Seven: The Days Long Gone does a few things very well, but none of them involve the mechanics or gameplay at all.

Its main saving grace is a co-op mode (both local and online, which is a rarity in indie games like this) that significantly improves the pacing of the game. Having multiple allies in tandem with extra firepower and different abilities mixes things up and gives you a better response to what the game throws at you, but as usual, co-op is certainly a crutch for what should be a better solo experience.

NNG is about as relaxing as an afternoon with Papers, Please. It’s also a hell of a lot of fun.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is a game on par with its predecessor in terms of quality, but that is hard to see when it is covered in garbage business decisions.

Koihime Enbu is a solid, old school fighter with a strong foundation that taps into the nostalgia of a bygone era.

Battleborn left me feeling like it was not bad or good, it just is, and that's not a good thing.

Let's School has some interesting ideas, but fails to execute them in a satisfying way and is particularly unwieldy on the Switch.

Sonic the Hedgehog and Bioshock had a lovechild and named it Valley, a sleeper hit that deserves your attention.

Naruto X Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections is another derivate ink stroke on the never-ending ninja scroll that makes up the Ultimate Ninja Storm series.

The game won’t win any prizes for originality and the final game can be potentially unfair, but it’s still worth checking out.

Déraciné creates what may be the most enriching world yet seen in VR, but only scratches the surface in terms of actual gameplay.

INAYAH - Life After Gods has an interesting look but lacks the depth needed for challenging combat, and the incentive to explore its world to make for an interesting Metroid-like.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! Early Days Collection is an incredibly robust collection that is sure to please long-time fans, but may be a bit too archaic for some newcomers.

Don’t Open the Doors! is a game with soul. People cared about this game, but the gameplay just isn’t there.

While the adventure is nothing worthwhile, One Piece: Unlimited World Deluxe Edition is a fun brawler for the Nintendo Switch.

As someone who is a big supporter of ports on the Switch, this game may have me reaching my breaking point with the whole concept. I’m getting tired of publishers using the Switch as a reason to double-dip on games, I’m getting tired of ports that aren’t optimized for the system it’s on, and I’m just getting tired of old games taking precedence over new ones. Why couldn’t we have gotten Star Wars: The Force Unleashed instead?

Overall, Ad Infinitum does great outside of its first two hours. There is a gripping story with some incredibly well designed monsters in store for you if you can get yourself past the introduction section of its first monster.

The Jackbox Party Pack 10 is a well-rounded smattering of minigames, proving there's still plenty of gas in the series' tank.

Citadelum brings city building to the next level, and although some ideas feel a bit like busywork, at the base of it all is an exceptional sim experience.

GreedFall: The Dying World, unfortunately, misses the mark with an incredibly buggy experience and lacklustre combat, despite a story and world that could have been worth exploring.

Much like the pottery it's based on, Kiln is a game that has some creativity but is pretty empty on the inside.

The Casting of Frank Stone is an interesting, albeit mildly frustrating game that does a solid job expanding on the Dead by Daylight franchise.

Serious Sam 4 is a no-brainer for fans of the series and is a game that fans of singleplayer/co-op shooters will likely enjoy too.

Warriors: Abyss can provide a fun experience for the Warriors die-hards, but could be skipped by everyone else.

The Charnel House Trilogy takes too long to get going and doesn't go very far when it does. Most of it is a dead bore.

The Nintendo Labo Robot Kit is disappointing. While I absolutely adored the in-depth build and the creativity behind the Toy-Con Garage, the actual gameplay included in this $100 package simply isn’t worth the price of admission.

Exoprimal has a lot of fun dino-blasting to be had, but you’ll need to get past some truly questionable barriers to get to that point.

Battlefield 2042 is a fun enough time, but DICE needs to work hard if it wants to take the unrefined ideas found here and turn it into something that feels like a worthy successor to the Battlefield legacy.
