    If you loved the games back in the ‘90s, you may enjoy reliving your youth, but for everyone else, there are plenty of other more modern games worth your time and attention.

    Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX is a disappointing package made worse by its presence on the Switch. The main gimmick has lost all its wonder and both games feel like the exact same experience, roughly slapped together by uninteresting and sparse gameplay.

You just feel so pumped when you have a time limit to grow your monster and getting so attached to it, hoping they become the best fighter they can be. I already missed them so much this game made me cry. Full Review »
