The challenge to map the complex controls for this engaging and vast galaxy conquest was enormous. And although it is not as comfortable as it is on PC it still delivers an entertaining experience.

You can feel that it was destined to become something great. And you sense that this actually might become a really good game. Right now, though, it is not much more than a game with potential and a lot of work to do to get there.

This is only a small puzzle adventure from Norway, but if you’re looking for a decent co-op-experience this might be it.

It could be improved in terms of content, but no other rally sim gives you driving physics as sophisticated, challenging and simply great as Dirt Rally 2.0!

The foundation sounds promising, but storytelling as well as puzzle mechanics lack suspense, challenge and dynamics.

The visuals and fighting system are worth the admission fee, but story, presentation and AI leave a lot of room for much needed improvement.

Visually pleasing and at its core a very decent co-op platform-action it lacks finishing touches.

In theory I like this game better than Far Cry 5 and I enjoy it more than Metro Exodus. But why Ubisoft decided and went for micro transactions that can impact the balance (optionally of course) is beyond me.

This tower defense is as content-rich as it is conservative in terms of mechanics, with added technical flaws in the Switch version.

For a quick game this “Blockbattle Royale” is good choice, but after that it becomes too tedious too soon.

Quotation forthcoming.

In its best moments it feels a little like Alien Isolation. Unfortunately those moments are hard to come by and not nearly enough.

Crackdown 3 is an entertaining urban open world. Especially if you conveniently forgot all the progress that Volition made in the last ten years with Saints Row or Agents of Mayhem.

The quality of this Russian odyssey is as inconsistent and varied as its climatic zones. But despite all its flaws and weak AI it still manages to create a solid post-apocalyptic action experience.

Well executed remake of a classic with all the weaknesses and strengths still intact, including on of the best storylines in the franchise history.

The concept is interesting without a doubt. Unfortunately the integrated mechanics fail to match the concept, the idealistic foundation or the conflict dynamics portrayed.

Charming turn based tactics mixing Advance Wars with Fire Emblem, offering a great campaign and exemplary multiplayer comfort including crossplay.

In the beginning you experience a lot of fun and a decent amount of arcady excitement. But rather sooner than later you discover that all the elements seem hastily connected, thus giving the impression of a disharmonic gaming experience.

It cannot topple Monster Hunter World from the top of the food chain, but if you like your monster hunting and gathering with a hefty dose of post-apocalyptic atmosphere, this definitely is for you.

Respawn gives you the most polished Battle Royale experience yet, even though for now it lacks variety in the long run.

There are slight improvements but (like its predecessor) this is still stuck in the mud of mediocracy.

Observer is a quirky cyperpunk thriller filled with mind games. Unfortunately they lose their impact too quickly.

Even if the One version didn’t get any enhancements or improvements: This is not only a loving homage to, but still the best direct interpretation of the Souls games as a 2D platformer.

The tactical space battles are great, but deserve more variety as well as a better campaign design.

If you like well written stories and an atmospheric world, the follow-up to Sunless Seas might just be the game you want.

Solid, but in the end quite mediocre turn based tactics that hasn’t been optimized for Switch.

At first I thought this just another twinstick shooter. But this is much more than meets the eye. The world of H.P. Lovecraft was put in a pleasing pixel design while mechanically it manages to challenge you from top to bottom.

The mixture of resource management, ship-builder and shooter is conceptually quite interesting, but especially the planetary missions don’t live up to the potential.

This is pure fan service - nothing more. The show is better and more entertaining than the accompanying game.

This puzzle concept works best on a big roomscale stage.

With the forced ommisions in the Western markets, this game is in the limelight for all the wrong reasons. But if you think that the art of long lost boob bouncing, a merely solid battle system and superficial “my boobs are smaller than yours” dialogue is game of the year material, than this might be something for you.

Xbox luchadores might have had to wait a little longer, but it was worth it. This was and is one of the prime action platformers in recent years.

Explosive, lightning fast, challenging: Ace Combat 7 is back with a vengeance and an immersive yet much-too-short VR experience.

There wasn’t much effort put into these upgrades. Especially with Blood Money the age is clearly visible in almost every aspect.

The mechanical core stood the test of time, unlike the visuals. I am still waiting for Onimusha to get a decent sequel or the Resident Evil 2 treatment.

The concept is interesting, but the focus on collecting and crafting becomes monotonous too quickly, while the fights are a little rough around the edges.

As brilliant as ever. A great anime RPG that age extremely well, while being enhanced with more facets.

The beautiful platform exploration of Wonder Boy transcends into the present with Wonder Boy adding clever puzzle elements.

The island adventure leads you on an interesting treasure hunt but lacks the polish of the main game.

The battles are decent, but with the focus on wrong priorities, lack of character development and a few other problems this is little more than a mess with quite some potential.

Quite short and remarkably unspectacular postapocalyptic dungeon crawler.

An impressive modern interpretation of the survival horror classic, showing that after Resident Evil 7, this is the horror franchise to beat. This is the new gold standard for remakes.

Visually mostly breathtaking, the journey of Sora and his fight against the heartless ends after almost 20 years in a thoroughly entertaining way. Kudos to Nomura-San for actually finishing up all loose ends collected through the franchise history.

Interesting, but technically unsound fantasy adventure emulating J-RPGs of the PlayStation era.

This is kinda like Bomberman with weapon and stealth - plus a hefty amount of chaos.

A good twinstick shooter. Accompanied by cool electro-beats creates a martial flow, but in the long run you'll miss greater variety.

