    South Park: The Fractured But Whole is still fun to play on the Switch, but a number of technical issues prevent it from being anything more than a simple port.

    While DKCTF’s levels are quite long, have frequent checkpoints, as well as the simplicity and fun of its gameplay, and an overall fast pace make it perfect for gaming on the go.

    Although not quite on par with an MLB, Super Mega Baseball 2 is a great entry for its price, offer-ing enough simplicity in gameplay to be enjoyable to practically anyone.

    When it comes down to it, Jotun: Valhalla Edition is a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch, offering players an easy to digest action adventure title that visually takes full advantage of the Switch's large screen real-estate.

    Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia experiments with the series’ formula to great effect, creating a compelling, epic setting that is refreshing to play for series’ newcomers and veterans alike.

    Derivative, clumsily executed, but hauntingly beautiful. Crank the music and bathe in the scenery before you start talking to people.

    Light Fall is a simple platformer designed great for speed runners but with enough lore for any casual player to enjoy.

    The terrible thing is that, on paper, Extinction sounds great.

    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.

    Frostpunk is a brutal city-builder that shines thanks to difficult choices, an original world and engaging gameplay.

    While it is not for everyone, if you enjoy the tactical tank genre and can look past some bland maps, Armored Warfare is well worth your free-to-play hours.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Adventure Pals, while endlessly visually appealing, funny, and enjoyable in its light combat, feels far too drawn out due to its lifeless stages, weakening an otherwise delightful experience.

    God of War is back with one of the most rewarding experiences on the PlayStation 4 to date.

    Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is an engaging, challenging multiplayer game that succeeds in spite of loot and matchmaking issues thanks to clever level design and thrilling combat.

    Penny-Punching Princess’ simplicity is its strongest factor, but its lack of polish in narrative, and the price make it hard to recommend to every Switch owner.

    Seven: The Days Long Gone does a few things very well, but none of them involve the mechanics or gameplay at all.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    If you’re looking for a more conventional strategy title to add to your Switch library, World Conqueror X is perfect for you. I think the game works best in handheld mode, as it’s not boasting the most visually appealing style.
    • 64 Metascore

    Way of the Passive Fist is a game that continually left me wanting more and I highly recommend it.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.

    The Alliance Alive's one-of-a-kind atmosphere and decadent soundtrack are high notes in an experience otherwise subject to the whims of random number generation.

    Far Cry 5 was a blast from start to finish, pulling me into the experience instantly with an Americana rich world full of memorable characters and built with a strong core of addictive first-person gameplay.

    • 70 Critic Score
    It’s a solid enough game and it does offer a lot for serious baseballers while still being pretty fun and approachable for guys like me who might just want to play some arcade-style baseball with friends. While I did wish it had a little more to make it a more complete experience, I don’t regret my time with it.

    Attack on Titan is a fun hack-and-slash that well represents the Attack on Titan franchise.

    Detective Pikachu is a title that fans of Pokémon shouldn’t miss out on, especially those who are fans of the anime series or those who can’t get enough of Pikachu’s rosy red electric cheeks. For those looking for a bit more substance in their Pokémon games are encouraged to check out one of the numerous RPGs based on the series available on the 3DS.

    Sea of Thieves feels like a game that should be offered for $10–$20 tops as an early access or game preview product. There just isn't enough content or depth here, its core gameplay is grinding repetitive fetch quests and not a whole lot else, the progression here just isn't fulfilling, and fun factor depends on who you're playing with.

    While it’s nice to see Battle Royale games on mobile, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds doesn’t translate well to a mobile experience due to its poor touch controls and lack of optimization.

    While nothing made by humans has yet to withstand the test of time indefinitely, Burnout Paradise Remastered managed to escape the last decade with only a few wrinkles here or there.
    • 84 Metascore

    One of the best JRPGs released in ages, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is as charming as it is intricate, full of expressive characters and addictive gameplay systems that mesh together in perfect harmony.

    DJMax Respect is easily the hardest music game I've ever played but is also the most jam-packed with songs right on the disc and plenty of content to unlock. While it doesn't feature household named like Aerosmith or other lesser rock bands, it has a little something for everyone.
