    The Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection drags some of the best Game Boy Advance titles available and repackages them for the Nintendo Switch in a must-own fashion. An easy recommendation for almost anyone.

    Moto GP 24 caters to an audience of motorcycle enthusiasts and not much else, a game that can be skipped for people not into motorbikes.

    Tiny Barbarian DX may look like just another indie platformer on the surface, but it is so much more than that.

    While not quite a homerun, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is a fun, tactical space combat experience with some nice story to boot.

    Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble maintains the series’ iconic arcade fun while bringing fresh new elements to enhance the game like never before.

    “Faith” continues Life is Strange 2’s examination of a broken system to showcase a series at its most powerful.

    Bridge Constructor Portal takes some of the best snark from the Portal series and shoves it into a clever little construction game.

    While the classic Amnesia gameplay is available here in a lot of ways, it’s mixed with some underwhelming, poorly balanced monster gameplay that doesn’t work as well as it should.

    Though not perfect, what the Nintendo Labo does and what it has the potential to do outshines its minor flaws as a product.

    Mario & Luigi: Brothership is like a perfect representation of the Bros themselves: even though one might trip up here and there, everything works so well together that it makes it an unforgettable experience.

    Hell is Empty feels like a superficial way to cap its story off, as it chooses an easy ending to Rachel and Chloe’s relationship rather than exploring its darker conclusion.

    Donkey Kong Country Returns HD brings everything good from both the Wii and 3DS versions of the title to the Nintendo Switch, including the extra levels included in the 3DS version.

    Street Fighter V employs complex and engaging mechanics, but it lacks enough content to keep the casual player interested.

    World of Warships: Blitz is a mobile port that feels like a game made specifically with mobile in mind. It's one of the best looking and sounding games out there, and its tons of fun to boot.

    Ufouria: The Saga 2 is one of the most immediately charming and consistently interesting exploration games I’ve ever played.

    Shu
    A little platformer that offers new mechanics in a graduated, character-centric fashion.

    Dying Light 2: Stay Human promises much more of the franchise’s now familiar first-person, parkour-combat action, weapon crafting mechanics that continue to border on the ridiculous, and open-world exploration and loot-hunting we’ve become accustomed to.

    Turnip Boy Robs A Bank is a charmingly ridiculous roguelite that packs a lot of humor and gunplay in its short length.

    City Tales - Medieval Era offers a fresh new take on the genre, but might lean a bit more cozy than challenging.

    While it may feel like a step back from Luigi’s Mansion 3, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD is an excellent glow-up of an excellent 3DS game.

    A fun experience. It didn’t quite recapture the old feel of Morrowind, nor did I expect it to. Nostalgic imaginings never quite get it right, relying on the hype of previous entries. It was, however, a good-faith effort with a strong focus.

    Whispers of a Machine is a puzzling enigma, a fascinating story, and a bit of an ugly beast, but well worth your time.

    Dragon Quest Heroes feels like a simple distraction, but it actually has quite a bit of depth.

    Stellaris: Console Edition has a long way to go to catch up to the PC version, but its intuitive controls make it a compelling strategy game on consoles nonetheless.

    Like actual Humankind, the game, Humankind is an ambitious, large, complex and sometimes difficult to understand experience that gets better with time and only expands the possibilities of what comes next.

    On PS4, Kerbal Space Program is a lazy shoehorning of the PC title onto a console with next to no regard as to how it should look, play or control on that platform.

    The Royal Pack is a well-realized bundle of miscellany that refines the core Final Fantasy XV experience while reminding us that it's still an incomplete game sixteen months after launch.

    Indivisible is a fantastic RPG hybrid brought to life through beautiful hand animation, a captivating score and an insanely addictive combat system.

    EA Sports FC 26 is a fine entry to the annual football title from EA, featuring responsive gameplay and in-depth menus, but it’s not necessarily enough to make everyone happy.

    While Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream offers a lot of the same fun and quirkiness as its predecessor, its commitment to player creativity also sacrifices a lot of what made the 3DS game great.
