Event[0] feels a bit like getting HAL9000’d by BMO from Adventure Time.

Herdling is a captivating, albeit flawed experience that never has any low points, but never hits any genuine highs either.

Steel Series is a decent action-adventure game that feels like a long-lost video store rental that fans of the genre should appreciate despite its by-the-numbers design philosophy.

Tales of Symphonia Remastered is a solid, albeit dated trip down memory lane.

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.

The Bard’s Tale IV: Barrows Deep is a great game that is in severe need of polish and bug fixes.

Corpse Party 2: Dead Patient is a return to the sound, language, and character connections that made the original so compelling and disturbing.

For newcomers, this is the game to start with, but the franchise does still feel a little exclusive with the mountains of text you have to read to get a basic understanding of how the game works.

Despite a lack of scares, Static Dread: The Lighthouse combines an engaging gameplay hook with a compelling narrative to keep players invested right up to the end.

In Too Deep is yet another solid addition to Telltale’s growing portfolio.

The follow-up to Planet of Lana attempts to recapture lighting in a bottle by doubling down on its signature 2-D platforming and puzzle elements, but a handful of visual and gameplay inconsistencies make the experience considerably less enjoyable.

This is one of those games that could use a little more time in the oven.

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.

Fairy Tail is a decent RPG experience, designed almost exclusively with fans in mind.

Fans of these games when they came out, rejoice! You have them all in one place for one reasonable price. If the games are new to you, it’s perhaps something you don’t have to regret missing.

If you’re a fan of gory, pixelated, 2D shooters with a whole heaping of voice acting laced with swearing, then Not a Hero is easily recommendable.

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.

Monark is a game filled with great ideas and themes, and it manages to deliver on some of those in spades. Unfortunately, Monark is also its own worst enemy, and many of the gameplay elements simply get in the way of making it something truly exceptional. Still, if you can manage to get through the slog of repetitiveness, there’s a fascinating and thematically engaging story underneath.

KARMA: The Dark World tells a mildly interesting story, but it squanders a lot of good potential with simplistic gameplay and obvious symbolism.

Dead In Vinland tries to blend the best of multiple genres, but when combined those once worth-while features become a single idea that many times works, yet at others simply doesn’t.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is a good game that corrects many of the missteps found in Odyssey, offering a number of interesting improvements to the series’ formula.

Mega Mix offers a lot for Switch owners to enjoy, even if the title doesn’t live up to the standard the series has set for itself.

Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is messy, bizarre, and ultimately exactly what it needs to be: A great sequel to a cult classic.

Star Ocean: The Divine Force is a solid JRPG that straddles two worlds in more ways than one, resulting in a worthwhile yet middling adventure with decent replay potential.

Resident Evil 4 remains in a league of its own, but this port dampens the enjoyment with an unwelcome jump in resolution and some odd control issues.

So is it worthwhile? For SNK fans, yes, especially if you missed the Pocket Color like everyone else. Despite the Compilation’s game-to-dollar value, though, this is still a collection of twenty-year-old handheld games. If you miss the Game Boy days and want something new to play, you may find something worthwhile here.

WarioWare: Get It Together! is a fast-paced game whose latest changes have created a ton of replay value. Challenge your brain, put your reaction time to the test and get some friends together for some classic fun with this legendary Nintendo character.

Miitopia brings fun ideas to the RPG genre but overstays its welcome.
