    If you liked the previous Atari Recharged titles, Yars: Recharged presents another enjoyable diversion and interesting take on the theme. While not always as thrilling as it could be, the design overhaul still works well. That said, those who aren’t entirely intrigued by the formula may find it repetitive and ultimately tiresome. This reimagined Atari catalogue would probably be better off as a compilation title rather than a segmented anthology. And who knows, that may still eventually come to pass.

This simple menu option would keep me playing, but only being able to fire by holding the right joycon stick in the direction of your enemy not only is very uncomfortable, but it also tempts the joycon drift gods. Since the direction of the stick isn't a button, you can't map it in the Switch settings themselves either. Due to this I had to uninstall and I consider it a waste of money. Hope one day they fix this mistake, but until then it's a 5 out of 10. Full Review »
