    Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted isn’t breaking the mould in gameplay options, and it isn’t flawless, but I have still been glued to my controller since I got it. There is tons to do, the game looks great, and it's the perfect game for families.

    Samurai Warriors 4-II isn’t a horrible game by any means, but the game just doesn’t quite entice the gamers of today to venture through its trials.

    A passable port for a videogame that is best played elsewhere.

    Rusty Rabbit has some interesting ideas, but they’re buried under tedious and somewhat undercooked gameplay.

    With very few options for variety, NASCAR 25 Just doesn’t offer enough in terms of depth.

    The Crush House exceeded all my expectations, creating an experience that was enjoyable, engaging and incredibly reflective.

    While not the most challenging puzzle game, ANOTHER Code: Recollection is an engaging enough experience for anyone interested in this unique Nintendo time capsule.

    Earthlock is a good game, locked behind a lack of polish.

    Sonic Superstars successfully brings classic Sonic into the 3D era while stumbling slightly in its inclusion of a tacked-on multiplayer experience.

    Between Romancing SaGa 3 and two more English SaGa games on the horizon, it’s a good time to be a devotee of this oddball RPG series. Let me hear your rallying cry, SaGa fans: “There are dozens of us! Dozens!”

    Yooka-Laylee is both a joyful ode to Rare’s heyday and a polished platformer that stands head and shoulders above what few contemporaries exist in the genre.

    Marvel's Iron Man VR is a decent game, but one that will only likely appeal to a younger audience or die-hard fans of the property.

    Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot focuses more on pleasing hardcore fans with a beautiful nostalgia reel than trying to be an RPG with substance.

    Rage 2 takes Doom-like gunplay and puts in just another dull open world game that doesn’t do anything particularly memorable.

    If you’re hankering for a million ways to die in the west, I’d say this is worth a look.

    Battlecast feels like the card-game equivalent of two kids smashing Skylander figurines together until one of them is declared the winner.

    Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl show that not all remakes are worth playing if you have the originals on hand.

    JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R is a solid port of a great licensed game that goes beyond a simple remaster and should not be missed if you're a fan of the long-running franchise.

    The Flame in the Flood squanders a novel idea and fantastic aesthetic with mind-numbing repetition and a broken sense of progression.

    A few bizarre twists and noted historical mutations left me equally confused and intrigued.

    Last Year: The Nightmare is an admirable take on the asymmetrical survival horror genre, and despite not doing too many things outside of the box, the stellar presentation and level of detail throughout helps the game survive long enough to warrant the price of entry for fans of the genre.

    Muse Dash offers enough quality content to keep rhythm game fans busy for a long time.

    Temtem shakes up the Pokémon formula in several ways, yet is held back by poor pacing and a world that needs more things to discover and do.

    Mario Strikers: Battle League is a return to form for the series, and an excellent entry in Mario Sports. A title very easy to recommend for any Switch owner looking for a change of pace.

    Yono and the Celestial Elephants is an adorable Zelda-like about a woke elephant doing his best to help people, zombies, and robots co-exist.

    Garden Story is a wonderful and unique take on the sim-adventure genre, and it’s definitely worth a look.

    Wayfinder is a fun, fast-paced action RPG with some great world-building and excellent progression systems. While there are still some rough areas to sand down, Wayfinder manages to offer an incredibly engaging experience that can be shared with a friend.

    At worst, it’s a cautionary tale about getting too much money and getting too ambitious with that money. At best, it’s a solid adventure title with wonderful visuals and great characters mixed in with a few bad puzzles and story issues.

    Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain brings a unique solo experience while still remaining fun for the whole family. I found some controls frustrating, but it's a great game to wind down with.

    Crisol: Theatre of Idols is a good, but flawed, and often tense horror experience that’s absolutely worth stepping into.
