With Seek Hearts, Exe Create has crafted a story that drives you to see it through to completion. Now RPG fans who aren’t enthusiastic for old school visuals might want to bookmark this game for a future sale, even though the price is fair for all the content included. For my part, I enjoyed beating the game, even with the hit-or-miss enemies.- Pure Nintendo

Just a Phrase by POWGI is a no-frills game that would’ve worked much better as part of a collection than a standalone release. It misses the mark in several key ways. I expected better than a quick game beaten with minimal effort.- Pure Nintendo

The Man With The Ivory Cane is a fun but flawed title. Genre fans should grab it, after a sale and update. Until then, there are too many issues to currently recommend this game on the Nintendo Switch.- Pure Nintendo

Zero Zero Zero Zero doesn’t have what it takes to compete with its competition. If you like precise platformers, I’d wholeheartedly recommend VVVVVV instead, if you don’t already own it.- Pure Nintendo

Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator has modest ambitions but between awkward controls and repetitive gameplay, it is just too bland and arduous to meet them.- Pure Nintendo

Milo’s Quest is a fun and cute game that plays like a simple RPG with a dog protagonist. There’s a lot to like for the budget price, though it does lack some variety and is over rather quickly.- Pure Nintendo

Reed Remastered doesn’t do much of anything to leave a positive impression. Platformers (even one-hit-kill ones like this) are a dime a dozen on the Nintendo Switch. How does this one hope to stand out with the multiple ways it comes up short? I was hoping for better; I didn’t have fun playing it.- Pure Nintendo

You don’t have to be a puzzle aficionado to enjoy Glass Masquerade 2: Illusions. It helps, of course, as would an appreciation for quality artwork. What really matters here, though, is that the game is so well-crafted and presented that it serves as a captivating, ethereal way to spend time relaxing with your Switch.- Pure Nintendo

In the end, ELEA: Paradigm Shift looks and feels like a beta release. It has a very unfinished feel with all its problems. It wouldn’t even make a good hardware demo for the Switch because of glitches.- Pure Nintendo

Although it’s great to see new games released for the 3DS (and with a good implementation of the 3D effect that even Nintendo eventually abandoned), Silver Falls: 3 Down Stars isn’t worth dusting off your old portable. It’s effectively creepy, but it’s also buggy, drab, and a general slog. However, it leaves me with hope that the developers will be able to put it all together in future games.- Pure Nintendo

Help Me Doctor is a simulation game that’s made with broken dialogue, sprinkled with glitches, and only a pinch of gameplay. Save the $8 and find a different medical simulator.- Pure Nintendo

What it all boils down to is that Knightin’+ struggled to keep me engaged. The lack of an overworld of any type makes it ultimately forgettable. For $5.99, you’ll get a strictly average title.- Pure Nintendo

Fishing Adventure is a mediocre fishing experience for the Nintendo Switch. While it looks nice, it suffers from a simple and repetitive formula that detracts from the overall experience. The idea of leveling up and earning rewards is sound, but it’s executed poorly, making it feel like a grinding experience.- Pure Nintendo

Skull Rogue is a unique endless adventure. The gameplay is simple, and the idea to beat your previous record is fun. However, what starts as a challenge quickly becomes too easy.- Pure Nintendo

While short, The Unholy Society is a fun story-driven game that uses an odd protagonist to tell an interesting story. Mix that with unique combat and cartoony graphics, you have a fun title for an afternoon.- Pure Nintendo

BE-A Walker may be a “walking simulator” but it’s nowhere near as humdrum as the genre suggests. The easy to pick up, difficult to master controls make the Joy-Cons work in tandem, in near-perfect harmony. The difficulty curve may be too much for some to handle, but if you’re looking for a satisfying challenge, this may just be it.- Pure Nintendo

My time spent with Pooplers was disappointing as it wasn’t fun. I thought to myself several times when playing, “Who thought this was a good idea?” and “People are expected to play this and enjoy it?” I would not suggest this game to be played at your next gaming party or at all.- Pure Nintendo

Epic Word Search Collection doesn’t particularly excite, but it accomplishes what it sets out to do. If you own (and have enjoyed) prior Lightwood titles, the length of this one makes it worth adding to your Nintendo Switch digital library.- Pure Nintendo

Baron: Fur is Gonna Fly is a clever, comical, completely accessible combat game that’ll appeal to arcade action fans of any age level. Gameplay is tight, the characters are engaging, and the music is simply outstanding. The Royal Guardsmen would definitely be proud…even if Snoopy himself is called out here.- Pure Nintendo

Ski Sniper is fun enough for some shooting practice with a funny premise, but it doesn’t have a whole lot of meat to it.- Pure Nintendo

Thunder Paw is a charming platformer that’s short but not so sweet. The gameplay doesn’t hold up compared to the cute pixel art and fun music.- Pure Nintendo

Arcade games are known for being to-the-point and energetic. Finding one that’s both of those things, and fast-paced, is a treasure. There’s definitely replayability in a title like Super Destronaut: Land Wars. Short as it might be overall, the game modes never get boring.- Pure Nintendo

Swordbreaker The Game delivers on its promise of a choose-your-own-adventure story. If you like reading and enjoy a somewhat crazy adventure, this isn’t a bad way to spend a few hours, especially if you’re in self-isolation mode right now.- Pure Nintendo

While Random Heroes may make a decent mobile game, the updated version—Random Heroes: Gold Edition—isn’t really up to par, especially for the asking price of $4.99. It is an excellent example of why some games should stay on mobile devices.- Pure Nintendo

Bohemian Killing isn’t the prettiest game in the world, but it’s certainly a fascinating experience. It delivers on both its concept as a good ol’ fashioned whodunnit, as well as its unconventional approach to storytelling.- Pure Nintendo

Otherworldly is just a little underwhelming and short for the price. I recommend waiting for a discount if this looks like a game you would be interested in.- Pure Nintendo

Diabolic is a fun action-adventure game with smooth controls and unique gameplay. It’ll challenge you but not to the point where you’ll rage quit.- Pure Nintendo

Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe is an average fighting game. Although the gameplay isn’t bad, there are too many other underlying issues that keep me from recommending this title. Try another fighter instead.- Pure Nintendo

In the end, this port turned out to be an average experience for me in most ways. I’d suggest checking out the free version first (on mobile with half the levels). Subsequently, you can decide if adding Mekorama to your Switch digital library is the right call.- Pure Nintendo
