    Thanks to numerous modern conveniences and relatively easy and linear puzzle designs, Heaven’s Hope is an enjoyable, light-hearted adventure. Characters are funny, puzzles are satisfying, and the world is fun to explore.

    Atelier Lydie and Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings succeeds in important ways, but a lack of polish really takes away from an otherwise great experience.

    Ys: Memories of Celceta is a good port on the PC, but weak visuals and a forgettable story hold it back.

    Boyfriend Dungeon is an enjoyable dating game with some great dialogue, but unfortunately there’s more action off-screen than there is on screen.

    Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a good continuation adaptation of the anime. While it doesn’t do much to set itself apart from the first game, the almost quality-of-life changes make it feel like a justified experience.

    I expected a lot more from this title and it definitely disappointed.

    Castlevania Requiem lets players get their hands on two excellent games, so even though it offers little else, it is still a worthwhile purchase.

    Puyo Puyo Champions is a near perfect for hardcore puzzle game enthusiasts, but casuals may want to start elsewhere.

    A tedious, time-consuming playing card mechanic, frustrating bug crashes and a repetitive, near-endless onslaught of Ridden enemies led by an uninspired AI Director, collectively drags this spiritual sequel to Left 4 Dead down from the heights it could have reached.

    Whether it's free running run one side of a map to the other, traversing great heights or simply making a zombies head explode with a baseball bat, Light offers you plenty of diversity to keep the game interesting.

    Where Winds Meet applies the action and charm of the Wuxia-style to a massive ARPG experience that’s easy to get sucking into.

    Scott Pilgrim EX takes the beloved franchise into new pixelated heights, offering fans of the 2010 original a worthy sequel to jump into, Mario-style.

    While indisputably overflowing with cartoonish charm, the more tedious aspects of The Swords of Ditto's design prevented me from fully engaging with everything it has to offer.

    On Your Tail tells an interesting story by engaging the player in a simple life sim with intriguing crime-solving elements.

    Multiple design decisions were seemingly made to extend the already shallow playtime, the campaign isn’t all that interesting, the multiplayer is one of the worst in the rhythm genre, and worst of all the music is dull.

    Soul Hackers 2 is a worthy successor of the 1997 game, modernizing the series and putting it closer to games like Persona 5 and SMTV.

    Wuchang: Fallen Feathers had such interesting promise, only to lose itself to building a game on frustration rather than learning and fun.

    Luigi’s Mansion remains the classic it always was, but it’s little more than 3DS life-support.

    Princess Peach: Showtime! is an easy-to-understand, incredibly fun-to-play game with a style and charm that is sure to delight.

    ROMEO IS A DEAD MAN combines so many of the things that make Suda 51’s games so beloved and makes something fresh and insanely fun with them.

    I’d say Hollowbody was disappointing but everything it gets wrong about the horror genre is so common it's practically expected at this point.

    If you want a game that feels wholly original and recreates what it used to feel like to get a new SNES game, then Wild Guns Reloaded is the game for you. It's stupid, it's fun, and it makes me yearn for the days when video games weren't so serious all the time.

    Interesting combat mechanics and a decent story headline Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior, and finding new ways to tackle each encounter keeps me coming back.

    This is the best game based on the popular anime series Attack on Titan, but with repetitive combat, it gets dull fast.

    A Walk in the Park is a solid expansion to an underrated game that features a fantastic setting and some creative enemies.

    One Step From Eden clearly wants remind players of the long forgotten Mega Man Battle Network games, but it is absolutely more than some petty imitation. This is a thoughtful and strategic deck-building action game that is looking to make you scream in frustration and come back for more.

    With lacklustre gameplay, and an uninteresting world, The Cub ends up feeling like a cheap knock-off of the games that clearly inspired it.

    Slime Heroes is a decent enough “Babies First Dark Souls” but fails to do anything interesting with the core concept of being a Slime.

    While I can’t say Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville is a bad game, it might not be a very good Switch game.

    If you're really big into top-down shooters give Neon Chrome a shot, otherwise maybe wait for some local couch warriors to help out before diving in.
