    While Mega Man 11 isn't a perfect game, it's certainly a fun one, and it establishes a solid foundation for the Blue Bomber going forward. [Issue #36 – November/December 2018, p. 80]

    It is glorious. Maybe not perfect, but still very good. It has everything I loved from Banana Blitz HD, and little of what I didn't. I highly recommend checking it out if you're new to the series, or if you just want to see a Dreamcast in a ball. [Issue #56 – November/December 2021, p. 71]

    Much like its predecessor, Project X Zone 2 is a lighthearted, fun time – and it manages to improve on that first game. [Issue #20 – March/April 2016, p.76]

    I went into Iconoclasts completely blind and came out at the other end of the tunnel smiling. [Issue #36 – November/December 2018, p. 23]

    If you've got a skilled co-op ally at the ready already, though, I recommend diving in immediately! [Issue #45 – March/April 2020, p. 26]

    It's oozing with style and substance, but it's more for people who love connecting with the artist behind their games, and less for those looking for a virtual playground to call their own. [Issue #51 – March/April 2021, p. 16]

    Torna stands out as one of the best Switch adventures of the year, and one that all RPG fans should embark on, whether or not you've played Xenoblade Chronicles 2. [Issue #36 – November/December 2018, p. 82]

    I would have liked to see a better payoff to the story's setup at the end of the game. [Issue #45 – March/April 2020, p. 69]

    If you can get past some disappointing character actions and minor technical issues, there's a dynamite and dynamic strategy game here. [Issue #36 – November/December 2018, p. 83]

    Being a free game (outside of DLC options), it's a very welcome distraction from the grief of losing Super Mario Bros. 35. [Issue #53 – July/August 2021, p. 20]

    If you love NES games and can handle a LOT of gore (seriously, it's rated M for a reason), Infernax is an unforgettable nostalgic experience. [Issue #59 – May/June 2022, p. 20]

    If you've got the time and patience for the assembly process, the reward of getting to enjoy this world is worth it. [Issue #36 – November/December 2018, p. 90]

    FATE looks and sounds great, but it drops a lot of the rhythm-action elements, and loses some specialness along with them. [Issue #51 – March/April 2021, p. 21]

    This is easily one of the best co-op titles on Switch and can't be recommended enough! [Issue #30 – November/December 2017, p. 19]

    While no review can cover every aspect of a game, overall the first year on Switch is nothing short of a success for The Show. The most realistic baseball sim remains just that, all the while being portable. For any baseball fan, The Show is a must-buy. For any sports fan, The Show is a must-buy. With more content dropping throughout the year (and patches to improve the experience too), there's more than enough bang for your buck. [Issue #59 – May/June 2022, p. 65]

    In the grand scheme of things the sum of its parts makes for a fuller Fire Emblem, even if casual fans won't really notice some of the differences. [Issue #46 – May/June 2020, p. 26]
