If you enjoy scavenger hunts, have some fond memories of the 1990s or, like me, have a passion for computers and the web, you will enjoy your role as a Hypnospace Enforcer. [Issue #51 – March/April 2021, p. 33]- Nintendo Force Magazine

If you want to settle back with a drink and a snack and enjoy a story that's equal parts salacious and introspective, this is one title I would highly recommend. [Issue #40 – July/August 2019, p. 27]- Nintendo Force Magazine

If On a Roll was a primer for 2D platformers, then this follow-up is a tutorial for the 3D variety. [Issue #51 – March/April 2021, p.73]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Save the World's streamlined verb-free take on point-and-click design remains enjoyable to this day and makes the entire game's narrative easy to sit back and enjoy without getting stumped for hours. Remakes rarely highlight the strengths of a game this well! [Issue #58 – March/April 2022, p. 22]- Nintendo Force Magazine

If it had been released closer to the franchise's heyday, Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth could have been seen as one of the all-time greats. As it stands, it's a fun stew of mixed influences that often does things by the numbers, but goes harder with its art than it has to. [Issue #60 – July/August 2022, p. 75]- Nintendo Force Magazine

I haven't played many games that gave me as much agency as Arcadia Fallen, and who doesn't want to be the hero (or anti-hero) of a fantasy story? Check this one out if you're looking for a game where you can really be yourself – or someone completely different! [Issue #58 – March/April 2022, p. 28]- Nintendo Force Magazine

I think The Caligula Effect 2 will provide a fun experience for fans of the first game and JRPG fans in general. But for those new to the genre, you can find better ones on the Switch that may leave you with fewer regrets. [Issue #58 – March/April 2022, p. 75]- Nintendo Force Magazine

Depending on how much you enjoy pushing yourself, the fun of Big Brain Academy may wear thin relatively quickly for solo players, but if you're in a situation where you can play with others locally – like quarantining at home with your spouse and kids for nearly a full two years now – Big Brain Academy is an absolute must-buy.
