: The ‘90s jank is still very much present in Gex Trilogy. If you can look past the original gameplay flaws and potentially dated humor, you’re in for a good...
