    Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores
    Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores extends the tropical scenery of the main game and introduces the land of Hollywood to the story complete with a solid amount of content and upgrades which makes it a fine choice to lengthen your adventure with Aloy.

    Call of the Sea
    As far as first-person adventure games go, Call of the Sea is a somewhat short and memorable one that you'll be glad you experienced.

    Monomals
    I can't believe that more people aren't talking about Monomals as it's clearly one of the best indie games on the Switch eShop. From its challenging and unconventional gameplay to its nifty music creation tool, it really is the bee's knees.

    Mr. Run and Jump
    I had way more fun with Mr. Run and Jump than I thought I would as its puzzle-like approach to stringing together jumps is impressive.

    Slime-san: Superslime Edition
    If you're a fan of super-tough 2D platformers and still haven't played Slime-san then purchasing this Superslime Edition should be a no-brainer. With oodles of addictive content that'll keep you busy for days, you'd be a goof not to download this sucker.

    FANTASIAN Neo Dimension
    FANTASIAN Neo Dimension is a jam-packed RPG that blends retro and modern elements wonderfully in both its presentation and gameplay. So, if you have fond memories of games like The Legend of Dragoon then you need to play this.

    Live A Live
    LIVE A LIVE kept me excited for what the next chapter would entail with each one boasting unique characters, settings, and gameplay so it's a perfect game for anyone who relishes variety. I just wish each chapter was fleshed out with more depth and unique elements.

    Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions
    It's great to see Nintendo bringing new life to their classics, especially after such a long time since the original Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga was released. The graphics are dramatically improved, the map is more accessible than ever, and everything that you loved from the original is still here along with some bells and whistles and a brand new untold story.

    The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure
    If you enjoyed Trails from Zero then naturally, The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure should be next on your list of games to play. With its familiar world, cast of characters, and gameplay albeit with a few minor twists; this is one epic RPG that you're sure to love.

    Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore
    Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE is one of the greatest JRPGs of all time. However, if you already own the Wii U version, there's little reason to buy it again on Switch. That being said, the new follow-up attacks, improved performance, and story content are nice treats.

    Paradise Killer is a rarity amongst detective games as it accomplishes the feeling of being an actual investigator within its unique setting.

    LEGO Party!
    If you get invited to LEGO Party! then be sure to go because with its incredibly entertaining mini-games and commentators that'll make you crack up as you explore its jam-packed super-silly boards, this is one funky fresh shindig that you won't soon forget.

    ICEY
    Although Icey contains an entertaining meta narrative, it really isn't much of a game. However, the combat can be quite fun (albeit underutilized) so if you're looking for a short and strange experience then Icey will be worth checking out.

    Aviary Attorney: Definitive Edition
    Aviary Attorney is a funny and distinctly stylish game yet it owes Phoenix Wright a bit too much in residual cheques.

    Jet Lancer
    When it comes to action-packed arcade shooting gameplay, few indies rise to the level of quality that Jet Lancer presents.

    TEVI
    I had a great time with TEVI and wholeheartedly recommend it to any fellow Metroidvania fan, especially if you love cute adventures.

    Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising
    Yes, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is a good fighting game but its totes adorbs Grand Bruise Legends mode is what really won me over.

    Capcom Fighting Collection 2
    If you have fond memories of the 3D fighting boom back at the turn of the millennium then you'll adore what Capcom Fighting Collection 2 has in store. Of course, fans of the 2D classics have a lot to sink their teeth into as well so there's something here for every fighting fan.

    Not everyone will find Untitled Goose Game funny but it's definitely a clever and charming game that'll get your imagination going.

    FAR: Changing Tides
    As someone who usually doesn't enjoy meditative gaming experiences, I must admit that FAR: Changing Tides completely captivated me.

    Overcooked! 2
    The original Overcooked is a cooperative masterpiece and this sequel simply tried a little too hard. It's still enjoyable but the frustrating stage designs and easy scoring system make for a far less satisfying meal.

    Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key
    Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key is the best-looking game in the franchise and it's so full of heart and wonder that anyone with a soft spot for delightful adventures will easily fall in love with it. I can't wait to see what Gust has in store next.

    R-Type Dimensions EX
    R-Type Dimensions has been around for almost a decade and this EX edition doesn't really add anything substantial to the compilation. That being said, these are still two of the best shoot 'em ups ever made.

    Rune Factory 4 Special
    Simply put, Rune Factory 4 Special is the best game in the series so far and a great showcase for how many different gameplay elements can be combined to create an addictive farming sim RPG formula that's exceptionally difficult to put down.

    The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie
    I'm amazed that in an era when the aim for mass appeal is actively compromising many iconic franchises, The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie defiantly stands tall as an undeniably niche and ultimately incredible experience that fans will absolutely adore.

    Life is Strange: True Colors
    Life is Strange: True Colors presents a tale of empathy as you witness a town struggle to deal with a tragic event. I enjoyed my time in Haven, especially when seeing the world through the eyes of different characters and the ending presented an interesting twist. However, it's all over quickly and the mystery-solving portion is lackluster but it's an ultimately rewarding experience.