While the basic Harvest Moon concept is fundamentally outdated by now the focus on construction and exploration enhances the experience tremendously.

The ambitious theme as well as the though research are commendable. It just doesn’t come together as a game.

I am really happy that Suda 51 and his excentric style of gamedesign are back. But you cannot help but notice the “ring rust”. A decent effort, but not quite at the level of Lollipop Chainsaw and other Suda-masterpieces.

It reminds you of Ico or Journey, but this exploration adventure doesn’t reach the depth you’re hoping for and disappoints on a technical level.

Albeit improved, this masked martial arts adventure still is too short and too barebones.

The mixture of dialogue adventure, mystery thriller and challenging puzzler didn’t lose a beat. Seven years after its console premiere this still is a captivating experience.

Don’t be fooled: This is (as it always was) a challenging old school platformer. The simple design feels a bit outdated by now, though.

Well executed tactical battles oozing loads of Warhammer atmosphere. It lacks variety though, while the presentation also could be optimized.

Tense souls-like with a polarizing artdesign and technical flaws that stop it in its tracks.

A tense as well as challenging online shooter that manages to strike a balance between simulation and fast paced action.

The beloved qualities of Borderlands 2 are still there, but the fun suffers from an unoptimized VR experience.

An already sub-par racing game is even worse on Switch. The whole experience suffers from technical limitations of the hardware.

The audiovisual design is as unique as it is special, but the mechanics are unnerving, frustrating and suffer from repitition.

A beautifully designed platform adventure with quite a few surprises and good ideas, making this a playable artwork that will not leave you untouched.

A fascinating survival adventure in a wonderfully weird underwater world.

Interesting take on classic adventures adding a dose of roleplaying aspects to a captivating mystery story and a varied dialogue system.

If you are interested in the dancing adventure of the Persona crews, get the collection. Not only is it cheaper, it is also the only chance for you to play the still superior Persona 4 Dancing on PS4.

Pathfinder has some flaws, but nonetheless delivers a tremendous amount of entertainment for fans of pen & paper fantasy.

The franchise essence is still there and responsible for a lot of over the top explosive action that you love or hate about the series. But the enormous hardware requirements of the Apex engine make this a tough cookie to chew on - even more so on consoles.

Enjoyable point & click adventure with a touch of mystery, a very unique visual design and entertaining, yet sometimes incoherent puzzles.

A nice collection of classics that will take you to an era where the fight between Nintendo and Sega was at its peak.

A great artdesign and a good direction make this a very special horror experience. But you have to get over some mechanical flaws.

There are certain detail flaws in some areas, but Fury’s entry into the Darksiders universe is thoroughly entertaining as well as challenging.

Nothing particularly outstanding about this “fun”-racer, except its lackluster content.

The first expansion focuses on the wrong elements and doesn’t deliver enough content.

The concept still is promising but technical shortcomings harm this port of a theoretically thrilling future racer.

If you play locally or solo this is one of the best and content richest Switch games out there. Just don’t expect to get too much fun out of the laggy online modes - yet.

Tense battle for survival that suffers from technical shortcomings compared to the PC version.

A tense tactical adventure in an absolutely convincing world that can’t keep the pace it is initially setting.

Make no mistake: This is still better than Rebirth. Having said that, Foundation not only is flawed in so many areas, but also is light years away from the series former glory and definitely not a game to shorten the waiting time for Star Citizen...

A nice mixture of classic platforming and puzzles set in an interesting VR world.

The fourth (!) racing game from Milestone this year is undoubtedly their best. But that still isn’t enough to make it an enjoyable experience throughout.

A decent port of the global turn based strategy that will entertain you for weeks.

Music and sweaty lightsaber choreographies merge into an impressive VR experience that unfortunately lacks content and song-import for your favorite music.

Steel Rats tries to combine so many seemingly incompatible elements both aesthetically and mechanically, that it actually shouldn’t work. But surprisingly, it does, and aside from the overleaden controls you’ll start to enjoy most of the elements that Tate Interactive integrated.

While overall this is a decent collection of the “logistics strategy” franchise with solidly modernized ports, the magic has diminished over the years.

Silly, yet extremely entertaining two-dimensional real-time tactics spectacle.

Conceptually this is an interesting remembrance artwork for the first World War. The challenge level is low though and there is a lack of ruthlessness. Entertaining nonetheless.

Entertaining journey into the slightly “different” Final Fantasy world Gryimore, filled with Pokémon’esque creature collecting as well as challenging active time battle fights.

While mechanically you can sense the age of the originals, visually the original PSone trilogy was superbly modernized. A great addition for any action adventure fan.

Two charming but old-fashioned survival horrors with more trial & error than suspense.

While it is easy to lose yourself in the intense multiplayer skirmishes, the solo campaign is merely solid.

Even if all the systems would work, this would be a mediocre and shallow Fallout experience. With all the bugs, inconsistencies and technical problems this is little more than a post-apocalyptic mess.

Quotation forthcoming.

Really, I’ve had it with the premature release of unfinished projects and their bugs. But even when everything works, this is a rather mediocre fantasy adventure that vainly tries to recapture the fascination of an Ultima Underworld.

It is loud. It is silly. It is wonderfully weird. The mixture of frantic action and skate acrobatics still delivers a very unique arcade action experience.

I cannot tell you how often Tetris has been published. But what I can tell you is that as simple yet motivating puzzle concept it still stands the test of time - and still looks pretty good.

Gamefreak managed to enhance the nostalgia of past games with creative improvements. Regardless if you are a veteran or a beginner, there are loads of incentives to catch em all.
