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]

Bravely Second is a superb sequel and stands among the upper echelon of 3DS and Japanese RPGs. [Issue #21 – May/June 2016, p.68]

Skyward Sword still suffers from a few low-point problems, but on the whole, and especially now with all this HD edition's improvements, it's a wonderful adventure that I would wholeheartedly recommend to all Legend of Zelda fans. Newcomers might want to start simpler with a game like Link's Awakening before leaping into this one, but once you've got a bit of gaming experience under your belt, you're ready to soar these skies. And veterans? It seems like 10 years is right around the right amount of time for memories of a first playthrough to fade, so if you only played this quest once before on Wii, definitely give it a second look now. It'll feel like a brand-new Zelda! [Issue #54 – September 2021, p. 75]

What a sweet game! Perfect for a relaxing Saturday. [Issue #51 – March/April 2021, p. 29]

Monster Hunter Stories 2's story and gameplay work in tandem to make this entry a standout in the franchise and in the creature collection genre as a whole. The gameplay is addictive, and the story and characters kept me invested in the finer details of the world. Plus, there is plenty to do after you've completed the story. If you're intrigued about this series or a fan who's wondering if it's worth your while, I say give this one a shot. And ride on! [Issue #54 – September 2021, p. 71]

The plot and scenario kept me engaged even in its tedium, and while the game is different from the stellar original, it is brilliant in its own right. [Issue #56 – November/December 2021, p. 69]

Persona 5 Strikers proves to be a beautiful and worthy sequel to the original game, with the cast, story and combat all shining in old and new ways. [Issue #52 – May/June 2021, p. 67]

Nothing should stop any gamer (over the age of 17) from experiencing the excellence of the entire Zero Escape series. [Issue #23 – September/October 2016, p.72]

A great game, even if the difficulty feels a little lopsided. [Issue #43 – November/December 2019, p. 22SW]

It's time to get creative, because the best version of Disney Infinity has truly arrived. [Issue #17 – September/October 2015, p.70]

A sharp adventure that will really test your mettle! [Issue #51 – March/April 2021, p. 31]

If you're just here to knock monster heads around, you'll get bored quickly. $30 is too much to recommend this one, unless you're a really big fan of kaiju action and story, or you want to get really deep into the customization aspect. Without unlockables or much variety in gameplay, the game's initial punch of awesome fades quickly. Still, this game could be just the start of something bigger. If Dawn of the Monsters turns out to be just the dawn of a new series, perhaps its sequels could build more on the foundation of this one's ruined cityscapes. [Issue #60 – July/August 2022, p. 27]

The secrets and surprises are worth the cost of entry. [Issue #32 – March/April 2018, p. 26]
